States Trip 2015

We’ve got SPIRIT, yes we do, we’ve saved money, how about you?
Well, we did it. We flew Spirit airlines, for the first time ever. And we survived. There are a lot of negative posts out there about Spirit, and yes – I perused them all months ahead of our scheduled trip. And they definitely made me hesitate. I was ready to forget about Spirit and go […]

Dancing!
Greg and I do not dance… at all. But we were told about this dancing place by a couple of people, and definitely wanted to check it out (or at least I did) – just to people watch and have a good time. So, we went on Sunday with our friends Beverly & Ed. What […]

As Eye See It
My dad always told me “once you get to be over 40, you’ll need glasses”. In my 20-something invincibility I was like – right, Dad, whatever. I’d always had 20/20 vision, and was really proud of it (I was one of those rare beings that was born with perfect eyes that would last a lifetime). […]

Cachí Trip Part I – Visit to The Mike’s
We just got back from an incredible 3-day trip to Cachí, Costa Rica. Cachí is part of the Orosi Valley and is close to Cartago (which used to be the capital of Costa Rica), and is on the southeastern side of San José. I feel like I say this a lot, but it’s true – […]

Paper Towel Origami
So…. you’re having dinner guests over in an hour, and you discover that you don’t have any napkins in the house! Horror of horrors. But wait – you DO have paper towels. Well, this happens a lot to me here in Costa Rica because we just don’t buy napkins. Paper towel is fine for all […]

Grecia to Alajuela Bus Trip
This bus trip is SOOO easy, I feel almost foolish that I haven’t done it before! I tagged along with my pal Debbie (who is also car-less and knows the bus system well). Purpose for our trip? Well, to go to Pequeño Mundo, of course! Pequeño Mundo is a like a dollar store on steroids. […]

Greg Seymour, AUTHOR
Well, since I can’t really write a review on Amazon for my hubby’s book, that would look kinda weird (and subjective)… I’ll do a blog post instead! Greg is now an author, and I couldn’t be prouder of him. When he first came up with the idea to write a guidebook on tips for […]
