Costa Rica!!!

Hola!! We are now blogging from Costa Rica!!! Yesterday we got up at 3:00a.m. to begin our travels. Our flight was supposed to leave at 6:00a.m., but after a delay for deicing, a delay for hydraulics problem, a delay by the airport to clear the runway of a dusting of snow, we were finally on our way an hour and a half after our origial take off. Yes, this meant we missed our connection in Atlanta for Costa Rica. There are 18 of us traveling together and unfortunately Delta could not get us all on another flight to Costa Rica. Several of us went on 3 different flights to Miami to catch a later flight to Costa Rica. Unfortunately Pete, Laurie, and the kids had to stay in Atlanta until today since Delta told us that the later flight to Costa Rica was full. Sad to say what actually happened was that Delta triple book several of us on the later Costa Rica flight which made it look full, but in reality there were several seats open. The Curriers could have joined us . . . errrr. However, they did make it here today.

This morning Tom and I slept in and enjoyed some time by the pool. We talked to a tour guide and figured out the tours we would like to do later this week. I think we may be going on a river cruise tomorrow where we can feed monkeys and see some crocodiles. On Monday we are going deep sea fishing with Tom´s dad and Pete´s dad. Later in the week we plan on doing a horseback riding/zip lining/thermal mud bath tour. I think we will also try to do an ATV tour. The hotel is very nice and weather perfect. Looking forward to a great week. Hope to upload some pictures later, but there is no WIFI in the room and we are using the community computer for now. Buenos Noches!!
