After a few mishaps with the airlines I finally arrived at about 8:00 last night! After arriving at the airport at 5am we were informed my flight was for San Jose CALIFORNIA not San Jose Costa Rica. SO after buying a whole new ticket and driving to a new airport my second flight was delayed because the toilet broke, and then we couldn't land on time in San Jose because of a storm and we were running out of gas so we stopped in Managua for about an hour. Wheeeww... By that time I was no longer nervous to get here I was ecstatic to get off of planes! Getting picked up by Jenny (the ambassador of Nicaragua to Costa Rica) was awesome I got to cut all the lines and move through the airport super quick. I got a sim card and phone plan and started to my host families home.
My house has a gated entrance that a few homes share. I have a housemate Wesley and we get along really well. Its funny because for some reason he reminds me a LOT of Eric!! So strange. My family is great Ana is really sweet her 4 year old daughter Maria Jose and 10 year old Diego. They loved their presents and chocolate and peanut butter!
pictures to come :]
OOOOHHHH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS! I cannot believe your ticket was to CALIFORNIA!! hahahaha what a wreck!!! and the toilet?!?! That's funny that's why it was delayed. And I think I would've been freaking out about the gas being low. Sheesh sounds like quite the day. At least it ended with you feeling like a rockstar and cutting in lines. Aw man Steph I'm so glad you are writing a blog, I'm going to be stalking you like crazy and checking up on what you are doing. It sounds like things are going to be really great though despite your rough travels. I didn't know you had a housemate! Where is he from??
