Seems Tim here has the right idea.. http://www.therealcostarica.com/
Oh yea.. 7 DAYS!!!

Flicker, or shutterfly

Hey folks, we'll be putting up a Flicker Account or Shutterfly for the trip. This will allow anyone to check out our trip. I am going to let Dori take that one! 9 days till we leave!!!

Here a few more to wet our whistle!!




Mono titi's at play!




Jesus Christos lizard.. He can run on water b/c he is so light..

Costa Rica

So, I have a few books on Costa Rica, "Frommers," "The New Key to Costa Rica," "Lets go to Costa Rica on a Budget." All of these books are an excellent resource for gaining further knowledge on Costa Rica. I recommend that!

Realizing

So I know I should be working right now. It seems I have checked out on vacation via the mind. I am ready to go to Costa Rica now!! If I could swing the time off I would leave the monday prior by myself and go down and chill on the beach. I checked in staying for an extra two days and it is only a $180.00 change fee. Not too shabby however, I think our condo is $150 a night, so a combine total of $330.00 for two more days of paradise. Hmmm. Weighing those options.
So in good news my company wants me to buy many mini packets of coffee to hand out to potential clients. I think this will make a very strong impression on our people. I think it will be something that will make a positive connotation.
We have lost one person for the trip. Ellen's grandmother is not doing well, so we will be thinking about her down there.
I am hoping to update the blog while down there, however, please forgive me if I don't. I am planning on being a beach bum. I might grow the ole beard out! Who knows, after a night of a few beers, I might own a beach bar by the time all is said and done. I wish I could convince my dad to open one with me down there! How much fun would that be.
Gringos! that is the name of the bar. Already got that set up.

Hope everyone has a good day. I am sick of the cold.

In the distance??

what is that sound?? hmm. Train? Nope.. Marta? Nope.. VACATION.. Hell yes!! It coming our "research" mission to Costa Rica. Should be loads of fun.. I mean.. WORK.. yes.. No fun, just work while we are there. Meeting with folks.. :)
Its cold, predicted to snow AGAIN here in Atlanta (ya know.. THE DEEP SOUTH??). Weird stuff going on. I want to smack Al Gore in the nose and yell "HEY AL, GLOBAL WARMING??" Has anyone notice he has been really quiet lately??

On another note.. I encourage everyone to click on the last few links I put up (read the previous post ding dongs!) and buy from all of the links.

3 weeks

Getting close. I am excited, I know the group is ready to go too. The weather down there is so much better than here in the South. While it is not something that happens regularly we are suppose to get 1-2 inches of snow. Which is weird for us. Mobile Alabama is suppose to get 4-7 inches (thats what SHE said, couldn't pass that one up!).

I am hoping the trip turns out great. The group that is going is a great group. None of us are "huge partiers" so it should be relaxing while entertaining at the same time.

We have one more spot open. If we get that last one filled we will have the price for the room to about $200. Which, by this economy is amazing.
