Oh, how wonderful! Wishing you safe travels and a great time with your son. Visit trips are so special &, in the future, you'll be able to share those memories with your child. Hope you get to see at least a little of Guatemala. It's such an amazingly beautiful country.
And the IR-3 visa is a great plus... Damaris

Fantastic!! When we did our visit in February it was also our first trip out of the country (not counting Canada) and we were sooo anxious about it. It was wonderful, and yours will be too! I hope by then you're sailing through PGN!

Carri - how exciting - you will have a great time with Hudson and try to get a window seat so you can take in all the beauty of the hills of Guatemala. Have fun!

My first time leaving the country was to go on our first visit trip for our first Guat adoption as well. What a great reason to get a passport, huh????? Have fun!
