Getting ready for Costa Rica

My niece is studying massage therapy in Costa Rica.  She leaves next month.  My sister, daughter and I are going down for a week to keep her company.  And sightsee!  I've been doing some research.  Along with enjoying the restaurants and shops, I would enjoy visiting the butterfly farms, volcano, and parks.  I came home from work one day, and my passport had arrived!  The next day, my absentee ballot was delivered.  I will be in San Jose the day of the election.  I still need to buy some colones.  A close call at work.  A customer ordered six pink and white arrangements for a baby shower today.  She called yesterday to ask how the flowers would be packed for transport.  I told her, and then decided to go check the arrangements. When I went into the cooler, I found that the designer had made only one arrangement!  Our designer  immediately made the other five--it took an hour.  I can only imagine what would have happened if the customer had come in and there had been only one arrangement.  It would not have been a good start to the work day for me!  The owner of the flower shop signed a lease on a space for the new branch store.  The building has to be renovated...new carpet, linoleum and recessed lighting.  The cooler has to be installed.  So it will probably be six weeks before it opens.  It's been 5 months since the former branch store was closed and my thoughts and focus are on other things--my parents, husband, hapkido and my daughters' graduation and wedding.
