Walking home from the beach on our first day with our freshly picked starfruit.
So getting to Costa Rica via our first class flight was easy. Once we arrived in San Jose, the hard part started. Our flight was scheduled to arrive at about 10:30 p.m. Of course we were about 45 minutes late. Then customs, baggage claim and car rental. We had flown in with Lance and Jenny Hellewell. We were going to both pick up our separate cars and follow each other to the condo. But when we went to pick up the cars, their car was ready and waiting but no car for us. We decided to all cram in to the Hellewells car. And that wouldn't have been a big deal but for the fact that we had 3 extra BIG bags we were bringing in for the Baileys. The car was packed and full with 2 more bags still to fit in! Thanks to the resourcefulness of the car rental guys, we tied the last 2 on top of the car with an extension cord and we were on our way! That only took about an hour.

By this time it was well past midnight. At this point we had to follow Alan's directions to the condo. Normally the drive takes an hour and a half. But due to the fact that it was dark, the directions were pretty sketchy (not Alan's fault really---it's just how the country is as far as street signs) and we were doing our best to obey the speed limit, I think we got there about 2+ hours later. By the time we got to the condo and in to bed I believe it was close to 3 a.m.! It was one loooonnnng travel day!
