Anyone going Easter weekend?

I have a ticket on hold and am trying to decide about going to visit Walker for his first birthday over Easter weekend. I had hoped a friend could come w/me, but it's not looking good. I'll either stay at the Westin or Marriott and was just wondering if anyone else will be there!

Walker was 4 months old my last visit and I'm really nervous about how he'll respond to me! I wish Mark could come but he's going to keep our other three!

Just let me know...thanks!

I'm not...but just wanted to suggest that you get a hotel reservation before you purchase the airline ticket. Hotels during Semana Santa (Holy Week) fill up and those that don't fill up a few weeks ahead of time get more expensive.

If you decide to go, it is a fascinating time to be in Guatemala (in addition to getting to see Walker, of course!). Safe travels.......
