Guate2027 Checklist!

 

Everything is coming together!

1. Accommodation booked: through AirBnb, nice I bedroom flat just outside the city centre and closer to where I will be volunteering in Ciudad Vieja

2. Flights booked:  (via Amsterdam and Mexico City) AVOIDING USA flying with KLM and Aeromexico 

3. Language tuition booked:    With a prestigious school where I will do 2 weeks of Spanish 7 hours a day 5 days a week, with a focus on conversational skills, and, 1 week intensive Kaqchikel (that will be a real adventure) as the structure of the language bears no resemblance to anything I have studied before.

4. Spanish revision in progress  ably (?) assisted by Chat GPT.

5. Started my fund raising to get the £500 contribution I am expected to make to Niños de Guatemala.  I know my friends will be generous!

6. Reconnecting with old friends from Antigua (remember I was living there for a year in 2011-2012 and have kept in touch with one or two people there.
