Kurt is sleeping and I am starving! Waiting for him to wake up so we can eat, am just relaxing in our room.
Getting here was quite an adventure. The flights actually went quite well. I am really impressed with Continental. All flights were on time, they gave us vegetarian food on the flights, food was free, and the beverage service was there all the time. Free headphones too. I hate how other airlines are charging for everything now. You pay enough to fly, in my opinion. Anyway, the time consuming part of the trip started when we landed. We were both already tired from getting up at 307 a.m. to get to the airport and were really looking forward to our room and bed.
First, the line for customs. It was not too bad, but prob took about 20 minutes to get through. After that, our luggage was easy and already waiting for us. Next, the car. We had to go to this desk, and the person was not there. Waited 15 minutes for him to return. Once he returned, it took about 15 minutes to get the shuttle and about 10 more minutes to get to the car (at least). Finally got the car, and started on our "journey" to the hotel. Kurt is the master of directions and speaks relatively good Spanish, so this should have been easy. Umm, yea. IF THE STREETS HAD FREAKING SIGNS. Umm, like no streets have signs. We knew which "street" we needed to be on, but could not find it. We drove around forever and asked for directions like three times. FINALLY, we were on the right path, and only had 22 miles to go. Yea.......22 miles on a road that pretty much is a upward winding one land road with cars going both ways. That took forever. Found the resort and had to drive down this dirt 4-wheel like street to get to the reservation desk......
But....the hotel is so kewl. Our room is nice (there are only 33 rooms here). The people are really nice, and the porch of our hotel has this amazing view which I would love to photograph, but need some light to do so. As soon as I have that tomorrow, I will try and post some pics.

So far, everything we have seen here in beautiful...breathtaking. In one spot on the drive to our hotel, we literally saw, at the same time, FIVE WATERFALLS. It was so amazing. I heart waterfalls and nature in general............
Write more later.....Maybe after my dinner! :).
