We made it to Costa Rica!

Preparing to leave for a month is harder than we imagined! Our jouney began with a 10:00 am flight out of Phoenix. Saying goodbye to the boys was really tough, but we know that they'll be well taken care of.


We had a 2 hour flight to Dallas, a 2 hour layover, and then a 3 1/2 hour flight to Costa Rica. Everything went very smoothly. We were excited to see the landscape as we flew in, but at 7:00 at night it was already pitch black! I guess the sun sets about 5:30 here. We felt very well taken care of because there were people waiting for us at each point along the way with my name on a sign. We even got to go through customs first (one of the few perks of being in a wheelchair). The people from ICM (Institute for Cellular Medicine) were there to load us and our luggage (8 bags-a month is a long time :) ) and take us to our hotel. When we came into the room we were greeted with a beautiful flower/fruit arangement on the table. Take a look.


The room is nice, but I can't fit through the bathroom door in my wheelchair! Luckily I brought Scott along and thank goodness he's strong! They are going to look into getting us a new room tomorrow. That's all for now. We are so excited to be here!
