Adios Costa Rica, Hola Cartagena

Freddy arrives at 9:30 Sunday morning to drive us back to San Jose.  Paul and Kara have a 2:30 pm flight, while James, William and I fly out early Monday morning.  We say our good-byes to Paul and Kara at the airport then Freddy drops us at the Country Inn and Suites.

It has been a wonderful 10 days with the family and we have all enjoyed time and our experiences in Costa Rica.  We miss everyone already!

William and I catch the 5:30 am shuttle to the airport on Monday.  We are flying Avianca airlines for the first time.  We have to connect through Bogeta to reach Cartagena and everything goes smoothly.  The airline looks ok - which is good because we have two more flights (each with two legs) with them over the next two weeks.

In the Cartagena airport we meet up with our friends Charlie and Elsie, who have arrived about an hour before us.  Elsie's smiling face is waiting after we claim our baggage and Charlie is finishing his coffee close by.  With all the cautions about using official taxi's we fumble around a bit trying to understand the process.  Eventually an unofficial taxi driver show us the machine to get the slip for the official taxi prices.  He's disappointed that we won't ride with him, but we want an official taxi.

We have a short taxi ride to the condo we have rented for the next week, a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath overlooking the beach.  It's in a complex that includes a Sonesta Hotel, two pools, a restaurant, poolside bar and small mini-mart.  It looks great!  Next door is an ARA Market, a small grocery chain in Columbia.

​It's been a couple of years since the four of us have been together in-person.  Over dinner at the restaurant within the complex we begin to catch-up.  Although we're excited to be here, it was an early morning for all of us and we are tired.  We call it an early night.
