Now in GUA at the Radisson Suites. Called the hotel from the airport, and they had a free shuttle van there for me in less than 10 minutes. My room is on the 17th floor - large and very nice, free internet access downstairs. I do not see how you could beat this in Guatemala. Tomorrow I meet my sister here and we fly on together on TACA to MGA. I have reserved Best Western Las Mercedes -conveniently located across from the Managua International Airport - swimming pools, gambling, open-air bar -sounds great!-for 80 dollars plus 15 percent tax.
My problem at the moment is to figure out how to get connected in BOG to Aces and then another Aces without going through customs. We will arrive BOG on Avianca from CCS. We have over 5 hours connection time, but would rather not come out of international area, to avoid customs and departure tax -if there is one. ideas?
Also, still need a hotel in Lima. We will arrive very late, and leave very earlly, so would like to stay close to the airport. Hilton = $250 -too much! Intercontinental - so far away. More ideass? I can check here Sunday morning early.
