Just show my adventurous spirit, we followed through with a decision to take the bus from Managua, Nicaragua back home to Guatemala City, Guatemala.
The bus left at 3am and arrived on the east side of Guatemala City at 9pm that night.
18 hours.
Yes, we are crazy.
But we have done worse things. How about the 36 hours from Arica, Chile down through the Atacama desert to Santiago, Chile, in 1994 with the Orcutts and Boerckels. Or, how about the 48 hour bus ride from Corumbá, Brazil to San Paulo, Brazil back in 1988 as a family?

We were in
Nicaragua
Honduras
El Salvador
and then Guatemala
The best part of the 18 hour trip, was the last 4 hours from El Salvador into Guatemala where the bus had free WiFi. I turned on my GPS and could see the road map, and we also made several Skype calls to friends.
We prayed for uneventful travels and border crossings and we were blessed by both and the added bonus of traveling on the front row of the double-decker bus. Thank you Lord.
