We finally made it to Costa Rica!  It was a long sleepless flight, but were finally at our destination.  So far my first impression (which is based on traveling from the airport to the Hostel Pangea) and memorable moments are

  • Drinking at LAX airport.  Taking a drink everytime you hear Roxanne in the song Roxanne.
  • The drive over reminded me of a mix of philippines and Mexico
  • The taxi and shuttle drivers aren´t as aggressive as mexico
  • The Ticas are pleasant to the eye
  • Walking into my first Hostel reminded me of the movie Hostel
  • Finally this damn keyboard that i´m typing on.  The arrangement is quite interesting, no symbols, shift keys, enter keys, backspace, where you expect it.  I´ll have to take a picture of it.  Here are some of the native keys `+´ç¬º

My first post on a crappy keyboard.  It´s making it quite difficult.  The good news is that Gibbs has his laptop, and Sanjeev has his camera.  So hopefully once we get that online i´ll be able to upload some visual aids.  Till the next post.

Over the weekend someone told me, it´s not about the desitnation it´s about the journey.  So let the journey begin...
