Sun, 1/23/11 - We left San Jose, California before the crack of dawn for our all day journey to San Jose, Costa Rica, with a few hours layover in Phoenix. We flew first class due to a bizarre quirk in how US Air handles its frequent flier miles. For the dates we wanted to travel, economy tickets were in the middle tier cost while first class was in the lowest tier cost and so first class and economy cost the same number of miles... so we can take a hint, first class it is! We met up with our daughter Lizz and her boyfriend Neil in Phoenix since they were joining us from Portland. All the flights were on time, smooth, nice. We stayed the first night at a beautiful B&B, Casa Bella Rita, just outside of San Jose. From the outside the Bella Rita is pretty unimpressive...

... but inside it is a beautiful oasis, full of bright colors nice art work, and a couple of parrots. Looking out from the back patio there is a deep canyon with a river roaring along the bottom. Rita and Steve are the proprietors and Steve in particular reminds us of Shawne's brother Mark. Sort of an old hippie. Both gave us helpful information about Costa Rica. Their B&B is a very nice place to start our stay. We will come back at the end of the trip for our last night.
