Well, in case you haven't gotten a call (as many haven't) we made it back to the U.S. without incident on Thursday, and we're back in San Diego now.
All you New Yorkers, we really did try to get stuck there on our layover, but the rain came a little late. We even refused a generous offer in Costa Rica to take the next flight out (they over-booked), it would've only landed us in SD one hour later than planned, but the layover was in Houston, not Newark. No thanks, Jerky.
On our first day out, we managed to find a great spot to live, that not only accepts pets, but has a dishwasher (nearly a deal-breaker after 5 years of hand-washing), and, most especially, is 100 yards to the Pacific Ocean.
We really do lead charmed lives, it seems, and it has been great sharing it with you all! Stay in touch.
120thst@gmail.com is our joint email if anyone doesn't have one for us yet.
Best,
Kimberly & Jimi
