Guatemala: Where to live near Antigua with kids:

I live in San Pedro Las Huertes and just up the road is a gated community called San Pedro El Alto. El Alto has a community feel and just about every house has a yard with grass (which is rare in the city) once our lease is up here, we plan on looking for a house there. good luck!

Guatemala: Orthodontist, etc.:

We will be moving to San Pedro Las Huertes at the end of September. Thanks to responses from my first post, my husband plans on renting office space at Impact Hub in Antigua to work. He will need to commute via bus daily. Are there monthly bus passes? How does that work? Also, my son needs braces to correct his overbite. He is 10. Is there a good, English speaking orthodontist in Antigua? also, do you file something like that with insurance or just pay out of pocket? friends of friends of ours had braces for their kids when they lived in Peru and they said it was under $1000 total cost for 2 kids!! Speaking of money, in order to pay rent and security deposit, can it be in Us dollars or do we need to have everything in Q before we get there?

Guatemala: coming long term this fall!:

My husband, myself and our kids will be moving to San Pedro Las Huertes this fall. I will be working with missionaries and homeschooling my kids and my husband will keep his job. I don't know any techy stuff, but I am asking for him: We have researched internet and on paper it checks out. The fastest speed we can find is 10 mbps, but he did a test and at his job he pulls an average of 7-8mbps. Is the internet reliable enough to work from home? how quickly will the cable company come out to install internet into your rental home?
