Day 1 - And We´re Off!

We are so excited for our trip to Costa Rica! It was an early morning for the both of us. Shin got up early to get the laundry started while Alexis went off to give her mother a pilates lesson. Once she came back, it took the rest of the day to get packed for the trip. The most difficult part of the packing was trying to get all of our belongings into two small carry-on suitcases. After narrowing our things to the bare essentials, we were ready to go. Mrs. I was nice enough to volunteer to take us to the airport. We managed to get through all of the traffic for the Giants game and she got us to the airport with plenty of time to spare.


We left SFO at 8:30 PM on Frontier Airlines. We had a layover in Denver, and arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica at 5:30 AM the following day. It seemed like we were the only flight that arrived at that hour, so it took only 15 minutes to get our luggage and get through customs. The customs in Costa Rica is a lot more relaxed compared to the United States. Our customs agent listened to an IPod while he cleared us. You would never seen that happen back at home. We can´t complain. Overall, we had a fairly smooth trip to get to Costa Rica and now we´re finally here!
