I did not really want to do this - my seven month old baby, wife, and myself had been going for nearly 22 hours since we began traveling from the Dominican Republic. One driver said $15 for both my wife and I, I said no, we will only pay $5 each to Antigua or take the bus into Guatemala City for one quetzale and transfer to a local bus for half the price that I was offering the minibus drivers to take me to Antigua. I continued arguing, laughing, smiling, and ribbing my way down to a good price - my price. The drivers laughed and told me that the price was now more than double the amount that I was offering.

Chaya and I said that we would pay 40 Quetzales ($5) for the ride from the Guatemala City airport to Antigua - this was the price the last time I was here.
