Why Guatemala? We asked ourselves that question when planning to come to this country. We chose it because we have an acquaintance who is doing mission work in Guatemala. We didn’t know much about the country, but that Guatemala was in Central America, and it seemed like a little backwater country. Little did we realize…
Our next stop would be Antigua, Guatemala. I was really looking forward to this time, as my BFF Teresita Davis was coming to visit us for a week! Yay! We had a wonderful time catching up on all the news, exploring the city and just hanging out by our pool. It was such a relaxing…
Our next adventure took us to Tikal National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is situated in the northern region of Guatemala, near the town of Flores in the department of El Petén. We arranged a transport service which picked us up at our apartment in Flores and took us to Tikal. Flores has…
La Senda mission was the primary reason for our journey to Guatemala. Engaging in mission work has always been a priority for us, especially when there’s a personal connection to the mission. Dan Fuller, who happens to be the brother of one of my besties from nursing school, has been deeply involved in mission work…
Belize – what a refreshing change in climate from Costa Rica! Nestled on the eastern coast of Central America, Belize captivates with its vibrant culture, lush jungles, and pristine Caribbean coastline.

Our trip to Cozumel marked one of the smoothest journeys we had embarked on. A brief (but super-hot) stroll from our Airbnb led us to the ferry boarding area, from which we enjoyed a scenic and relaxing ferry ride. An exciting prospect awaited us as we anticipated spending time with the Schafer family, although we…
After the wonderful time we spent with my son Kyle and Sunny in Oaxaca, we continued our journey to Playa del Carmen. We planned on only being here for 4 nights, as were transitioning from our “vacation mode” to our “living mode”. However, we ended up quite busy with our day trip to the ruins….
Much like enjoying potato chips, once you’ve started exploring ruins – looking at you Monte Albón – you can’t stop at just one. Yes, we have caught the archaeological bug. We decided to visit the ruins of Mitla, known for their unique and intricate architectural style characterized by the extensive use of finely crafted geometric designs,…
One of the highlights of our trip was our visit to Monte Albán, which turned out to be a fascinating day excursion. Kyle selected our guide from among the several available at the site. Our guide was a captivating individual with a deep love for Monte Albán and seemed appropriate for this place. Monte Albán…
