What To Do While on Vacation

February 20-24 at Playa Flamingo

When you think about it, I have been so busy working for Stef in her business that I have not taken a vacation in well over a year. Having the opportunity to take some time off with my very dear friends was very refreshing, and good for my mental health.

Except for the boat trip we really did not do that much site seeing, but really just relaxed around the pool. The management of the place we stayed provided us a housekeeper and cook for us at a nominal additional charge. We asked her to make us breakfast several days and then a couple of dinners.

Here they are at work doing everything possible to make sure we enjoyed our stay.

Our first breakfast on Monday

Now before any pool activity began, our two accounting girls had to work on their clients bookkeeping needs. Here you see Carol who has many clients in Nashville that depend on her to keep the books straight - it's obvious that she is not letting them down. Then, we have Victoria who is a CPA in Nashville who also is taking time off from her vacation to make sure her clients needs are met. These girls were doing this every day while we were there.

And now - Time to Enjoy!!

Relaxing around the pool - It is obvious that the girls are having a good time.

Charlie and Victoria

It is obvious that Bob and Carol are quite content

Boring Pete who didn't get in the water and my happy girl who enjoys her vacations.

Costa Rica is only 8 degrees away from the Equator and the sun can bear right down on you - so I decided to opt for the shady places during the day.

Now - take a look at an example of the Sunsets we saw every night

You just can't beat a Pacific Sunset in Costa Rica

Pretty disgusting isn't it? :-)

We did a lot of other things that really did not amount to much. Bob, Charlie and I took some trips into town to check things out and maybe have a pizza - We took the girls to do some shopping for gifts to take home and out to dinner a couple of times - However, everyone really just wanted to lay around and relax at the house, and I think we deserved it.

One special thing that we did was take a Sunset Boat Cruise - I will put that adventure in another post. 

Stay tuned..

Oh Yes - we want to take this time to thank our hosts who did an outstanding job of making us feel welcome. Thank you
