Arrival to Costa Rica
Made it safely to San Jose, Costa Rica. No issues on any connecting flights or at customs. Although I was feeling fatigued due to the fact that the only thing in my system was a cold brew and coffee cake, I did not hand my bag to the random man outside the airport. If someone claims to work for the hotel shuttle, but is not wearing a uniform, don't give your bag to them. Upon reaching the hotel I was happy to see there was a Denny's located in the same parking lot as the hotel. I want some authentic Costa Rican cuisine, but there will be more opportunities, so I got myself some pancakes. I have a domestic chartered flight to Golfito tomorrow night, which is where the ship is in port. I will post when I can, or when there is something notable/interesting that people would want to hear about.
