So, one year ago tonight, I was frantically packing and repacking, going over my "what to bring" checklist and doublechecking my carry-on to make sure I had my passport. Did I even sleep a wink that night? I can't believe it's been a year since I headed out to meet up with the most awesome group of teachers ever - I am sad I can't see them all every day now, but so very grateful to have such wonderful memories. I think I can say that my adventure in changed me in many ways - I have a new perspective in my personal life, for sure, and I know the experience has enhanced my teaching.
It also opened up some new doors for me, professionally. My fellow travelers and I stay connected via Facebook - we share lesson, opportunities, good news and general silliness (or is it silly-ness?) - all because of this connection we made in a little patch of heaven called Costa Rica.
To be continued - I am currently working on my next adventure...stay tuned!

PS - I sort of miss having rice and beans for breakfast ;-)
