Today we finally reached Costa Rica. Our adventure began on Saturday with a 3 hour drive to Chicago. Planning to fly out Saturday afternoon, the airlines decided to change our plans. We arrived at the ticket counter to find that our flight had been cancelled. Note not just delayed. It was cancelled. The Gentleman behind the counter said, I can get you out on Thursday but there is nothing before then. At that point really wasn't to fond of this guy. I asked him to help us rebook on other airlines. He gave me a phone number for the airline. He said they probably won't take your call, but you should get through by Monday. WHAT!?!?!?!? I called thinking whatever. The message told us Sorry due to the volume of calls at this time we can not take your call. Please call back later. Click. So here we sit. We found a spot to lay/sit on the floor. After talking with EVERY airline by phone and in person we came up with nothing, even considering driving to Miami to catch a flight. 6 hours later still sitting on the in the airport, we found a great lady at Contenential Airlines. She found tickets for us to depart on Sunday for $1400 each. They were refundable within 24 hours. We booked them. Then we decided enough of this airport. Headed to TGI Fridays for dinner, after not eating yet that day. We found another flight on Mexicana that would leave on Monday but MUCH cheaper. We booked it and finally felt relief of knowing we had a flight. So 3 Hotels and 3 days later and 3 Hours of sleep on Sunday night we finally arrived in Costa Rica. Here are some pictures of our 1st day.
The TiTi Monkeys were up close and friendly.
The Pool was refreshing and fun.
Our flight from San Jose to Quepos was great this morning @ 6:00 AM. 3 Hours of sleep last night and off to airport. This is a field of Palm Trees.
Here is the Marina in Manuel Antonio.
The Pacific Ocean.
We talked with the boys over Skype today. It was great to see them. They are doing so good. We miss them like crazy, but are so thankful for our awesome friends that are taking care of them. Give the boys lots of kisses.
We love you guys. Be home in a week.
All our love,
Rick & Mandi
