Last minute preparations!

Hello everybody, welcome to our blog! This is the online journal of Jules, Sally and Emily: 3 friends who met in Glen Eyre Halls at Southampton University. We've decided to spend a month in Costa Rica (no real reason, just sounded like fun!) and here is where you can keep up to date with everything that happens to us.
After a couple of stressful days of preparations (lost passports, wrong flight confirmation numbers...) we're just about ready to go. With all the exams, library courses, etc. at the end of term we haven't really had a chance to do a fixed itinerary yet but I think we're going to base ourselves in San Jose for the first few days at least. We've got a 10 hour flight to get through so I'm sure we'll have a chance to scour through the guide book and come up with something! We'll also be using that time for another purpose- learning Spanish. So far I can ask for an orange, Emily can tell someone off for forgetting their exercise book and Sally can smile politely in any language. We'll be fine! Personally, my biggest worry is finding somewhere showing the England football matches...
I'll be updating this as much as possible over the next 4 weeks and putting up photos where I can, so check back soon for more from us!
