Day 12 September 26 Gainesville, FL

This morning at 830AM we were met by our driver from Destination Costa Rica for our transfer to the airport for our departing flight to Orlando.  Our Jet Blue flight departs around noon and check in at the International Airport is 3 hours prior to flight time.  Once you arrive at the airport you must go over to pay the departure tax of $28.00 per person, you can pay this in US cash, colones or with a Visa Credit Card.  They do charge a service fee for using your Visa card.  Once you pay this you then check in at the airline and check your luggage and then go through customs.  At the gates there are several areas to shop and to eat.  They do have complimentary wi fi at the airport so that was nice.  Our flight was about 15 minutes late, but it was okay cause we were going home.  We got to Orlando at 5PM, by the time we got through customs in Orlando it was right at 6PM, we then got our shuttle to our car, where it was $102.00 to get our car.  We left rain in Costa Rica and returned to the sunshine state having rain as well.  John drove to Cocoa where I dropped him off and wanting to see Jaylee and having to get to work the next day, I left Cocoa about 730PM and got to Gainesville at 10PM.
