Jaxon (and his dad) and I were up at the ungodly hour of 3 am to catch our flight out of YYJ to YVR, then to Houston, Texas and then finally arriving in the capital of Costa Rica, San Jose. We arrived at our hotel and settled in bed by midnight CR time which is two hours ahead of home. Were we bagged? You bet but we had no hiccups getting here other than there was no one to pick us up as scheduled until a good 3/4 hours late.

An interesting thing is that the door from the street to lobby and reception is locked at all times…..coming or going. Hmmmmm, didn’t see that when I was here 4 years ago. I don’t know if that is because we are in a different hotel in a different location or has it become more unsafe??? I asked the man at the desk about where was the hotel that we stayed at before. He said it was closed because of COVID and bankruptcy. It has affected businesses all over the world. L

This “boutique” hotel is quite nice actually. The hot water is actually solar heated (which I like the idea of) although it was slow to become hot and only at a trickle.
