We left Chicago at 3:00 PM and at 11:30 PM, we touched down in San Jose, Costa Rica. That is pretty much all for today’s post. We are safe, sound and ready for sleep. We will have actual photos of Costa Rica for tomorrow.
Before I forget…
A grandmotherly Mexican women stole Andi’s nose on the plane into Mexico City, in a very sweet way. We are hoping it means only blessings for our future travels, and not Andi losing her nose.

On the 2nd day of our honeymoon, we had begun our day vacating the creepy love nest of the Rodeway Inn. (Look at the 1st day’s photos of how awesome that room was.)
After leaving there, we had purchased a new power cord for my netbook from Office Depot and headed to the Adler Planetarium! The Adler Planetarium was fairly awesome that had tons to offer on the history of space and space exploration. Go there if you ever get the chance.
We then travel to the Wicker Park district in Chicago and ate at the Earwax Cafe. Home to delicious foods and interesting decor, my wife and I met up with AmeriCorps Alum/awesome person Caitlin Closser. After playing catch-up and eating an awesome black bean burger with avocado and salsa (Andi had a blue cheese steak sandwich), we went thrifting at a few stores in the area and then found our new hotel for the evening.
The evening was finished with going to The Ram Restaurant & Brewery near the O’hare Airport. Great brewed beer and food here. While here, Andi and I were witness to possibly, the most bored prostitute in Chicago. A women in knee high cheetah print boots sat there sadly looking at her drink, while a man 30 years her elder talked her ear off. (Its not necessarily fair that I call her a prostitute, but we both agreed that the evidence was stacked against her being in a normal relationship)
We leave for Costa Rica tomorrow! Look out Costa Rica!
Check out the photos of the harbor and planetarium!

Honeymoon Day 1: Made it to Chicago!
January 2, 2011
Back to using the blog again… finally!
This first post on our honeymoon will be the most boring one, hopefully.
My wife and I have are on our way to our honeymoon in Costa Rica! We had planned (and by we, I mean my wife had planned) this trip back in October between our final semesters at grad school.
We left Omaha, NE this morning at around 10:30 AM and drove to Chicago, IL.
Map of our trip today.
After a stop at an outlet mall in Williamsburg, IA, we had arrived in Chicago at around 7:00 PM. Andi had reserved us a room that may be the best mix of romantic and creepy that I have ever seen.
Just look at it:
-
- You can never have too many couches.
-
- The whirlpool with fireplace next to it.
-
- The whirlpool jacuzi in the best room ever.
Goodnight and more on Chicago tomorrow!
