So....we drove down to Boston on Friday in order to be able to pop out of bed on Saturday morning and hop on our plane. DadD dropped us off at our hotel and headed to AuntieL and UncleP's place to park our car for a month. UncleP and JB drove DadD back and we were able to have dinner with them on the North End Boston. We filled our bellies and headed back to hit the hay.
Saturday morning at 6am we called the bellman to come grab our bags as we were ready to head to Logan Airport. Just as DadD hung up the phone his we received a call letting us know our flight had been cancelled due to mechanical problems. Our connecting flight out of Charlotte was our only chance for reaching Costa Rica on Saturday with US Air.
MomT was happy not to get onto a broken plane but we also really wanted to start our adventure. So as Fairy1 put it, this blip was an adventure. We worked it out to fly to Providence (in a cab with our cab driver Tong who had only been in the state of RI 2 times in his life). We made it to the airport, had a smooth flight and made our connection in Charlotte.
Just a side note....the Charlotte airport was the most service oriented place we have experienced. We got better service and smiles in the airport restroom than we have gotten in swanky restaurants.
We reached Liberia in Costa Rica on time and as we walked off the plane Fairy2 said she smelled Costa Rica. Customs was easy and the agents were playful with our children. Here is a picture of the fairies waiting on line to officially enter the country. We were seasoned travelers and had warm weather clothes packed in our carry ons.
Our car rental company found us and we headed to get our buggy for the month. As we unloaded our bags MomT noticed DadD had someone elses bag so DadD raced back to switch with bags with Ulga from RI. Fairy1 said DadD's blunder added adventure. Ulga was a good sport and we all had a good laugh afterwards.
We started our trek to Nosara in the light and ended the most windy knuckle clenching part in the dark with Fairy2 reminding us she was hungry every 2 minutes....she is excellent at reminding:) DadD and MomT tried to act as adult like as they could .....but we were all tired after all. Ahhhh the joys of logistic traveling.
When we finally reached Casa Concha (which took a while because there are no real addresses or street names in Nosara) and were welcomed by an awesome Thai curry prepared by the lovely Joanne from Zen Cafe. Thanks Joanne!!!! It was pretty much dinner, some settling in and then bed. We were so grateful to have arrived. Pura Vida!!!
