Departure Day

Well today is the beginning of the adventure to Costa Rica. We leave from San Francisco on American Airlines at 8:50 p.m. and fly to Miami where we have a 5 hour lay over before boarding a 2.5 hour flight to San Jose, CR.  The time zone is equivalent to Pacific Central time, just one hour earlier than California time.  I checked the weather and it is indeed the "Green Season" with rain or thunderstorms planned for the next week. The temperatures seem to range from a low of 60-62 degrees F to about 82 degrees F, at least in San Jose. It is winter in the southern hemisphere so this may make it more tolerable than sweltering in the tropics with 100% humidity.

Costa Rica is in the northern hemisphere! Don't get lost.

The equator which runs through South America (Brazil) separates the Northern and Southern hemispheres. The last time I looked, Costa Rica resided in Central America and not in the Southern Hemisphere. Whoops...we can't let you get away with that goof.
