Left Tuxtla Gutierrez at 8 am so we could get to Guatemala City by days end. Climbed high over a pass and was some spectacular scenery and 280 km later we were at the border at La Massilla and an hour later we were through the border . Another 290 km to go, and the road carves through huge mountains on either side of you for miles on end with speed bumps galore for 75 km. The road twists and turns for 230 km. and the buses drive at horrific speeds can barely overtake them. Arrived in Guatemala City in the dark and went straight to the hotel where Mario's wife was awaiting him. showered and went out for a fantastic dinner where the gang polished off a liter of whisky over dinner to celebrate their triumphant and safe return home. Ban Bans brother, Thomas, paid for everything and then they puffed on some Cuban cigars and then retired to bed.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
