| Post subject: | AA Avantage Miles, thank you... |
Chicago to Costa Rica $30! I had two trips planned to the land of good and plenty, late August and Thanksgiving week. The other day I checked my AA Advantage Miles and tried to book a flight around my schedule but could not find any available flights. So I thought why not book another flight in June. I checked to see what was available, if anything, in June and found a great six-day schedule that I could book. Looks like I will back to Costa Rica sooner than I thought. I just sent out an email to Hotel Castillo and will have to give my boss the bad news tomorrow. My next trip will be unlike any of my previous trips. I have no novia to worry about and will limit my drinking in Costa Rica. In fact, I am going on the wagon at the end of March and will also give up smoking until I land in Costa Rica. I will hit Oasis, Idem, and many of the other “joints†I’ve never had a chance to visit on previous trips. I will also be spending time looking for an apartment in the $200 range, in a Tico neighborhood. Why you ask? Because I am thinking about pulling a Chi-Trekker and taking a leave of absence from work and spending the time off exploring everything Costa Rica has to offer, the right way. My work will allow me to take up to a year off depending on the situation. I have a very good “situation†that would allow for some time off. If all is possible, I will be spending my time volunteering, teaching English and most importantly, I will be looking into ways to make a living in Costa Rica for a possible long term stay. Who knows what the future has in store for any of us… you only live once and only for a short period of time. I have no one dependant on me and I have one to worry about but myself. I have to seek out adventures in life. Time is only temporary… don't know if my plans will work out but I'm making plans regardless. |

TP, Alright , now that’s an attitude…we should all be so lucky! Quote: I am going on the wagon at the end of March and will also give up smoking until I land in Costa Rica
Note to self…sell Brown Forman and RJM stock tomorrow… 
Best of luck! The only thing I would add is a membership to a local gym… Remember the mantra…â€a lean, mean, Phucking machine†If you loose two vices add a good one.

Traylor Park - Sounds like a great game plan. Might as well do this exploring now, why put it off? Good luck, might be a challenge to balance the pro and non-pro worlds, as you have already discovered. |

Not sure, but they sell AA miles so I would imagine you could just purchase them and go from there? |
