Just call me gennyca from the site: gypsy girls guide
I sit at my laptop pondering what to key-in. Tomorrow I head to the Toronto International Airport. My one-way ticket has me traveling to Guatemala City. I’ve been assured that someone will be there to drive me to Antigua, Guatemala. I will spend four weeks in Antigua, living with a family that speaks no English (I speak no Spanish, could be interesting.) From there I have scheduled to take a bus to Copan, Honduras. After that, nothing planned. But in my heart of hearts I know I’m working my way to the Island of Roatan, Honduras.
Tonight I will spend time with my son, daughter-in-law, and three young grandsons. A few days ago, the rest of my family and friends threw a going away party for me at my favourite Thai restaurant. We discussed what my living accommodations would be like once I reached Guatemala. What kind of food I would be eating. And was I really sure this trip was a good idea. I don’t know what my living arrangements will be like. I have no idea about the food, I just keep picturing tacos. I don’t have a clue if this trip is a good idea or not, but I know I have to try.
Two weeks previous, I took one last look around my empty house, pretty much everything had been sent to be auctioned off. I set a note on the fireplace hearth for the new owners, assuring them that the chimney was cleaned as per our sales agreement. Hearing the lock catch, as I pulled the front door closed for the last time, I dropped the keys in the mailbox, slung my backpack on, and awkwardly tugged my three suitcases and one carry- on to the waiting taxi—I had sold my car too.
I don’t need a vehicle anymore, since its main function was to get me to and from my job. Actually, it wasn’t just a job, it was my very rewarding career, that I had spent fifteen years building.
