the real story on hotel situation

Just got an email from a colleague in our Guatemala City office - there is a global banking and finance conference in Guatemala the first two weeks in November and that is why all the hotels are booked.

Hopefully we'll all be able to find a room somewhere without having to break the bank.

Good luck,

Thanks - that makes a whole lot more sense than what had been said about families making reservations. It's good to know this is a temporary issue!

Thanks for the scoop. It didn't seem possible that adoptive families could be booking all the available hotel rooms during that one two-week period of time.

The Westin has plenty of availability. I booked there tonight for the days of Oct. 28 through Nov. 1.

HTH,
Lori
