Well, here it is kids, I’m headed to Costa Rica again. Similar drill as last time, except this time I had no errands to run in the US, so I’ve simply bussed down to Seattle, and I am in the Radisson Hotel, which by the way is an amazing hotel. My room is very comfortable with a King size bed and a separate living room with a couch, and a nice office piece.
Won’t be writing much as I’m very sleepy right now – just wanted to give you guys a …

The airline lost one of my luggages. Thankfully my guitar in its hardshell case turned up fine, however, my big suitcase which contains my suit, toiletries, clothes, shoes, as well as some coffee liquer I bought for some friends, did NOT show up at the airport. I’m crossing my fingers that it has not been stolen or anything like that.
One thing that continues to amaze me is the complete lack of security at the baggage claim section. They have almost zero method of preventing anybody from taking another person’s suitcase …

Many of you have been asking what the hell I am doing in Costa Rica on this business trip of mine, and I’ve held off explaining it for a while. But as the trip is winding down to an end (I fly out of Costa Rica tomorrow, Tuesday), I would like to disclose a little bit of it.
I am working with some people who have the right connections to provide marketing, design as well as other operational assistance to recruit skilled tradespeople from Costa Rica (and in the future, other …

On the evening of the 17th I was out on the deck playing my guitar, and while I was doing so, our dog, named Bella, fell asleep in my guitar case. What an adorable photo!

Her neck fits perfectly into the slot where the neck of my acoustic guitar (named Layla) fits in! She loves my guitar case and goes into it whenever I have it open!
On the 18th we took a plane out to a beach called the Tambor beach. It’s on the outskirt coast, on the peninsula off the …

Well, I know I said there were no photos for July 4th but I had completely forgotten about the cocktail party we had that night.
It was at the La Monastere Restaurant which is one of the most upscale restaurant-bars in San Jose, on a mountain side which offers great views from the dining lounge. However, we were in the La Cava, which is a cave in the mountain, usually used for reserved parties. In the photos you can see the walls are natural stone. It is literally carved out of …

Many of you are asking “Why are you in Costa Rica, Jeff? What business are you involved in?” Well, I promise to reveal these to you all in time, but at this moment the details are being ironed out between us, the Canadian gov’t people as well as the Costa Rican gov’t people, and we are still in the process of recruiting some bilingual assistants and what not, and the details are changing at times. I won’t reveal anything but the fact that the business plan is developing quite well, …

July 2nd :
A few days ago my client bought a puppy (she’ll be living here, more or less, so she bought a house and a puppy, and will be buying a car soon too), so I thought I’d put some photos up.

The dog literally licked my eyeball in that photo actually. If the camera went off a few tenth of a second earlier it would have caught the disgusting moment. And as you can tell by the big noticeable red spots on my face, there are mosquitos in Costa …
