It is May 17, 2012 and Sandy and I are about to begin another Semester at Sea voyage. This time is for one month and we begin in Costa Rica. Actually, from Sandy's point of view the voyage began this morning at the United lounge at National airport.  I am not sure what it is about getting a free cup of coffee and a newspaper, but she enjoys the time spent in these lounges.  Well, tomorrow we have our pre-voyage field trip to the Poas volcano, just outside San Jose-- so, check back often in the next month and  see what we are up to.
