Sharon: Sitting here in Austin

Well, here we go. Despite Max's strong protests, the Costa Rica trip blog is now up and running. And I've even coerced a tepid promise from him that he'll guest-post from time to time.

15 days until take-off, and even he is getting excited; while I've been periodically shouting, "I can't believe we're leaving so SOON" for several months, he said it this morning, with feeling. Lots of little details to take care of: gifties for Khalida (Cracklin' Oat Bran, face paint, a mattress pad), lawn care, paying bills in advance. Even though we're trying to be minimalists, we also have to figure out how the heck to carry all this stuff.

We went for a hike on the greenbelt this morning, and the kids eagerly shed their clothes and plunged themselves into the river to spend an hour throwing rocks and splashing around. Their enthusiasm bodes well, since that's pretty much a standard activity in Montezuma.
