Up in the Air

Texas...gotta love inflight wifi.  

That plane was much bigger in person.  

Well, all in all it's been a great day. Got some Starbucks and a carnitas taco in Dallas. Tomorrow it's back to the old grind, but not for long.  Summer is just around the corner!! I've decided that we are going to get Rosetta Stone and keep practicing Spanish over the summer... My Costa Rican treats made it through customs too!! Woohoo!!!   Couple more hours to go. And then it's home sweet home. Aaahhhhhh

Truth be told...

The pilots were excellent!! My previous post was intended to be funny.  Gracie's expression was priceless.  I gave the amigos (my new pilot friends) a big giant California Muchas Gracias when we landed safely.  They were awesome!!!  And it was a very smooth flight. Buenas noches!

The last "Hoot"rah!!!!

So, right by the Marriott there's a fish restaurant, a Mexican restaurant, a Peruvian restaurant, and a ... Hooters.  Everyone felt like eating American food for dinner...so Hooters won.  I got take out from the Peruvian place.  They have awesome sea bass ... had it on the way into town too.  Anyway, meet the Costa Rican Hooters!!!

Seed pod from the Guanacaste Tree - the National Tree of Costa Rica.  It has really beautiful seeds inside.

Getting ready to take off from the beach - on the "pond hopper"...  

We sat right behind the pilots.  Not my first choice next time we fly one of those itty bittys...I was constantly thinking of how I was going to land the plane in the event of a simultaneous loss of consciousness (both pilots losing it).  Good thing they were okay.  Judging from Gracie's expression in the previous pic, I think I have my ground transportation partner for next time.  Woohoo!!!

We made it!

Happy Easter!!  We made it to San Jose.  Easy and fairly smooth flight in the pond hopper.  We are in the much cooler land now.   There are 2 temperatures in Santa Teresa - Hot and Hotter.  Here in San Jose it's a cool 70 something.  We went to the iShop - (Apple Store)...It's across the parking lot from the Courtyard Marriott.  We will be on the 6:30 AM shuttle to the aeropuerto manana.  My Spanish is getting better!  now that we're leaving...   ha.  I'm sure you had a wonderful Easter day!  I'm tasting the Bloody Marys now.  ;o)  (did you have any???)   I tried to text when we got here, but it didn't go through... I don't know why.  Hopefully all of these problems will be resolved when we get to Dallas.  Speaking of Apple products... boy are they worldwide!  Everyone seems to have iphones and ipads...all people speaking all kinds of languages with apple products.  Okay.  I love you al!!!

Sand Land

Happy Easter!!!

Packing it up here!!! Getting on the mini plane at 2:30....  The Easter bunny came to Santa Teresa!! Woohooo

Hasta Luego Santa Teresa

Great last day here.  Built a GIANT "sand country/castle".  I have video...will post manana.  Checked out some new spots on the ATV.  Gracie drove a little (the ATV)... Natalie and I prayed a lot.  ;o)  I think a gecko kicked the bucket in the bathroom...parrots landed in the tree in the backyard and ... well, more monkeys.  Took some sunset shots... Also, my mac mail isn't working well here.  Must be the water.  ;o)  Anyway, I can read messages, but it's really difficult to respond.  I start to type and then it locks up and "kills the pages".  I don't know why.  Hopefully it won't continue once we get home.  Anyway, I love you very very much, and have read your emails.  We will be packing up tomorrow, getting back on the mini plane, and spending the night in San Jose.  I'll talk to you then!  I love you very very much!!!
