Girlfriend, you made my day! Sometimes I wonder if anyone out there is reading this, though I know they are from my stats and all that jazz. I bet Hawaii is wonderful. Someday... It's funny, <I>esposo</I> and I have talked long and hard about moving to Toronto. We may still, one of these years. My first love is California's central coast, so we may end up back there one of these days. The only sure thing is that we won't be here for the long term.<BR/><BR/>The crime here is the one big thing that keeps us from wanting to make Costa Rica a permanent residence. Actually I have been thinking about writing about it, because you hear so much from different groups of people, and I have personally been a victim of a home invasion that was horrendous. I think I'm only now able to write about it, after almost 8 years.<BR/><BR/>Amy reads my blog, so hopefully she will see your kind message to her, and if she somehow misses it, I'll be sure to let her know! She's one of the people who keep me sane here. :-)Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04907218589821447266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24922856.post-21845735615438683922008-02-12T02:31:00.000-06:002008-02-12T02:31:00.000-06:00Aloha Raven!I am currently in Honolulu/Waikiki for...Aloha Raven!<BR/>I am currently in Honolulu/Waikiki for 4 months to avoid the cold winter weather in Toronto (Canada). The interesting thing is that I was originally planning to go to Costa Rica (and not Hawaii) but could not arrange flights and rentals, etc. on a timely basis. I was also feeling a little anxious because I figured the culture shock might be a little too great - not knowing Spanish, having trouble getting high speed internet, etc. So, I am living vicariously in CR by reading your and others' blogs. You are certainly very direct and forthright in your comments, also humorous and entertaining. Keep up the good work! Would you mind commenting about the perceived high levels of crime in CR, one of these days?<BR/><BR/>By the way, I think your buddy Amy needs some cheering up based on her last posting to her blog. I wish I could submit a comment to her telling her to keep her chin up and think positive.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes to you and your family. I look forward to reading your blog every day ;)<BR/><BR/>MarikaAlmostRetiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17551243063470956235noreply@blogger.com
