My wonderful Guatemalan friend Jorge made the call to the Hotel Colonial and so we are all set with our reservations for tomorrow night....cutting it a bit close I know. Sounds like a very charming place. We'll be able to provide Team Shea with Dominican pesos ahead of time which will allow her to pay for the taxi from the airport (we've been assured it is very safe). I should mention that in order to keep the trip as affordable as possible, Team Shea (Shea plus Mikey, Daniel and Derek) are travelling on the no-frills Spirit Airlines and are arriving in Santiago at 2 am! We managed to snag all the remaining cheap seats for them and so Allan and I ended up on American Airlines arriving at the more civilized hour of 8:20 pm.
The rooms sleep 3 and are roughly $40 Cdn each which includes breakfast for 2 people. We'll just have to add breakfast in the morning for the two extra people.

Here's someone else's impression of the place. Sounds very nice to me.
