See, it's not just me! I'm glad you're back blogging again, too! And see, I'm not the only mom that worries!! :) Tell Andrew I said hi when you find him alone in Bankok! Keep up the blogs, they let us all see the world through your eyes. I still say there's a nice job waiting for you at Nat Geo doing travel stories, but hey, I'm just the mom. ;-) Have a great trip! Love you!!!
Hope you love it as much as we do... So happy for you! I sent you a text message a few hours ago, but now realize it was moot. Enjoy your trip to the other side of the world--nothing but wonderment and magic awaits you.

Nature in it's full expession... My travel to Costa Rica Even before getting on the plane, I couldn’t control my excitement. I had heard so many wonderful things about the Costa Rican beaches and their particular nature. That is why I had decided to visit both coasts, Pacific and Caribbean during my vacation.
For 15 days I traveled trouble free on public transport throughout Costa Rica’s coastline, getting to know a variety of fascinating beaches. Each one having a particular type of sand and vegetation.
The Caribbean Sea is unique and this particular coastline is home to a vivid afro Jamaican culture. The colors and the smells are unforgettable, where the natural beauty of the area can only be compared with the flavors of their cuisine, unique in the country both original and delicious. From the coconut flavored “rice and beans” platter to the Caribbean “patty” dumplings.
The Pacific is also a very diverse area. You can find all different kinds of beaches where the vegetation grows right up to the coast. For example, in Manuel Antonio National Park, the tree branches from the rain forest provide shelter from the sun as you sit on the sand, the only thing one has to worry about are the whiteface monkeys that like to eat your food. These adorable and friendly natives tend to befriend tourists while their friends sneak behind you and take your snacks; it’s quite funny actually.
There is so much to see in Costa Rican beaches. It is very different from anything I have ever seen, and I am eager to see more of Costa Rica. My next trip will probably be focused on volcanoes, rainforests and bird watching, if I get the chance!
How jealous am I? Your vacation stories were fantastic and the pictures were all so beautiful!! And on top of that, you and Wes both look so happy and so in love. So, yeah, pretty much... i'm incredibly jealous and incredibly happy for you.
Smiles Wes looks so nice with a smile on his face!! :) And you look so relaxed and tan and happy - I'm envious!! Please send me the pic of you in the hammock.
Coati Pets They really weren't as cute in person - more like giant racoon rodent things. And one tore open the leg of Portland kid while trying to get the banana in his hand. None for me thanks!
