Left RVA airport at 6 pm, flew to Charlotte, then Miami, arrving at 1 am Sunday. shuttle took us to DaysInn. it was okay for $99, run down, but clean.

Sunday

Got up around 7, breakfast ata cuban restaurant, cherizo omelet, very good. landed Tamarindo just before noon. out of curiosity, asked what the exchange rate was at the airport, 475 (vs. going rate of 560). not a very good deal at all. got to the hotel, went down to longboard to meet beth, victoria, and allen. went to sharky’s, next door later, with chris, steve, and allen.

Monday

Went to the beach, ate dinner at little lucha, fantastic tacos at $3 each carnitas and shrimp were excellent, fried fish not so much.

Tuesday

Fishing with pam, steve, chris, victoria. we caught 24 mahi mahi, saw lots of dolphins, couple of whales. good day, but looong. almost swamped pongo on beach. ate the fish at nogui’s later that night. fantastic.

Wednesday

Sunset cruise on the antares, great time, met several people, including Clinton and Dresden from Shawnee.

Thursday

River cruise on the Tempisque River, saw lots of wildlife, herons, howler monkeys, crocs. at at sharkeys, wings, and sliders.

Friday

Hung out inside, too many steps to go down to pool. ate at dragonfly that night, very good. I had the seafood linguine, kk had the baked chicken dish, and she liked it really well,, too.

Saturday

Left for the airport at 9, got there about an hour later. left cpap machine on curb, guy behind me grabbed and i didn’t realize it until we got off the shuffle. went inside the airport to see if anyone found it. police viewed camera recordings and saw that the guy on the shuttle had it and got off with it. went back to payngo, and they had found it in the parking lot.
