Welcome aboard! Hey guys! Hope your drive down to the beach was uneventful (well...as uneventful as it gets down here) and sunny (not dark and rainy!...we think rainy season is OVER!!) Always glad to help, meet others, and see that we're not the only weirdos who are dragging our kids out of their "normal" lives to remote parts of the world where folks dare to live their lives without knowing english! (horrors!) Call anytime (our little "mom" is aching to see your boys)...and we'll keep an eye on your blog as your adventure unfolds! Love, the Bortmans
Ahh Frank.. During the racecourse photo your eyes are clearly not on the road.. What gives?? Pay more attention! Take care over there and take some nice scenic/animal pictures for me!
glad you made it safe and sound! Hey guys, Good hearing from you. I'm glad you made it there safe and sound! Sounds like you all are settling in! We had a great thanksgiving here! way too much good food...just now recovering! Take care and talk to you again soon, Kathleen
Welcome! We agree, the Bortmans are great and we're happy to consider them friends. If you need assistance in the San Ramon area ask the Bortmans about us. I hope you have a great time here! Jen
Hi Kristin and all, We survived the earthquake in Hawaii. It really wasn't a big deal. Anyway, I know my brother brings on empty sippy cups and asks the flight attendants for water or juice. Also, on my last flight, they were allowing you to buy beverages at the airport concessions. All the best to you all.
Good Luck! Great idea! I look forward to visiting the site to read about
your adventures. We flew recently (but not internationally),
and all we had to do was to tell the security attendent at the
entrance to the line about the liquids we had for Simon. He
just marked it and we all went through OK.
reason to join and can others see the site sorry to take so long to get back to you. i'm just learning to use this, too! in answer to your questions:
1) i don't think there is a reason you need to join, unless you want to set up a site yourself. if i discover another benefit to joining as i continue on this learning path, i'll let you know.
2) yep. anyone can see the site, but i don't think too many people will be interested except those who specifically search for our names (or possibly the place we are visiting -- not sure if that is possible). but good to keep in mind that this info is essentially public.
cheers,
k
Just "Checking In" Just adding a comment to see if I will be notified in my regular email. Also to ask a question from Kristin or Frank, if they see this: Can anyone get into your blog, totally unrelated to you or your family?
Got this one too. Your name appears under Marcus' picture....however, as your Mom, it could well have been a picture of you as you were want to put bowls on your head too.
Welcome, family and friends, to Costa Rica through the eyes of the Alexanders! We are seeking to use this space to keep in touch with you, keep some records, inform, and hopefully entertain a little. You can ask questions about anything we write about, so we hope you will travel with us, in a 21st century-cyberspace-kinda-way! Ready or not, here we go....
