We have just arrived and gotten settled in to our hotel, the Orqudeas Inn. Overall, the travel day went smoothly! We left Bryant by 7am, and arrived to Logan Airport with plenty of time to check our heavy suitcases and go through security with no problems. After we got onto the plane, we had to wait awhile for the plane and runway to be cleared of snow and ice before we took off. Ate a quick lunch in the Atlanta Airport and then off to San Jose! Costa Rica is an hour behind Eastern time. We waited in a long line to go through the final passport check and customs, and unfortunately had one lost suitcase. However, he should be able to pick it up from the airport tomorrow! Our tour guide, Esteban met us at the airport with a bus to transport us to the hotel. The hotel is beautiful, feels like it's in the middle of a rainforest! (But is actually just a few streets over from the main city, Alajuela). Our group of 40 students takes up most of, if not all of, the hotel, which makes it feel very private! We are now all relaxing by the pool with some dinner. Eventful day tomorrow, feels great to be here!!
Yes, today was a pretty eventful today. It is amazing how in a span of less than a full day we completely changed scenery from snowy Bryant to warm Costa Rica. People were really enjoying themselves at the restaurant and the pool. Unfortunately the airline left my bag at Atlanta but thanks to Erik I have business casual clothes for tomorrow. In either case, this trip is turning out to be an amazing experience.
