The Costa Rican adventure begins

Ok, so we will be embarking our our little Latin American jaunt early tomorrow morning from Newark.  At the moment we are at the lovely Crowne Plaza in the even lovelier area of Elizabeth, NJ (note sarcasm).  Of course getting here was interesting as driving in NJ is always interesting.  No left turns, um what?  I tried to use the pseudo-GPS feature in my 'maps' app but it failed to recognize the fact that you couldn't get to the other side of the highway we were on.  We were north-bound and the Crowne Plaza was south-bound.  Because the area is so lovely, we decided to loop miles out of the way to experience the scenic area of Newark.  We passed the Anheuser-Busch plant twice.  Big Ben, Parliament. 

We are currently on our way to dinner at the fancy Red Robin (don't mock, we don't have one and we love it. YUM!) with Bill, Anne and my cuz, Tara.  More later...
