Antigua 🇬🇹 Day One
I’m a traveler, but since having three kids in the past two years, plus a pandemic… I haven’t gone many places.
I always intended to travel with my kids, so finally I got the chance to bring a two year old and two five month olds to Guatemala.
Not the furthest destination, but this may have been my most ambitious trip.
The part that seemed the most intimidating was the first part… getting there. The flight itself wasn’t so bad, the kids mostly slept and Deanna packed the magic school bus backpack full of goodies. The bigger challenge was getting through the airport.
We landed in Guatemala City and got a ride to Antigua, about 40 minutes. I probably overpaid for the transport but I wanted our first journey to be comfortable.
We got into our homestay which was really nice. Love that it was built around this outdoor courtyard. Explored the balcony too.
For these trips I say not to plan anything for your first 24 hours to let everyone recoup. We got naps, playtime, and by the end Rhys and I even worked up enough energy for a walk in town.
