Chillin’ at the airport

SJO airport that is! Terry and I landed about 9:15 a.m. local time and were pretty hungry. TACA gave us a breakfast of a cheese hot pocket, cookies, fruit cup, juice, tea but we didn’t bother eating dinner last night. We got off the plane and headed to the food court, walked up to Church’s Fried Chicken, and ordered a $3 breakfast of gallo pinto and tortillas. Mmmmmmmmmm!
Terry took off to hit duty-free liquor and get our bags. I’m hanging out in the terminal waiting for Shirley, my matron of honor, to arrive. Her flight is almost three hours later but hey, there is free wireless all over the place here. So Terry is with the bags probably on his laptop, I’m in the terminal with mine.
When her plane lands in less than an hour we will go through immigration, get her bags, meet Terry, and the three of us will walk through customs together and then a cab.
Note, on your immigration form you will be asked for your address while in country. Write down CASA VIVA – PUNTA UVA.
For now I am trying not to fall asleep and sitting by the window. Did I mention that Terry and I have hardly slept this weekend? Leaving the house at five this morning was HARD! Here are some pics of what is going on in the world behind me.
See you all soon!
Update: Here is a pic of her plane coming in. It turns out that she is pretty darned tired too. The three of us need sleep.
It took a while to clear immigration because of the line. However when we went to get the bags they were already pulled off the conveyer belt and put to the side. The three of us hopped in a taxi for $24 and made it to the hotel by 1400. It is a funny little place but will do well. Now it is nap time, they are already out. I’m next
