TRIP TO COSTA RICA: TORONTO TO PANAMA CITY-VIEWS FROM THE PLANE

   Sharon and I started our trip to Costa Rica this morning.  We traveled all day.  When we got to the Toronto airport we found out that our Delta flight to Atlanta had bee delayed from 6:20 am to 11 am due to mechanical ptoblems.  This would mean we would miss our connection to San Jose, Costa Rica and would have to stay overnight in Atlanta.  We would be late for the start of our tour on Tuesday.

   Sharon came up wiyh a brilliant idea.  In May we had traveled to Panama City by  Copa Airlines, so she figured they might fly to San Jose.  Low and behold they did.  So we ended up taking Copa to Panama City and then to San Jose.  We arrived at the  San Jose Airport about 4 pm, but we did get here todsy.

   Below are some photos from the plane.
