Costa Rica - Initial Preparations

With a tight schedule to work on, we decided to finally buy our plane tickets. Ces was adamant in making flight reservations first than working on the whole trip's itinerary. Not a bad idea considering that we really need to make some serious planning with a little more than a month to go.

But first, we had to set an exact date for the trip. All the while I thought that it'd be just a maximum of 7 days. I was able to squeeze in a 7-day off for myself in our work schedule beginning on September 16th. But Ces had other ideas. She was thinking of a 10-day trip! So now I had to apply for a leave-of-absence. We agreed on these dates: September 16 to 25.

Then the flight reservations. I told her that since she will be off on the 15th, she can come to Windsor and we can fly out from Detroit. I even offered her train tickets. But stubborn as she is (hehehe..) she wouldn't budge. It took us almost three hours to figure out which schedule will work for both of us. She is going to fly out from Toronto and I from Detroit on US Airways. We'll have the same connecting flight in Charlotte, NC to San Jose, Costa Rica. For the trip back, we'll leave on the same plane to Charlotte then she will head to Toronto and I to Detroit.

More work to do..
