The Countdown Begins!
Our trip is booked!! I was tempted to start packing tonight but I just don't have the energy. I suppose it was a really weird feeling when we were planning our visit trip last time as well, but this time it is a different weird feeling. I am already starting to wonder how we are going to manage with two small kids. I am sure we are going to do just fine. Of course the number one great thing about this trip is going to be that we get to meet William. Greg and I have also been discussing other peripheral great things about this trip, things that many people who have never gone to Guatemala and stayed at the Westin wouldn't know a thing about. Here is the top ten from our list:
1. Viva Hollywood. Viva Cinacanal! - This is the tag line for the tv station we always watched when we were there. They played really bad American movies. It was all in English (with Spanish subtitles) which was very helpful.
2. Victor - This was one of the waiters in the restaurant. We saw him every day on both of our trips and every single day he would talk to Marcus and then say to us, "My name is Victor." Apparently he didn't want us to forget his name. We haven't.
3. The Kissing Commercial - I am really doubting that we will see this commercial again since we haven't been there for months. It was so cute though! I don't have a clue what it was really advertising but in the commercial a boy puts up some ad online, apparently for a kiss, and some girl sees the ad and buys it. The boy goes to the girl's house. He gets his little kiss and then walks away.
4. The Italian Restaurant - I cant remember the name of it but it is the restaurant in the Westin that had really yummy food.
5. Fried Plantains - This doesn't need an explanation. They are just yummy.
6. Wonderful Westin Beds - Oh so comfy!
7. Saying "hola" and "gracias" to people and not having them look at you strange
8. Lots and lots of Guatemalan babies!!
9. Lots and lots of other adoptive families that understand us!!
10. Getting to meet William's foster family.
