Bienvenido a Costa Rica!

So, this day has been crazy.

We flew out from Dallas incredibly early. Since I had never gone through security, I pulled stuff out of my carry ons I didn't need to and looked like a big goof. We get on board, and even though it was a really short flight to Houston, I felt like I was in a little box for 50 minutes.

We arrived in Houston and met with the rest of the group. This flight was a little more bumpy. I thought since I'm a legit pilot, I was going to have to take over. But they got their act together. And then....... 3 1/2 hours later.... we were in San Jose, Costa Rica!!

It was oober hot in the airport and walking around with all those bags was less than fun. But we got through slowly but surely, got on a taxi and made it to the hotel, Casa Alegre.

We went to eat at this bar/restaurant. I got some legit Costa Rican food, it was pretty good minus a few things. Tomorrow we get to lay by the pool in the morning, and hopefully go to our homestays by tomorrow afternoon.

Please please please pray that we can go to our home stays tomorrow! Also, for safe travels and opportunities to share Jesus!!

I love you guys.

January 30 - FloMo

Hey friends.

So if you love me, you should read my blog while I am in Costa Rica. Let me give you a few reasons:

A - Because you love me, duh.
B - It'll make me feel like I'm not writing in vain.
C - It may be comical on occasion, but no promises.

SO, I'm at Kristen's house. She is packing slower than molasses. We leave from DFW at 8:30 tomorrow morning. I'll be in Costa Rica in 18 hours!! It's insane right? I know.

Well I love you all... probably. Send me Skype usernames please! I will have my phone but it's not as cheap as good ol' USA, so don't get crazy. I receive text messages for free, so feel free to do that whenever you wish, and I'll respond when I'm feeling like splurging 50 cents.
