Guatemala
We had to get out of the confinements of our four walls, so our pandemic trip (yes, you heard that right) was Antigua, Guatemala and, oh, was it a sight to behold. Take a look for yourself:

what did we do
DAY 1:
RDU > MIA > GUA
We chose Antigua as our destination and we did not regret it. This is one of my top favorite adventures.
We flew from RDU > MIA > GUA, flying out at 7am EST and landing at 11am CST. Total trip time: ~5 hours.
We arranged for Casa Santo Domingo to pick us up from the hotel and drive us back to the hotel which was a seamless process.
