I love spending money!

Well our VISA is getting a run for it's money... but it is all for the good. I have found a cute little hotel/appartment to stay in for the remainder of October, it's located just 15 minutes north of San Jose - so very easy to get to from the airport. It's a small 2 bedroom place with a kitchen, living room, private bathroom with hot water, and either a balcony or small yard. There is internet service, so we will continue with our blog (thank you for reading by the way!). The town is called Heredia and there are stores near by to shop and buy food. The people at the hotel are very friendly and can help with anything we may need. Tours, transportation, etc. October Accomadations . Heredia is only a 10 or 15 minute drive to the town of Grecia, the cleanest town in latin america. One of the great places that I want to look at homes in. Although it's not near the sea, the prices there are great! I found a wonderful web site Karens Real Estate We have an appointment with her on Monday to look at homes (even I'm surprised at how fast this may be moving, but isin't that the way Chris and I work?). Karen is actually going to interview us for a show called House Hunters International! It's a show on HGTV (one that Chris and I try to watch all the time) They help you find homes in your price range, and help with many of the details! Wish us luck with this, it could be very cool, and who knows, we may be on tv! As for the month of November, we are still looking for a place to stay, no rush... we have time. We are looking in the area of Tambor (if you look at a map of CR, it will be at the south end of the north-west peninsula. Very beautiful (from what we've heard) and quiet. Not touristy, and full of cute little towns and villages. Ah, doesn't that sound like the life???

We have also talked about it, and decided that Belize would make a very nice 'vacation' for Christmas. We talked and talked about it, and were going to go north to Nicaragua, but have decided on Belize. So we are booked at The SeaSpray (if you want to visti!) it seems very nice, beautiful and relaxing actually! 2 minutes from the beach, restaurants, snorkelling, diving, fishing, sitting, etc. It is located in the town of Placencia, one of the places I wanted to stop and look at real estate anyways! Wow, is this trip working out? We will be at the sea-spray for the enitre month of December (Callym wants to know if Santa will surf to our home, and if he'll just bury his presents in the sand under our palm tree?) I'm not sure if we will stay throughout January aswell, but we have time to decide.

As Chris has mentioned, we are working hard, the boys are getting restless..... why oh why do we keep on with the 'matters of consequence'? As the little prince would say 'it's hard to understand Adults, you always need to explain things to them!'

Well, the days go on, and take off for CR is getting closer and closer. Will we be ready..... I wonder. We're ready to go, but our 'stuff' isin't quite there yet. Well, 21 more days. That should be enough..........

btw, just a cute picture of Callym with his new glasses. Enjoy!
