Well - we´ve been on planes or in airports now for 22 hours straight, 12 of which we were seated next to notorious Sydney gangsta Bra Boy Coby Abberton who is really just a young man with terribly sad eyes, he gave us two apples. American Airlines lost gabriels´back pack somewhere between LAX and Costa Rica and I had a bolshy flight attendant insinuate that having a beer at 10am might be a bit much for a mother travelling with her young son, but fortunatley none of this has dampened our spirits and we are happily ensconced in a cosy backpackers named ´La Tranquila´in San Jose Costa Rica, where we will eat empanadas and wait for the arrival of Gabriel´s bag and then head directly for the pacific coast - whooshhh.
