Such Is Life In Costa Rica

We took a late afternoon flight and got to Lima around 7pm. Since we were taking another flight to Cusco in the morning, we stayed at a hostel about 5 minutes away from the airport. It was nice and clean, but we discovered this style is not our cup of tea for sure. We did have a delicious beer (1 liter bottle) and went to bed early to have energy for the next day. On Saturday we took the flight to Cusco and arrived around midday. We hired a taxi cab inside the airport (this is important) and were driven to our accommodation. Please please please hire the cab inside the airport! Just by driving by we saw beautiful buildings and water sculptures we wanted to visit straight away! Good thing we had a plan, that way we were able to fit these in :) I had booked the best deal I could find that was near Plaza de Armas. It turned out to be this tiny place right in Plaza de Armas, which made exploring the city a beauty - and for just $50 a night for the three of us it was perfect for our b...

Lima Airport It was one of those bucket list trips I've had since I saw the show "In Search Of..." where they showed the Nazca lines. I was always attracted by the mystery behind all these wonderful places and usually let my mind wander as a child. So when I learned of the really cheap flights Avianca was offering I immediately booked 3 tickets! This is very unusual for us, we like to plan things well in advanced and make doubly sure of everything, but for this trip we just bought the tickets and sorted it out later. As a family we'd already traveled to Guatemala, but that trip was wholly planned by my father-in-law seeing that he lives there and knows his way around. For Perú, it was completely up to us. This is when I was introduced to all the wonderful cheap hotel sites out there, especially Hotels Combined  and Booking.com . I managed to score very good prices at locations that couldn't be beat. We are not typical travelers, we like to enjoy local...

Don't we all need a little reminder sometimes? I am worthy of love - it even sounds nice. How many of us truly believe it? We are constantly giving love - as mothers, wives, caregivers - but we forget that we, too, are worthy of love. So deep for my first post, but I truly want this to lead my life. I suffer from depression and anxiety, which in turn mess up my sleeping cycle, I also go through periods of high productivity (guess which one I am in right now). It is a difficult roller coaster but through it all I see how much my family loves me, understands me and wants to be there for me. They don't know what to do either, but they are there for me to hold me when I need to and to be my safe haven. I am worthy of their love! I am human and have my weaknesses but I am worthy of love .
