Tomorrow the journey begins! I leave Fort Lauderdale in the morning & after a couple of hours in flight, I'll be living the "pura vida". The 5 hour public bus ride from San Jose to Playa Samara should be  interesting. If all goes as planned I will be in my new residence by bedtime tomorrow night. 

I will be staying in a shared house called "Casa Generina" with 2 roommates from who-knows-where. One is male & the other female. Hopefully stranger-danger will not apply. : ) My house is a 2 minute walk from the beach & directly across the street from the school.

The town of Playa Samara is small but has plenty of outdoorsy activities. They have surfing, horseback riding, zip lining, scuba diving, bar hopping, etc... Something I'm most looking forward to is NO FAST FOOD! I can't wait to eat fresh fruit smoothies & traditional Costa Rican food! 

Wish me well...adios amigos!
