The trip started as an adventure. Tim, Catrina, Michael, Anthony, and I decided to go out on Friday night (shock) and we all powered through except Timmy who went to bed so he could drive us to the airport.
Flight from DC - Philly was delayed 2 hours (walkway thing had a flat and couldn't pull to the plane)
They told us we missed our connection and would have to wait until today to get the 9:45 flight to Costa Rica. Fortunately our connection was delayed and like the movies, I ran like wild and got to the gate just in time for them to hold it for us! We made the flight yesterday, but our luggage did not. I tried to borrow clothes from Anthony, who was on a different flight, but a pair of shorts for each thigh wasn't working out so well.
Needless to say, in our travel sweats and t-shirts we didn't go out and explore the nightlife. We sat at the bar and drank a gagillion beers and vodkas AND had dinner. Total Bill $83 US for seven people. Friends - this is fantastic and this is at a 5 star hotel bar too. We finished the night in the casino, which was on the 17th floor with amazing night views of the city.
Ms. Carriage is fantastic. She wasn't the one in the pic I've been carrying, but similiar. She's sorta pale yellow green. Hysterical.
We're meeting everyone at 8:30 for breakfast and then driving to the beach. US Air says our luggage will be delivered to us this evening, but they don't electronically track baggage in this country so they said not to bother to call for status because they won't be able to tell us until it is dropped off. We may be going shopping because the four of us can't possibly wear these clothes another day. Thankfully our next hotel is clothing optional at the pool...it is an option. Better than stinky sweaty travel clothes!
Bill and Tom were on our connecting flight and Anthony had his own adventures on his flight, but that's a story for another day!
Hope all is well and hope my DC friends are showing Lisa a good time!
