My Ticas are leaving Portland tomorrow to spend the next week in Salem (capital), then a week in Bend (Eastern Oregon, then a week in Hood River (Columbia River Gorge. It's been a hectic week of constant Spanish & requests/questions about a zillion things. But I'll probably be bored when they're gone. Ticas are really, really friendly & laugh a lot. Sweet, sweet people. GabyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313968083105494075.post-39565034760192500262011-09-13T12:51:57.576-06:002011-09-13T12:51:57.576-06:00Here I am!

How pitiful am I .... <br /><br />I have to try clothes on first, especially pants or shorts, because many times the rise is not long enough so I am going to have to decline your very generous offer ... but I got such a kick out of it and thank you. Yes, Grecia is not too far from Atenas - we haven't been there yet but it's on our list.<br /><br />I didn't get a personal email from you - or did I? Was it the one that I have now posted re: structure, etc.? I'll see if I can sort this out and answer your questions via email. And thanks again!!Diana Miskellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02546520587903079967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313968083105494075.post-62905826647049943172011-09-11T22:00:44.133-06:002011-09-11T22:00:44.133-06:00ok, you haven't written in a LONG time, so ---...ok, you haven't written in a LONG time, so --- guess I'll have to entice you with a carrot: how about, I SEND you some shorts from Portland w/my homestay who lives in Grecia? I don't think that's very far from Atenas. Sizes preferred? Hope you can see my personal email - if not, let's exchange & see what else I might send you from the NW.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313968083105494075.post-63658643849892909162011-09-08T21:49:50.198-06:002011-09-08T21:49:50.198-06:00Oh, thanks for the quick response!

Not sure exactly where you are, I'll haul out the map & look... More later about this group I've found, too. It's an Oregon/Costa Rica exchange program for teens, adults & improvement projects (ala Peace corps/Mercy corps type projects). Lot's of Ticos & gringo expats there are involved. <br /><br />So how's life in retirement? Finding enough structure &, in general, things to do? I'm a little concerned about that = having been at my current company for 32+ years! Boy, do I need a LIFE!

My goal with this blog was to hopefully help others who want to move to Costa Rica in some way and also to keep my friends and family up-to-date on what we are doing all in one fell swoop.<br /><br />We love Oregon - it's such a beautiful state. You are smart to make CR contacts now and your Ticas will be a huge source of information and later referrals.<br /><br />Keep me posted on your CR plans as they unfold....DianaDiana Miskellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02546520587903079967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313968083105494075.post-5397019224024784592011-09-08T08:38:12.524-06:002011-09-08T08:38:12.524-06:00Love your blog!

I'm from the Pacific NW (Oregon) & am starting my travels to places I may retire to. I've hooked up w/a local group with ties to CR, including a homestay exchange. I'll be hosting two Ticas next week. Perhaps in Feb. I'll get to go to CR for a month. More later - just wanted to introduce myself! GabyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
