We did some shopping!

We have been out and about a lot today!! Gerald said that the best thing about losing our luggage is that it forced us to tour Guatemala City! We went to the mall this afternoon. We got some undergarments, socks, a new outfit for Gilli and I got a shirt! Oh, and I bought some makeup!! Continental is giving us $100 for today and if they are still not here by 4:00 tomorrow, we will get another $100. Do you think they would buy us a stroller too, or at least a carrier? ;)

I'm so glad to see you made it safely! Gilli looks so cute-- and happy! Hoping you get that luggage soon - have a great trip!

Cool! Where did you shop? It's a shame you spent so much time and care picking out your bottle warmer...and it's not there. (Sorry to remind you). Anyway, I want to hear more about the shopping!!! Details galore, por favor. How's the Marriot?

Someone told me that the Marriott has strollers. Have you heard anything about that? It's worth a try at least.

That picture of Gillian is breathtaking!!! I could just kiss those cheeks!

Hugs,

The shirt is perfect for Gilli. Sounds like fun, shopping in Guate.

So glad you were able to find some basic items to hold you over. And Gillian looks adorable in her little outfit. Nice that the airlines is at least giving you some compensation. I saw someone else posted too, but you can rent strollers at the Marriott. I think I had already told you but we rented one on our visit trip with Beckett. Looking forward to more picture updates soon.

Love,

So sorry they haven't located your luggage yet. Gillian is just adorable! What a smile!! Enjoy the rest of your trip (with very well worn clothes). I'm sure the people at the Embassy won't even notice the jeans.
I'll say a special little prayer for the stuff ;)
