Building A Following...

I set up a Facebook account which you can find at Facebook.com under the name "Costa Rica Calling". This is open for any discussion about Costa Rica, whether about vacationing there, moving there, or about the history or anything else I can come up with while discovering the country. You can follow there, here, or follow "stevelaubly" on Twitter. Showing over 600 following as of now!

Wow...Best rates flying from LAX to Costa Rica...

I guess it's a good time to fly...$610.84 TOTAL for TWO!! From LAX to SJO, Costa Rica. I have paid as much as $850 for one person for the same flight!!

Finally the countdown...

Bernie and I are leaving in August for San Jose, Costa Rica. I have an acquaintance at Lake Arenal who will be picking us up at the airport and helping us find a place to stay. I don't know for sure what we will do to earn a living yet. We have to get there first and "take the temperature" business-wise before choosing a route. We are really going on a "Wing and a Prayer"...But we need to get to a place where we aren't totally stressed out all the time, and where we can live on fresh natural food. We have become way too toxic from the food here in the US, we are way too stressed out, too taxed, to controlled, and just sick of what has happened to the country I have grown up in and enjoyed for the past 60 years. We both turned 60 this year, and are starting to realize that without health all the wealth in the world means nothing....While with great health, anything is possible. We are trading everything in on the health equation.

Happiest Place On Earth...

LAST 4TH OF JULY HERE...

Lots of planning and packing. Two 50-pound suitcases and a carry-on.
Not a whole heck of a lot of room when you are trying to take EVERYTHING...!

Just read article about Steve Case (AOL / Time - Warner) building a giant resort in Costa Rica http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/02/AR2007080202316.html. Also Mel Gibson just bought over 400 acres of Costa Rica Beachfront. Can't wait to check it out...!
