My flight was not a joyous one. Typical flight from MN to Atlanta and then a SIX- HOUR layover in Atlanta airport. The flight to Costa Rica boarded on time but then was delayed because one of the plastic panels on one of the EXIT signs had fallen off and they had to find it before they could take off. Apparently some kind soul on the previous flight found it on the floor and put in the overhead bin. Not a real obvious place to look. But they did find it after about 40 minutes. By then we were fifth in line for take off. So we were squeezed into our sardine can for an extra hour or so.
Going through immigration and customs was quick. We filled out some paperwork on the plane so we just had a little line to go through, some quick questions and our luggage was scanned. They talk too fast for me, so I had to do it in English.
The Hotel is GORGEOUS, from what I could tell in the dark. My room is very comfy. Five days here for $405.00 taxes and fees included. This room would be $150-175 a NIGHT in USA or about $900-$1000 for the 5 days with taxes and fees. The clerk at check-in was very nice. She let me mix up my Spanish and English.
Today we are going to a town called Turialba to pitch the idea of a Student Teaching program at a school there. I guess Sunday was the only day they were available.
Hasta Manana!!
