Well the bags are loaded with literally hundreds of lbs of chewy bars, peanut butter and dried fruit for the kids to munch on in Costa Rica and Belize. Personal bags have been packed and repacked and hopefully nothing significant has been forgotten although it seems inevitable that something has already been lost among the countless notes-to-self and mental ticks. I'll be flying from San Francisco to Miami this afternoon, spending the night there with other leaders and picking up all the students tomorrow afternoon. We'll then spend another night in Miami with a ton of pizza and team building activities to get everyone warmed up to each other and prepared for the flight to Belize the following day.
From there the basic break down of the trip is as follows:
-A few days sailing on two chartered sail boats to Long Caye
-A few days on Long Caye for the kids to get PADI certified in Scuba diving (I don't get to do this unfortunately as there are a few non-divers that will need to be occupied so it sounds like some beach/fishing/snorkeling is in order. It will be strenuous but I'll survive.).
-From there we will head to Costa Rica and spend three days rafting, zip lining & exploring natural water slides and waterfalls along the Pacuare River.
-Then we'll catch a bus up to Tamarindo for surf camp where we'll spend most of the rest of the trip learning to surf, cook local dishes, exploring the mangroves and dancing a dance that has a name I've forgotten.
-I'll be back and done with paperwork for ARCC by the 22nd with plans to perhaps go backpacking along the Lost Coast or maybe spend some more time in Yosemite.
