Moving on up....to Costa Rica!

Big news in the Blank house: in addition to officially putting in our application for medical school this week, we found out we're moving to Costa Rica for a year! We'll be moving in October and staying down there as long as we can until we move back to start med school in 2011.

Here's a map of the beautiful country so you can start to imagine where we'll be!

I love to travel. But maybe what I love even more (well ok, maybe not more, but at least as much!) than traveling is getting a great deal while I'm doing it!

I was looking through these ideas from the Globe today and thought I'd share in case it inspires you to get out and explore your hometown, too!
