Details of my trip to Central America. Guatemala to Panama.

So we made it to Guate... after surpsing Lisa at LAX with a quick Mimosa toast to our trip we got to our gate for a quick 5 hr flight to Guatemala City. We landed around 7am and easily made our way through immigration. Somehow we missed the tourist info desk and found ourselves outside with a m…

Good Times

Went to the volcano Pacaya.  Our group left at 6am on the dot. I recommend Andrenaline Tours, it was only $2 more than the other operators (so $10), but the guy they set us up with was prompt and we were the first tour group at the volcano which was great!  The reason is that there are no…

Volcanoes, beaches, tortillas, mucha cerveza!!.... no body armour! Life couldn't be more different from the heat, dust and whistling of mortars in Baghdad!!

Idag har vi vaeret ude og bestige en vulkan!! Vi blev hentet kl 6 imorges og skulle korer rundt i byen for at hente de andre turister der skulle med. Vi var en lille gruppe kun 14 ialt. (Nogle af de selskaber vi snakkede med var grupperne paa 30-40 personer!!) Vi var heldigvis den forste gruppe d…
