We've Arrived!

Well, after many long hours we have finally arrived. A couple funny things happened - we landed in Houston with only ten minutes to get from the B terminal to the International terminal. I was freaking out that we were going to miss our connection. So, I am running and dragging Jaxon and pushing old ladies off the moving sidewalk to get to our flight. I muscle my way to the front of the line and arrive at the counter frantic with my hair flying out from my ponytail, bags dragging at 9:13 for a 9:10 flight. I frantically implore in a loud manner, "Is the plane still here?" The well-coiffed, plumped and pampered attendant snubs her nose and me and says, "Of course. We still have an hour before boarding." Duh....can you say Central Time Zone? Oops - forgot about the time change! I had to avert my eyes when the little old ladies that I pushed out of the way moments earlier, plopped down in a huff in the seats beside me.

Second, Jaxon's backpack did not arrive at the airport. Well, that's not really funny, but we are trying not to worry about it. Jaxon has no clothes and I have no make up (I know...I brought make up to the rain forest. Sad, but true.) Guess we will both feel naked if the bag remains lost. So instead of heading on to our destination in the forest today, we are at a quaint, funky little hotel Called Hotel Aranjuez. Costs $37 and includes a great breakfast and some fine coffee! Tomorrow we head to Tirimbina! (Must say thanks to the kind ex-pat and took Jax and I under his wing and helped us get acclimated in our hotel and around San Jose.)

I also successfully Skyped my mom from Jaxon's iPod Touch. That thing is amazing! I have got to get one of those. Why is it that our kids have all the cool gadgets and gear and we don't have squat?

Hasta manana, mis amigos. Buenas noches y que duermas bien!
