kickin the tires

Ok, so I am kicking the tires on the Website, it has been a while since I was on here.. unfortunately its been busy, and another one of my blogs has gotten more attention.. NO BUENO..

Well, things are at a stall on the website going public.. Hopefully soon... Temp on HOLD!

Whew

its been a while since I updated. I think the realization that the planning, and trip are over. Its like a hangover right now. I really enjoyed Jaco. I was a little aprehensive at first due to the fact that the reviews of Jaco are up and down. I really enjoyed the trip. There were a few hiccups here and there, nothing work noting. We did loose a Nintendo DS that may have been stolen. Correction, I do believe it was stolen out of our room.

Jaco offered an amazing array of food and culture. There were the standard shops selling the same souvenirs but nothing exceptional.

The people were friendly. We did some excursions. The trip to Tortuga didn't happen b/c of the waves, however, Jaco360 didn't leave us hanging. We were able to go to a resort where we ziplined, and hung out on the beach. Unfortunately we did suffer a few injuries as Brett and Anna both were dashed upon the rocks. (Photos to come!).

We didn't get to surf, which was a bummer, but most of the time it was red flagged on the beach due to rain, and wind.

More to come!

I had to share.......

This song is so appropriate for the trip!

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.
