Volcanoes and burning devils in Guatemala
"Where exactly do they burn Satan?" I ask my guide. "Just here," he says, gesticulating to a large cobblestone area around a dry fountain, worryingly close to the tiny petrol station at Barrio de la Concepción.

Travel Agent Diaries
And with that, the 2015 Travel Agent Diaries are a wrap, but what about 2016?
 Can we possibly be starting the 8th year of the Travel Agent Diary series? Wow! Seven years ago, Richard Earls and I were discussing how beneficial it would be if agents could share some of the small things that really work for them in running their business. We took a chance and wondered if they'd ever share the things that didn't. And they did! It was a unique proposition and one that probably should have failed; but, back in 2009 we found five brave souls who were willing to take a a risk and lay it all on the line. Apparently the concept worked. Over the years, we have seen online agents, agents who specialize, generalists, home based agents, employees, agents who are very close to being…
