But I am stuck for ever…

August 1997. We got to know each other as next door apartment neighbors. We have doubled in head count ever since. But continue to be as close as ever. Vacationing together in Costa Rica!

Look at the size of the fan at Liberia airport. Now check out the company name!! 🙂

Landed in Liberia (Costa Rica) and headed to the nearest supermarket to get some grocery stuff for the kids.
Started discussing speed zones and traffic tickets with the local driver. Found out something interesting.
The traffic cops cannot hide here to catch you speeding. They have to be clearly visible from some distance. At night, they have to keep their red and blue lights on.
Of course, I had a logical question – “But people will slow down if they see the cop. How is he going to catch them?”
The driver who has been to US, politely asked “Isn’t that the whole idea? Get everybody to slow down? It is not about making money by giving tickets!”
I quietly murmured “you actually have a point there”

The girls plonked down on their seats, totally exhausted. Atlanta airport was a chaos. We made it just as they had started canceling our seats. Hopefully, now the girls know why I always arrive at airports with plenty of time on hand and more….!!

And the trip to Costa Rica begins! At a bar with Sharmila in a hotel by the Atlanta airport. Early morning flight….
