Landed in Costa Rica

Costa Rica - and freedom at last!!

We arrive at Fiesta Resort and Casino
We get here at one thirty am. Our flight on Sunwing was delayed for an hour, and when we finally took off, it was a turbulent flight. So turbulent, actually, that we had to stop in Cancun to refuel. The wind was blowing at 130-140 nautical knots, and we ...

Shit Management
Encore une journée usante, interminable, ou je ne fais que courir. Je n'ai pas encore eu l'occasion de voir la salle de stock des bureaux ici. Comme nous avons des programmes qui requièrent beaucoup de bouzin, il faut bien le stocker quelque part. ...
