This statement is so true:
Why are people so scared to move away from the things and people they know and experience different things in life?
Not only that, but they try to discourage you (or hope you fail). I hope that you have a great time and really enjoy life in CR. Do you have a plan of where you plan to land? Which beach? We were in Tamarindo at the end of our honeymoon and there were various beach bum type people there. ;) Ha. Do you have a tent or are you going to rent somewhere? I know it is going to be an experience. And you're right. If it doesn't work out, you can always just return home!
You are so right about the people trying to discourage us (and im sure hope we will fail) and that was our friends and some of our family, its crazy! Its sad people are like that, but we just decided not to have those people in our lives anymore.. More downsizing i guess you could say lol.. We are going to Uvita. We rented an airbnb for a month and have a bunch of rentals we are going to look at when we get down there so we can stay an extended period of time. I know things will work out, not worried at all about that ;)
Nice - I have actually heard of Uvita and it being pretty nice. Some of us expat Panamamamas are thinking about doing a girls trip in a few months and we're thinking about doing somewhere in Costa Rica. You'll be the CR expert by then - I'll have to ask you where we should go. ;) Yes, well..pretty much all of our family discouraged us...no one was really on board with our move. I had a few friends who were okay with it and some people said, "that's cool but you're crazy." Lol. I guess when you add five kids to the equation, it's a little on the crazy side. I'm sure you'll enjoy CR. It's so lovely there - and they have good food! Enjoy your last few USA days!
We do plan on exploring CR quite a bit when we get there so hopefully I should be an expert by the time you girls are ready for your trip and I would be more than happy to give you a few ideas on cool places to go and things to do. ;)
Five kids does make it a little more challenging for sure but that proves that anyone can do it if they really want it! I don't think your crazy at all, i think people who slave away at a job they hate for their entire lives are crazy! Trying new things and meeting new people is what life is all about, not jobs and things.
Thanks for all the support ;)
Oh so true! Working a job you hate is not the way to live life. We are pretty much always here all together in our family. Lol - working from home and homeschooling. ;) I know you'll love CR. It is great - enjoy!! :)
