In Search Of Our Final Destination, Province No. 1
Esterillas Este - Northern Puntarenas Province No. 1 Province No. 2 Province No. 3 Province No. 4 Even after fourteen visits within two years of traveling back and forth from the States to Costa Rica, we still had no idea where we could picture ourselves living long term. For that reason, we chose to rent homes via AirBnB for the first several months in different provinces throughout Costa Rica. We knew that if we could live in a certain area for a month or more, we’d get a feel of what the town had to offer, as...
Persistence, Patience & License Plates
FENDER BENDERS IN PARADISE After two years of planning our move, we truly thought we had every little thing nailed down from bills put on auto-pay (as we still have a business that runs in Texas) to making sure our first three to four months of air bnbs were rented and confirmed, not to mention all the other little details in between. Once we arrived in Costa Rica after the freshness sunk in that we were actually staying and not just on vacation, we had some responsibilities that we had to take care of in order for us to be vehicle...
First Five Months in Costa Rica - Expat Living
As I sit here and watch and listen to the green parrots, black birds and white throated magpie jays amongst many other different types of birds communicating while wood peckers peck away at the trees and howler monkeys howl in the distance, overlooking the Pacific Ocean from my back patio, I realize how fortunate I am that we were able to make our dreams become reality. For the past five months we have made Costa Rica our home. The past five months has been the best time of my life. The days have gone by fast, the weeks and months...
The Dance
For B.J. I noticed you in sixth grade and kept my eye on you all year. I admit, I was the geeky sixth grader with short hair to my ears with bangs and braces that you could see from miles away. You probably did notice me, but not for the right reasons. I would be the odd duck trying to get a glimpse of you before you walked into your class before hurrying off to my own. Lucky for me, we had the same circle of friends and had been invited to a back to school dance. I remember it...
The Calm Before The Puppy Trouble
We ended up staying in Tamarindo for four nights before having to continue on to our final destination for the month in Esterillos Este. We had such a good time together, drinking hotel specials and chili guaro shots, relaxing, not having to worry about border crossings or any of the odd stuff that we did while driving through the numerous countries. Not a worry was on our minds. While we were in Tamarindo, the day before heading to Esterillos, a young lady had called me from San Jose United Cargo. She was very friendly and told me everything that I...
