Costa Rica Month in Review



It is hard to believe we have been in Costa Rica for over 5 weeks now. I can truly say we are living Pura Vida. We have been at the same house in Langosta for most of the time, with a 5 day stay at the J.W. Marriott, Tamarindo for a business event.


Allot has happened in this 5 weeks, let me list them out.

1. Brian pounded his head against the wall for the first 3 weeks because the surf was crappy!!! We also declined renting a car because we were so close to Tamarindo (10 min walk) this was Brians idea so I had no mercy for the first week. 2nd week we finally got a car, the brightest electric blue Toyota I have ever seen, non 4WD. Now for those of you that have ever heard, seen or experienced the roads once you get into Tamarindo, Costa Rica you know what I mean. The pot holes are almost big enough for this little car to fit in and your kidneys are kicking you when you stop. (Yea Brian, way to wait to get a car) I have fallen in love with the wonderful machine though!! So as they say "There is always a silver lining to everything"

2. We made a tough decision to leave our company of 4.5 years and switch to "THE COMPETITOR" now for those of you that have corporate jobs, this may sound like an everyday thing. But let me tell you...when you are an entrepreneur in the home business industry...its like war!! So we avoided bullets and daggers for a few days and snuck in to the new companies "Destiny Event" to see if they were really legit.

Wow! Can I say that when you don't know what your missing...You really don't know. Being part of the Life Path Unlimited "Destiny Event"was powerful and transformational...so we were happy to bite the bullet and leave Liberty League. Nothing like being in your 8th month of a world tour and have to start a new business...but hell if you guys know what we went through with Real Estate last year...this is a cake walk and all is good. Real Good.


3. Swan finally got some good surf at Avellana's, (Lil Hawaii) right in front of our hotel and we met up with some of the most powerful and amazing people at the event.

4. Hanalei is a jungle girl!! She is loving it here, and our Nanny Eugenia has been a god send. She comes every morning at 10am and stays until about 2 or 3 when Hanalei takes a nap. Allows us to get our jogging in, surfing and business. We have truly been blessed everywhere we have been with amazing people that love our family. We will miss her when we go to Nicaragua next week.
