I will just point out though (as a lucky recipient of one of the Gifts of Happiness :) That it isn't all expenses paid, but it is most expenses, the bulk is paid for (airfare, domestic travel to the destinations you stay and great hotels, and most packages include breakfast daily). Enter every day, that's the only advice I can give... it really does happen to everyday people!! Good luck!!!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00009265172905402671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878441230093247945.post-44587905972564087842011-12-26T05:33:31.574-08:002011-12-26T05:33:31.574-08:00Lots of pictures, Deb, and Julia, thanks for the s...Lots of pictures, Deb, and Julia, thanks for the suggestions.

Then the one snuck back on a boat to San Diego or something ... I don't know Kellinator. I'm thinking it's one of those places I'd rather visit on DVD. Where's the snow? Pizza parlors? Subways?<br /><br />Just kidding. I'm pretty sure they bottled up all the dinosaurs on that island ... except for that can of shaving cream with the hidden DNA ...Charlieoperahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876755029099726686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878441230093247945.post-4560152648784087912011-12-26T01:22:20.920-08:002011-12-26T01:22:20.920-08:00It looks beautiful Kelly!

Beautiful country, wonderful, friendly, happy, healthy people, great government, sloths! Rain forest, gorgeous beaches, incredible bird life...crocodiles! The Oh My God Bridge and the Pray to Heaven Bridge - you gotta drive over 'em to believe 'em... The only thing I freaked out about were the nasty poisonous snakes. Loved the golden orb spiders.<br />Try Monteverde and Santa Elena. Perfection!Julia Rachel Barretthttp://juliarachelbarrett.netnoreply@blogger.com
