A long journey home

After a long five weeks in Costa Rica we were all ready to come home and see our loved ones.  We were also excited because we would be back right in time for the holiday.  Well, while we waited for two hours to check in our bags at the San Jose airport we discovered that our plane wasn't going to leave until three in the afternoon! We were originally supposed to leave at ten that morning!

We finally left at three and then arrived in Texas at 9:30 p.m.  We had to stay the night at the airport on cots! Which we very uncomfortable.  We were finally able to check in our bags at 4:30 in the morning on the fourth and left for Nebraska at ten that morning.  We were all so happy to be in good ol' Nebraska when we arrive to Omaha that afternoon.

Overall, the trip was absolutely wonderful and I learned more than I would be able to just by taking classes in the States.  The trip back home was horrible and I thought that we would never get back home.  But now I am missing Costa Rica.  I missing the food, the weather, everything.  I can't wait until I have the opprotunity to go again!

Hola,

SO tell me... what was the best part of Costa Rica? The nature all looks so beautiful! Learning Spanish there must have been such an experience! I imagine great food, pretty beaches, new and exciting plants and animals and crazy insects! Anything else?
