![]() ![]() We stayed one night at the Hilton Garden Inn near the airport and then headed to Nosara in a van with two of the workshop participants in the morning after a quick dip in the pool.Īdam loving the smoothie vibes at the Harmony Hotel ![]() We arrived in Costa Rica in the morning, the light was damp, the air heavy and hot. I think we spent around $550-$600 each including all the eating at the airports and hotel and taxi to get around. I won’t bore you with the rest of our travels, but it taught me that buying the cheapest ticket doesn’t pay off in the end. Neither was our 4 hour layover in Denver, until I happened to post on FB about it, and our friend Becky just HAPPENED to be in the airport at the same time! Adam and Becky have been friends since highshcool, and we thought about seeing if she wanted to come meet us at the airport during our layover, but decided it was a bad idea… turns out, she was already there! We met for a beer in between terminals and had some good laughs. But it turned out by the time November rolled around, the idea of sleeping on the airport floor in Houston wasn’t so appealing. So Adam joined in on the fun as a secret extra bonus and offered the participants a hands on tie dye component to the retreat. Adam spends most of his days operating an environmentally friendly screen printing and design shop, called Golden Rule Design, and he started making beautiful shibori style textiles as a by product of cleaning up after his screen printing jobs. Now, I travel by myself often, but the idea of leaving my honey behind for beach times and surfing felt criminal, so we figured out how to get him involved too. So when I saw on Facebook that Liza was planning to bring a group of floral enthusiasts down to her special beach town for a 7 day tropical flower/yoga/surfing workshop, I hopped on board to teach macrame too. Some people just have that one special place they keep going back to. Whenever we talk, she is always telling me about her next trip there. My friend and incredible floral designer, Liza Lubell of Peartree flowers, has made it her mission to spend all her vacation time at the beach in Nosara, Costa Rica, ideally surfing. ![]()
