This has been a rest and recovery day. I had a 90 minute massage this morning from the same lady I had one from Wednesday. She did a fabulous job again and helped me work out the soreness in my body.
We had lunch after my massage and then three of us sat at a table and visited for two hours. It was a delightful conversation with two other like-minded women.
I came to my room when we were done visiting and have enjoyed some quiet time in my room. The only other thing on the agenda is dinner at 6:00 and then we will probably have some sort of closing ceremony.
Tomorrow my flight to San Jose is at 9:50. I will then return to the hotel where I got stuck in the elevator and spend one night before returning to the airport for my 11:00 flight to Houston on Monday.
I got a notice from the airlines that the hurricane may disrupt flights starting Sunday and last for a couple of days. They recommended rebooking to a different airport. They will waive rescheduling fees. The only problem is, their phone lines are backed up with hold times of three hours and when I used the website they have no other options available.
I may or may not get out Monday morning. I am going to check at the airport Sunday when I am there to see if they have any options they can offer me in person. This may get interesting. I do have travel insurance that will pay me up to $300 a day for expenses I encounter if I get delayed for over six hours. This adventure I am on may continue for a bit. Good thing I don’t have anything pressing to have to get home to.
I can also attempt to find another airline that goes to a different US city as the travel insurance will pay for that. Maybe I will get to stay in Costa Rica for a bit longer. Good thing their airport is small and easy to navigate and there are hotels close by.
Not sure I would come back to Costa Rica. It is too hot for me. I am here during the rainy season which helps cool things down each day. I can’t imagine what the hot, dry season is like. I love the flowers and greenery and all the creatures and the choir they sing at night. Just can’t handle the heat, the bugs in the room, and the bugs that bite me when I am outside.
Still processing the healing work I did yesterday. At one point, my inner child came out to play. I had walked up the steps to the bathroom and there were water puddles in places. I had to stomp through them and wanted to stay out and play in the rain. It was fun letting my inner child out for a bit.
I am attempting to not put a story in place about what I was releasing. I learned before that I will find out what I released when something happens and I find myself responding differently than I have in the past. That is how I know my behavior pattern got reprogrammed and I will now behave differently. A story about what I think may have happen feels like I am putting limits on what reality is and closes off new possibilities for me.
When I got something out of my suitcase earlier, I noticed a whole lot of little tiny ants in my suitcase. I emptied it out and wiped out the ants but as I am typing some are coming out of my iPad keyboard case. YUCK! I hate bugs inside. Now I feel like I have them crawling all over me.
Wish me luck for a safe and on time return home. Not sure I want to spend a couple more nights in San Jose or Houston but will deal with what ever happens.
Grateful for a quiet day to recover, grateful for another wonderful massage, and grateful I got travel insurance.
