I'll be flying back to snow and ice on the East Coast on Sunday night. Another home exchange adventure is ending.

It sounds like you've had another wonderful exchange. Have a safe flight home. Annetti

Thanks. I took the car to the top of the Irazu volcano yesterday and am off to have a look at a garden that has a lot of orchids. No more big drives.

Last laundry in Costa Rica is tonight.

Home on Sunday. Tomorrow is for relaxing and last minute. I do not have to clean the house because there is a caretaker here for all of that. The house is not too clean (to put it mildly), so I wouldn't have to clean much anyway. Can't figure out people who run all over the world traveling, have an expensive house and do not fix things and keep it in order, but I am sure you have had them too, annetti.

Trip is over. I am home. House is fine but needs some cleaning--nothing major. I'll start posting photos from the trip on my website within the next week. http://altecockertravels.weebly.com/
