Today is the day, to launch our blog!

This is Sherry & Cjs' first blog, kind of nervous, but with all things new we should get the hang of it and have an interesting blog.  We started this blog mainly as a way for our friends and family to follow our new life in Zancudo, Costa Rica starting December 29th of this year.

Just a little background on......WHY are we moving there!   Our first visit to Costa Rica  was in December of 2008, we knew we needed to see more.  In January of 2010 we spent 21 days traveling through a most amazing country and on our 3rd day we traveled to a destination Sherry had selected, "Playa Zancudo" which translates to "Mosquito Beach"..........ouch!  We had only planned to stay for one night......which turned into 4 nights, and then we really did not want to leave, but sadly we said our good-byes and continued exploring the rest of the country.  Playa Zancudo was a very special place.....we felt it in our hearts and for the rest of our journey, Playa Zancudo had burrowed into our souls.  Once back in the states, plans had already been laid to return in 2011, this time for a month.   On our return this past January, we had hardly settled in, just 4 days and we found our home, neglected and vacant except for the bats, termites, scorpions and snakes in the overgrown jungle, just steps from the most amazing beach and view of the Osa Peninsula.   In the company of our Tico and Gringo friends we knew we had found our paradise, and again before we boarded the plane heading home to the states, plans had already been laid for our return, only this time, Playa Zancudo would become our home by the end of the year.

We have named our Zancudo home, "Casa Sencillo Paraiso" which means, "Simple Paradise" and have started the count down for the start of our new life in a simple paradise.  Come along on our journey.
