The red tape charge. . .

We're going to be heading out for a couple of days and may or may not update the blog while we're gone.

Our main objective (other than seeing movies--The Avengers is out down here ahead of the U.S. release and it was very, very good!!) is to get our Costa Rican driver's licenses.

In theory, we just show up, get an eye exam, blood test and then present our valid Hawaii licenses and that should be it. However, nothing is ever that simple down here, and what should be a 2-hour process could very easily turn into a half- or full-day outing. If we can find the right people to help us out, it will speed the process. If we don't, we'll return with tales of woe and bureaucracy.
