As I said to Les, it is soooo very quiet here today on Christmas Day. All of our festivities occurred over this past weekend with a lot of commotion and food with children, grandchildren, God grandchildren, dogs, and Todd's old roommate (and his family) from college. They left to return to NC Monday morning for the in-laws Christmas festivities. <br /><br />Yes, I agree; a Canadian Christmas right now I'm sure is a lot happier than one here in the US with all the turmoil in the White House and Congress. A substantial number of government employees and contractors will not be paid over the Holidays because of 25 percent shutdown of the federal government. I don't think Beach and I will receive our civilian and military retirement checks or Social Security checks because of this shutdown. All of this over a stupid wall. But I have faith that when the "new" Congress take their seats on January 2nd, changes will occur. You know, Nixon resigned when he was smart enough to figure out he was out gunned. Not so sure about the "smarts" regarding this one; more concerned now (more than ever) about national security with him in charge. <br /><br />So, enjoy your Canadian Christmas and cherish it!

The air fare was more than Mexico but it cost less to rent. We would get condos for between 400 and 800 USD depending on location and how fancy the place was fitted out. They all came with internet, cable and utilities packed into the price. I've followed your spreadsheets on your travel costs over the years; Antigua is much cheaper than what you posted. We would get around with shuttles and buses to the tourist attractions, rent 4x4 cars for the backcountry runs. Some of the backcountry motels were a little primitive (like bring your own padlock for the door primitive) but it is the nature of the backcountry. <br />Antigua is pretty upscale as Guatemala goes-lots of good restaurants and some of the best rum anywhere. We always rented online but you don't have to, people reserve a hotel, use the hotel's airport service to get to Antigua and then scout out a place once they get there. <br />Winter in Antigua is the dry season, little or no rain, not too hot, maybe a little dusty come March, just an endless run of blue skies, day after day. normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651902762232427335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5414957110325310952.post-32591210921926717272018-12-22T17:56:42.958-08:002018-12-22T17:56:42.958-08:00WOW, that's pretty sad that you thumb your nos...WOW, that's pretty sad that you thumb your nose at all of USA just because you don't like one person.
