Turning Lemons into Lemonade

[lucybelle]

Here in CR you come in on a tourist visa which lasts 90 days. It can be renewed by leaving the country (if only just to have a coffee at the border) and them coming back in. My visa is going to expire just a few weeks before I'll be able to turn in my residency package which means I won't have to leave anymore. I was kind of pissed about having to leave. I was doing all sorts of things to try to figure out how to stay for just those few weeks extra. But in the end, I think it's best that I stick with the 90 day rule.

The plan was for me to go to Nicaragua, as usual. It's a 9 hour bus ride to a country that's so effing hot I never want to leave the hostel. Not saying Nicaragua isn't beautiful, it certainly is and I love it, but it's sooooooo hot!! So I wasn't looking forward to it, but I planned on making the most of the trip. Until one of my friends suggested I go visit him in Miami!

San Jose to Miami in a plane is only 3-4 hours. You can find round trip tickets for as low as $100. It is stupid easy to get to! (although maybe just as hot as Nicaragua...) Now I'm kind of siked! I didn't find a super cheap ticket, it being last minute and all, but I think I'll make my border run to Miami next Thursday! Just gotta get in contact with the SO before I buy my tickets. My mom might come down to visit too.

I'M SIKED!!!

Bought my ticket. OO OO!

[mllebamako]

Sounds fun!! Enjoy

That visa rule seems so silly (having to leave and come back in, even if it's only an hour later). But then again it kind of forces you to go on little getaway vacations, so that's kind of cool
