One Last Hurrah!

Costa Rica.....here we come!

Ken and I decided that we needed one big fun adventure before he starts grad school. So we've reserved the week of May 17th off work, and we're heading off to Costa Rica! We had planned on going to Mexico City, and bopping around there a while, but tickets to Costa Rica weren't much more expensive and we both would prefer to go there as it's less urban and more tropical. We are flying out of Portland the evening of Friday, May 14th, and will return to Portland on May 23rd. I'm really excited to be going on this trip. I haven't been out of the country since I went to Mexico on a missions trip Junior year of High School, and Ken's never been outside of the US. We're hoping to travel quite a bit once Ken's done with school and before we have babies, so this will be a nice introduction to international travel. 
Now's the mad dash to get Ken a passport, and mine renewed, as I've changed my name since I last used it. We have 8 weeks as of today, but probably wont have all of the pieces needed until the middle of next week, so we may want to pay the extra money to have them expedited, as I'd rather not stress about it. My parents have my old passport in their safety deposit box, and we have our marriage license (to change my name on mine) and Ken's birth certificate here at the house. So I just need my dad to get my passport, get our pictures taken and get down to the passport office.

Wish us luck!
