Exit Plan, or not!

Guatemala is trying to swallow me up, the worst part is that part of me wouldn't mind.

I made a good exit plan and came to Guatemala City made it to the airport in time and the lady at the counter says "you have no internet ticket". Well I paid for it! And my CC shows the amount. A little research revealed that it was my fault my ticket was for the 9th of April a week earlier and I missed it. 404 internal stoner error! Luckily the plane actually never flew and I can get my refund.

But, to thicken the soup I went back to my hostel to use internet and phone to sort this out and ordered another ticket it all went fine I got my ticket and went back to the airport. This time the lady says I see your reservation but it says you have not paid, so you can pay me now. Well, I don't have $400 or a Credit card to pay so I end up going back to my hostel again.

Now... well... I don't know. I usually take this kind of thing as a sign to re-assess my path and consider what other options I have. Maybe I am supposed to stay, if I liked rain I would. Tomorrow I guess I will start another day of attempting to get on a plane back to my peeps in the states, for now I will go get coffee and consider the situation.

With patience,
Jopa

success, back in Colorado. But I stink really bad as I only had two sets of cloths for a 2 day trip that turned into 5 days. I feel really sorry for the peeps next to me on the plane.
