Rainy Departure

Looking out the window from my dad's place in Long Beach I see and hear rain and wind ruining my soon approaching walk to the metro train station a few blocks away where i'll make my way to LAX. Not even the rain can ruin my spirits though as I've been planning and looking forward to my trip to Central America for several months now. Hard to believe it is finally here. I'll catch a late flight tonight to Fort Lauderdale where i'll hang out in the airport for a few hours before getting on my next flight into Guatemala City. I feel that I have prepared myself as much as possible, but there are still so many unknowns that I will come to face. With the help of my little spanish dictionary I will find my way to Antigua where i'll stay at a hostel for a night before making my way to Lago de Antitlan.
