6 pounds of shit in a 5 pound sack

I’m in Mexico on day 9. If I travel quickly but not speeding I will be in Guatemala in 6 days but it won’t be a ‘relaxing ‘ time – what it will be is 8 to 12 hours on the bus every day. If I wish to spend 6 weeks in huehue there just isn’t enough days in my vacation. Something has to give. I think I will take it a tad more slowly through Mexico having fun on the way and then will fly back from Guate to Phoenix.

Part of the problem is PPP (piss poor planning). Taking the route I took is hardly the ‘direct’ route to Guate – I mean, look at a map – boy did I go out of my way. It was worth every mile as I’m going somewhere different (at least for part of my trip) in Mexico and the sights in the States were to die for.
