Time To Celebrate, Measuring Success, Celebrate and Claim Your Victorythe

Well, it is time to celebrate for one thing my new book sold it's first copy. How to Lose  The Weight For Good, No Diets or Workouts Required.  I lost 45 pounds this year using the formula in this book. I got to realize my dreams of traveling and working from where ever I land. I can go anywhere and stay about a month and really get to know the area or I can stay a year if I want. Well, my friend and I are going to take another trip.  It is her gift to me to celebrate my book, my dream coming true and my book selling its first copy. So where are we going to go?  The United States dollar isn’t exactly what it was previously. Nonetheless it has gained weight recently as a consequence of the continuous debt episode in Europe, it has fallen against the Australian, New Zealand, and Canadian dollars as well as just about every other major currency in the world.  

Costa Rica is one of the few countries to have its currency lose ground to the dollar. A dollar now gets 500 Colons, up 

money goes a lot further than it used to, making it a better bargain. Costa Rica is a beautiful place and my favorite 

Central American country. As an added bonus, flights from the US are also very cheap. I paid $400 

to fly roundtrip from NYC and you can sometimes gets fights as low as $300. On the cheap end, you’ll need 

about $40 USD per day, while for your mid-range costs you’ll need about $60. Compared to visiting NYC, Disney,

 or the Caribbean, Costa Rica is a steal.

So you're thinking of moving from the U.S. or Canada? And your wife thinks you are having a mid-life crises! (A move together is better than a fling!) Some folks say Ecuador is nice. And a lot of expats have moved to Boquete, Panama. Nicaragua is cheap, if you don't mind living under a left wing dictator! And then there is Costa Rica. But trying to describe Costa Rica is like the blind men trying to describe an elephant! The higher elevations are cooler and wetter. The Pacific coast is dryer and hotter. And a lot of folks like the Caribbean coast, where the prices are not as high as the tourists' towns of the Pacific coast.
Some folks move to Costa Rica expecting first world living at third world prices. Doesn't work that way! We can help you explore different areas and decide whether Costa Rica is right for you. 

So now the place to celebrate has been decided and the next thing is for me to find us a place to stay that is inexpensive, where we can cook and be near a store. 

Look what I found on Craig's list Costa Rica:

Bibi's B and B, is located in the center of the country, just north of San Jose. We are a great place from which to explore Costa Rica. Bibi's offers single person rooms with a shared bath, just across the hall and shared with the person in the next room, at $ 40 per day, $ 250 per week, $ 675 per month. We also have single person rooms with a private bath at $ 50 per day; $ 300 per week, $ 775 per month. We can assist you with your explorations. And you don't need to rent a car. (More on that later.)
We provide daily breakfasts, weekly laundry and linen service, free airport transfers with a week's stay, free Internet and free calls back home (USA and Canada) on Magic Jack. Guests have use of a refrigerator and the kitchen for other meals. When you stay with us you're like family! Please visit our website: www.costaricanbandb.com and see our page on Facebook: "Bibi's Family B and B". 

I am not thrilled with sharing a bath but if my friend stays across the hall we can share the bath and that will be alright. 

All of this for about $1500 a month. We still have to eat. So we will eat mostly street food and food we cook ourselves and buy at the  grocery store. We can cook in the outdoors too and parks. 
See part two of this article in the next few days, in fact there maybe several articles as we plan. I am so excited.
