Flying Home
Saturday, April 8, 2017, 06:00 PM
Took a shower on the boat at 6 AM then packed up the remaining dirty clothes before going to early morning coffee. Sat with Karen and talked about lodging on the Ossa peninsula. Had the breakfast at 7:30 while they moved the boat to the dock. I had bacon, eggs, fruit and a cinnamon roll with coffee. We sat with Jane and Dan and discussed the week. They are pretty negative people and of course their expectations are much higher than ours for a birding expedition. We got our passports back along with a thumb drive of all the pictures. Boarded a very comfortable bus and headed on our way to San Jose. We had to wait 15 minutes down the road because 2 people were on the wrong bus. this was the couple that had created many other problems during the week. Rey was our guide on the bus accompanying us back to San Jose to the intercontinental Hotel. The hotel is beautiful, we retrieved our suitcases for the airport transfer which we were doing with another couple, Muffy and Mark from Palm Garden Florida. They were going through Panama City while we were going through Miami. We had easy sailing through the San jose airport which seemed very crowded and confusing but American Airlines help us tremendously and we even got the equivalent of TSA Pre through Costa Rica security. We had business class which included a beef lunch which wasn't very good. it was a piece of chuck steak that was tough but the free wine was OK. We had a glass of white then a glass of Cabernet on a mostly smooth flight across the Caribbean. We checked into the Admirals Club in Miami. This was pretty good. They had free drinks, peanuts and cheese and chili. We each had a glass of Champagne. Libbie had the cheese which was a very good Swiss while I had the black bean Chili. |
