My first week in Costa Rica

Finally, I havc reached Costa Rica safely in one piece. The travel hour was really very long, it took me nearly 16 hours to get to Los Angeles from Singapore and another 6 hours from LA to Costa Rica, have not yet include the transit time. Luckily I'm not alone for the whole trip, Karen and Andy will be with me for the whole trip - 5 weeks.

Let me tell you about the first day when we reached Los Angeles, it was around 4.30pm (21st April) and we took the Hertz airport shuttle to the car rental center to get our car. 3 of us were sharing a Mazda 6 thinking that it would be much more cost saving and would be easier for us to travel around.

4/19 night - 3rd Street Santa Monica (we had subway for dinner)
4/20 morning - Costa Rica Embassy
afternoon - Universal Studio
evening - Fisherman Pier (Dinner at California Pizza Kitchen)
4/21 whole day - LA city tour (we went to Hollywood, Beverlyhill, Fox Studio, Farmer's market and etc.)
4/22 midnight - took flight to Costa Rica (2.40am flight)

We touched the ground at 9am in the morning. Everything looks pretty nice here... fresh air .... Chris Thomas came and picked us up from the airport and fetched us back to our apartment (Obeliscos Apartotel). After rest for a while, unpack everything and he brought us out for grocery shopping. That's the first day in Costa Rica.... TBD
