Cam that's great news! You can join us on the countdown now LOL! Can't wait to meet you and stalk some Pumas. I even have yet to see a silk anteater to that would be awesome too. I also need to play with my macro on my camera a little more so I can get some of those great close up's I see everyone getting.

Side note - I've been working a lot of overtime the past couple months too, but hey, I don't get paid for it...so now it's my turn to whine! Glad to hear it paid off for you in a big way and you already have a travel buddy, cool! ;-)

I'm thinking that with such a group of wildlife enthusiasts as ours, we'll surely see all sorts of big cats, anteaters, snakes, exotic birds that Jill will have to identify for us, etc... Can't wait!


You have my commmiseration on the unpaid overtime, Hip. That's sort of like adding insult to injury, don't you think? I know I'm fortunate that my employer does compensate for OT. Hang in there! I think June will come fast.

Okay smart---! Good job! And thanks!

Hey, cam, I can identify for sure--do I have to be accurate? Let's leave the birds to Carlos. Put me in charge of pumas!

The countdown is on!

hip--sorry about the non-pay. Same for me. But we have all those summers, right?! Hardly makes up for 180 ten-twelve hour days! Or does it. . never bothered to figure! Have things settled down a bit for you?

Let met guess...tully had to find this thread for shillmac and bring it to the top. ;-) Hee!

Countdown definitely on. In fact, I'm so far ahead with planning I hardly know what to do with myself!

In regards to work...let's just say I'm learning to take each day one at a time...Besides lack of staff and work overload, the non-profits are really taking a hit (even though I empathize with everyone being affected as it's happening everywhere).

This vacation is going to be a well earned one, but sadly it may be the last for a while depending on the economy.

Jeff, where have you been? Have you booked yet? Those cabinas fill up fast! Of course, there's always the Tropical Garden--gonna have to try that one of these days. .

Thanks, Tully! It works!

Just finalized booking all of my hotels and flights. Yay!

Has anyone seen Percy around lately? I'm worried about him...

I'll e-mail him this weekend. He's probably off on a trip--he goes twice a year, I think, but usually stays in touch by e-mail. Haven't heard from him in ages.

Now that my trip is over, I can envy YOU now. Wish I could swing it -- would love to return when it isn't so dry and parched. Maybe June 2010...

I know - isn't it a little bit sad when you get back and have to leave CR behind? I think that's why I always start planning the next trip so soon!

I'm working on it, I'm working on it. Too much real life stuff getting in the way! But, I gotta work and pay for these trips somehow.

I'm REALLY trying to hold off on planning the next trip already. We may actually skip CR next year This won't be my decision, but I have to be fair and compromise (buy why?!). Don't think I'm not already scheming, though I usually get my way...

Ho hum. . .look who's "ttt-ing"!

Seriously, FFF's (that's Fellow Fodor Folks, Freaks, Followers, Fools, Friends, Fans, your pick), if you want to see a puma, this GTG is your chance! There may be some camping on the Titi Trail!

Percy, our man, you still buying drinks at Happy Hour one night? By the way, if anyone has heard from or seen Percy, please direct him back to this board--he's been lost.

Jeff? Hopefully you're working out something!

Cam is for sure-yea!!!

Airfare is lower! The more the merrier! Tully!

Not only did you find the post but you got a smiley with his tongue sticking out

Hopefully we'll hear from Jeff & Percy if they plan to attend.
