Finally arrived in Costa Rica

We got here!!! We sat for 2 hours at Newark waiting to take off!!! Part of it was weather here and part of it was traffic at the airport. We got in at 11:45pm eastern time. Then you have to go through immigration, then get your bags, and then go through customs. We finally got to the hotel at 1 AM eastern time. Needless to say we are a bit tired to day.
The boys did great!! Christopher slept for about 2 hours on the plane. Jonathan didn't so he is a bit tired. We will take it easy to day just get the rental car and go to the grocery store.
We had eggs with cheese and pepper and gallo pinto for breakfast. Also a corn tortilla with ham and cheese. plus all of the usual Costa Rica accompaniments like ham and cheese, fruit, a yogurt drink, local fruit drink, and bread.
Tomorrow is our first appointment at 7:30am to get blood draw to match the stem cells. Then our next appoinment is on Wednesday at 10:30pm to get the first stem cells in the spine. Mark will go with Jonathan and I will stay Christopher.
We plan to go to Poas Volcano and do a tram ride through the rain forest on tuesday and wednesday. Thursday we might do a coffee plantation.
We will keep you all posted as to our adventures.
