Hello friends and family,
We departed Seattle yesterday, Tuesday Dec. 14th, for our holiday travel adventure in Central America. After pulling an all-nighter getting all of our gift packages ready for family, packing, paying bills, and cleaning the house'- we hopped in a cab at 345am in the morning to catch the first of the three legs of our flight to San Jose, Costa Rica. Despite our weariness from lack of sleep, we were quite excited to start our month long vacation. As luck would have it, Carol and I got to fly first class the whole way. Due to a lucky draw with our Alaska miles we were booked into first class for no extra charge. ....and our conclusion..first class is pretty great. The beverages were flowing on each leg of our flight- tomato juice, orange juice, white wine, diet coke, water, and more. The seats were quite comfortable- lots of leg room and elbow room- multiple reclining positions were also available for our chairs. We arrived in San Jose at 10pm last night and successfully got our bags and were happy to be met by a shuttle driver from the Alajuela Backpackers Hostel. ......and so our adventure begins!
More soon....

Once again, dear traveling Mike & Carol, you will warm up our winter with your Central American adventure!! Glad to hear that you enjoyed the primere clase seating . . . with three legs to the flight, you deserved it!! Carol, you tale reminded me of walking down the hill one Easter morning for Mass to find as many dogs in church as people. .. then following the church crowd into town to discover they were all going to the bakery for Sunday bread and goodies -- which Jean and I thought "WHAT A FIND!" Thanks for bringing back that sweet memory . . . looking forward to following you both. Love to you in the sun, Phyllis
