we survived

so, we survived our 13 days in costa rica.

day 1: (thursday, may 1) our day started out with a call from continental airlines asking us where we were. no, we weren't late for our flight, but our flight was going to be delayed and we were going to miss our connection in houston. they wanted to get us on a flight in 45 minutes. however, we were still at home and would not be able to get there in time.

they did find us a flight on another airline so we would be able to get to costa rica that night.

we had packed all of our stuff for 4 people in one bag, so when we got to the airport and weighed our bag, we were over the baggage weight limit by 10 pounds. we pulled out enough stuff and shoved it in our carry on bags and barely got under the weight limit.

the flights were uneventful, and when we got to costa rica that night, the guy at immigration let us go through a special line so we didn't have to wait in the long line.

we asked the cab driver to take us to a hotel, and he took us to a decent one in the center of alajuela called la guaria.

after getting our bags to our room, we asked the guy at the front desk where we could go to get a drink (not a "drink", but just a drink) so we walked around the town that evening, went and bought some juice and grape fanta at the liquor store, then went back to the hotel to watch pimp my ride and get some sleep.
