on the move again {day eight}

Good-bye Tambor … hello Papagayo! I didn’t think Costa Rica could get any more beautiful … but hot-dog, I was wrong!

Papagayo is beautiful … the hotel is discretely set into the landscape and … well … beautiful!

The long drive into the hotel was lined with howler monkeys! Yay! The driver said they are ‘roosters’ in the morning and will wake us up … Huntie can’t wait.

We took off {and came in last week} on this small little runway. The airport consists of a short runway and a bench with a tin cover for shade. Oh! and a small parking lot. I remember when we were coming in for the landing, Curt’s looking around asking me if I see an airport. I happened to spot a runway … far cry from an airport though! And pointed it out to him. The fact that he didn’t spot it was shocking and telling.

I was sitting next to Hunter {her against the window} and was telling her we were landing. We were above water and as the plane got lower and lower, I could see the confusion and wonder in her eyes … “seriously? we’re going to land in the water?”

Just as I thought it’d be a beach landing, we hit pavement and landed. Anyway … the same freakiness today with our takeoff. We did a short runway takeoff … basically where the brakes are on, but we go up to full power … so when they take the brakes off we take. off.!!

So there we go, screaming down the runway towards the water and at the last final moment, we take off. I have some photos of the day and some I took from the plane here.

Crabby Wynter made an appearance again today. Here she is on the plane. She was dying of thirst. She finally came to with a can of club soda {for the record, that’s the ‘soda’ they usually get}. And okay, I’ll get over the ‘soda guilties’ already!

We finally made it to the hotel. Got settled in. The girls had a little swim in our plunge pool. Worked up an appetite and …

    Thanks for another great post. Where else could anybody get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.

    When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new surveys are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I am four emails using the same comment. Is there however it is possible to eliminate me from that service? Thanks!

    One important issue is that if you are searching for a education loan you may find that you will need a cosigner. There are many situations where this is true because you may find that you do not possess a past credit standing so the mortgage lender will require that you’ve someone cosign the financing for you. Good post.

    Currently it looks like BlogEngine is the best blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
