Pics: Saying goodbye as we leave the house early in the morning.
NJ airport: All bundled up and coming off our withdrawal of no cell phones for 2 months.
We locked up the house this morning at 5:40am, slid the key under the door, and headed out. In downtown Quepos, we stop for coffee and pastries and just as we were heading outside the town limits, Megan realizes that she left her coat and scarf in the house! OH, but we locked the house and slid the key under the door. We decide there is a way. We drive back to the house and can see the key. Megan grabs a small stick and manages to slide the key back underneath the door. Shazaam! We're in! We head back out, only a few minutes behind schedule. It was a cool morning with hardly no humidity so we cruised to San Jose with the windows down, breathing in ever last bit of Costa Rica we could get, sad to be leaving. We make it to the airport by 9:15, I drop the girls off with all the luggage (which filled the entire trunk and the front seat and floorboard) and I take the car back to the rental agency. Back at the airport, we begin to check in and realize that one of our bags is 4.5lbs. overweight. So out comes the gallon jug of Lizano sauce that we were bringing home (the ticket agent will be eating good with that for months) and we head through security with no problems. At the food court in the airport, Chastity and I meet a family of 3 (father, mother and their college son) from Alabama. When they learn that we've been in Costa Rica for 9 weeks they want to know more. We were able to give a nice witness to them about our purpose their to preach.
We had a great flight home, landing in Newark at 7:30pm. We are pleasantly surprised by 60 degree weather and no snow on the ground. We finally get our shuttle to our hotel (priceline special....man I love that website!) at the Hilton next to the airport, eat a quick dinner at the hotel and reminisce about our stay in Costa Rica. By 9:30, we are in our room resting. Whew....what a long day! Tomorrow we pick up our car and make our way back home.
