Jose, he is the man, we shared Poi Roll with Poi pudding filling and a Haupia madasada from Kam Bakery!

Keith getting some breakfast!

Our trip was a long one. 10 hour layover in Dallas, from Hawaii, kept ourselves busy driving in circles in all the detours that they have there. Boarded our plane, only to miss the landing twice due to weather, diverted to Liberia to refuel, needless to say, we couldn't exit the plane. Left at 6:30 PM on Thursday, 11/17 arrived 11 PM on Friday, 11/18. We were tired. Found our driver, holding a sign for us, a hellish drive up Ajajuela to Pura Vida Spa Resort. We arrived to a great staff, completely friendly and so accommodating, so much that they had dinner for us, waiting to heat up since we were 3 hours late in our arrival time. We brought them some of our Poi Madasada's and Haupia Madasada's  Delicioso!

Visit to Dallas, TX

Our trip started out pretty mellow, all packed up, omiyage packed for our new friends and our service crew. Easy check in at the airport.

Got into Dallas, Had our massages, though it was screwed up, so we didn't get 1-1/2 hour massages happening simultaneously, instead, I got 1 hour 15 min, and Keith only got 45-Min which was just enough time for the guy to screw up his neck, which I've been trying to fix since we got here.

But we got to see the Dallas Cowboy Stadium, but no Texas BBQ for us, had to make it back to the airport.

But it was fun and nice to get out of the airport and run around, oh, but don't go to Dallas now, they send you on crazy circles! Damn detours, they think we're born in Hawaii or something? like we wouldn't notice that they were sending us in the same direction over and over? geez!

We found this great breakfast place as we were waiting for our massage appt. Awesome!

The highlight in the stadium was the massive screen in the stadium. Wow, I would have to move out of my block. that thing is massive! :)

Next stop is Costa Rica! Mucho Gusto!
