Plan B


My itinerary is always changing—but I think I have at least the next 8 weeks fairly sorted out.
Currently I am in Antigua, I will be here for the weekend, then Tuesday morning I am going to head North to San Marcos (Lake Atitlan) where I will spend one moon cycle (28 days) studying meditation, which will include one week in silence and abstaining from food and eye contact during that time. Should be an incredible consciousness shift. On the 1st of October I am going to head to Flores for 4-5 days—and take in the glorious Mayan architecture (Tikal). To conclude, I will finish where I started—back to Antigua for another night or so.
I will then be flying from Guatemala City to Boston on the 9th of October, where I am meeting my dad in the airport. We are going to spend one-week together exploring Massachusetts and it’s surrounding states (Vermont, Maine, etc.). On the 17th I will part ways with dad and head from Boston to Manhattan, and the final two weeks making my way back down to Jackson, and eventually New Orleans. I will be stopping in the following locations: BostonàManhattanàTeaneck (N.J.)àPhiladelphiaàWashington D.C. àAshvilleàAtlantaàHome! I am going to do the entire trip home using couch surfing and rideshare. My budget is $100 for the two-week journey home, which should be more than enough. Mhm. The goal is to be back in Jackson before Halloween.
And then after that, I am really not sure.
There are numerous options-- I may stay in the South till my brother’s birthday (I cannot remember the last birthday I celebrated with my brother). Then I may either head out to California for the Winter, or up to Boulder (eventually I will live in Boulder, just not sure when), or I could even go back to Mexico, since I am removing it from my current itinerary—and I really want to do the Agama Yoga course in Mazunte, and I really want to visit Chichen Itza. So, maybe I will celebrate the Winter Solstice there? There are options, just not sure which one to take until I get to that point. As for now, I am really enjoying Guatemala—so excited to be here, the next 6 weeks are going to be life changing—I can sense it!

Blessings.
