And now Adobe is updating and I can't view PDFs. Fun. This Tuesday is feeling very Monday

Nothing like returning to work after vacation to new door codes and having to change your password to delay your morning productivity

It was a good balance of active and relaxing, but the relaxing is less interesting in photos 🙂

Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, some Caribbean locations, as well!

We used B's SW points for Costa Rica.

African violet with pink and white blooms

This lovely decided to start blooming while we were away. This one is my favorite (though don't tell the others 🤫)

Just a few highlights of a packed trip.

Us in front of a waterfall and blue pool of water

Us on the beach in Tortuguera

Us in orange life vests on a boat

We're home and doing mountains of laundry. Costa Rica was lovely!

With dietary restrictions and GI issues, I don't have that luxury - especially before international flights!

There was a hot pot conveyor restaurant at the mall, but since we can't read the signs, we weren't brave enough

California Pizza Robot at SJO. 🍕

If you ever need an extra night near SJO, Hilton Garden Inn City Mall is your spot.

We had to stay an extra night due to flight schedules and chose an airport hotel connected to a mall. Oh, the nostalgia walking around this 5 story retail palace with all the 90s essentials! Arcades, movie theater, pet store, toy stores, food court with every US fast food chain, bubbly teens...

I have traveled back in time.

Traffic stopped for banana bunches crossing the road on wires in rural Costa Rica

Bananas have right of way in Costa Rica 🍌🛑

Always! Boots and compression socks 🧦 (though today's flights are short compared to most we do). I have so many packing notes and a master spreadsheet 🤣

Practical vacation wear for the win

Really, it's just that the hiking shoes take up too much luggage space. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Now that I rarely travel for business, my airport attire looks like I stepped out of an REI catalog.

I waited for the kind lady as the news stand to brew some CCs.

3:30am at MSY. No coffee shops are open, but the Sazerac Bar is.

I am not. I struggle to keep up on here, so that's a rabbit hole I've avoided

Awesome. Thanks!

Thanks! We have a very early flight (though not on Sunday) so trying to determine what hour of the night we plan to arrive

Has anyone flown out of MSY this week? How are the security lines these days? #nolasky

Thank goodness for credit card points because my budget definitely couldn't handle a $400 one-way flight to go move Mom in a few weeks. 😬

Busy morning at the eye vet with puppy parents having to make excruciating decisions about surgery. I really hope this is just a regular checkup for my little one. 😾

Hope it goes as smoothly as possible. 🙏

My dad called to wish me happy Easter as I walked into the lobby of the Omni Royal, which is where I last saw my dad on my wedding night.
