The wife and I are off to Costa Rica tonight for a belated honeymoon. We are both excited to get some beach, sun, surf, and exploration in such a beautiful place. I will post pictures when we get back and hopefully have a few stories worth repeating.
It has been a while since the last post and the main reason for that has been the lack of too much positivity in the world. Blog writing – at least mine – is typically reactionary and demanding of inspiration in some form. We are all inundated today with thousands of quasi-journalists and their take on the situation we are all confronting and I guess the thought of adding something new or positive to that body of work is daunting. And so this trip comes at such a welcome time for me. Costa Rica represents not just a honeymoon; it represents an unbelievable opportunity to escape to a world of basic need satisfaction. Sun, food, sleep, and nature. I look forward to hiding from news of stock markets, bail-outs, housing prices etc. and instead focusing on weather reports, tidal charts, and bar menus. With any hope this refreshment inspires more blog posts upon my return. Who knows, maybe I will get something posted while there.
Before we take off though I wanted to say a thank you to my parents who are making it all possible. You have spoiled us rotten yet again but I hope you know how much this trip means to us at this particular point in our lives. It is very needed. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts and cannot wait to come back with tans and stories.
