Off to Costa Rica

A month or so ago, Camille sent me an email with cheap flights to Central and South America. Having been back in the country for about two months at that point I was clearly feeling stagnant, and dying for another stamp on my passport. So without much hesitation, I called Smith and asked if he's like to join me on this mini-adventure. Unfortunately, he has entered the life of a young professional, and he told me he wouldn't be able to accompany me.

So as Smith started his first day of work today, I just finished packing my bags, and am headed to South Station to hop on the Chinatown bus to NYC where I'll rage all night and head to JFK Airport at 5AM for my 7:50 flight to Dallas, Texas. I'll then sit around there for 6 hours until boarding my connecting flight from Texas to San Jose, Costa Rica where a man named Fernando will be picking me up in a green mini-van and taking me to a hostel.

That's about all I have planned for now. Future plans may or may not include surfing, exploring of rain forests, active volcanoes, coffee picking (similar to rice picking I believe), horseback riding, and of course sampling the local cuisine and imbibing upon the countries finest brews. (not coffee)

Adios,
Josh
