Smooth(er) sailing. . .

We got some good news last week: Our application for permanent residency here in Costa Rica has been approved.
Basically, this means that we don't have to leave the country every three months for a visa run. We can stay here and do our thing. Of course, we're still going to travel and get out and about. We can do it on our own schedule, now.
Naturally, the process isn't a simple one. There were a lot of hoops and hurdles to get through and we had a great firm help us out. However, we're still not done.
We're due for a week off starting August 21. We were going to head to the beach and relax (prices to Vegas were a bit too high, unfortunately) but that is now put on hold.
In order to finish everything up, we're going to spend the week in the San Jose area, heading to various government offices for fingerprinting, photos, signatures and more of the same, probably in triplicate.
