My feet are really moving this time. My flight out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa departs at 11:55am today and I must say this date has really crept up on me. I am completely ready, but I just don’t feel like I should be leaving right now. There are so many more friends to see and things to do, but here I go, off and running on two feet. Thank you to all the friends that made these last couple of weeks in the States so enjoyable. I am going miss you all!
So here is the path I’ll be taking. I will be flying into Dallas-Ft. Worth and from there I will be leaving for San Jose, Costa Rica. Toe-ed shoes and window seats all the way! Since there is no time change between CR and CR (get it… Cedar Rapids and Costa Rica) I will be arriving in San Jose at around 8:30pm (Central Time). I will make a quick run through customs and then be off to downtown and the Hotel Balmoral. This is where I am storing my luggage because I have no intentions of staying in Costa Rica for very long, at least at the moment. After reorganizing my essentials into one backpack, I will be off to the bus station to catch a bus at 3:00am headed for El Salvador. Eighteen hours on a bus sound like fun to anyone? This is where my vacation begins, or so I think. Luckily I many highly recommended books along, including Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge and A Journey in Faith by Eboo Patel. Not to mention hours of music and all the tropical scenery outside my window that I could ask for. What do you think? I am thoroughly entertained by the landscape of Iowa while driving along HW 30; it should be nearly impossible to get bored on this trip.
I will be visiting John Donaghy, a former staff member of St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Ames who now lives in the Copan Province of Honduras. He will meet me in San Salvador, El Salvador so that we can head over to Honduras together. Once there I have no idea what I will be doing. Just enjoying myself I guess. So I will have to fill you on that later.
I appreciate all prayers directed my way, especially those concerned with traveling.
Peace and Blessings,
Cody
