Cardella Challenge #6

The Tom and Mike show is BACK and they are joined by Kelsey Hill of Full Spectrum Concierge and Property Management to introduce Cardella Challenge #6.  Tourism has slowly been coming back in small trickles but right now the unemployment in the tourism sector is still devastating so we continue to give out food and supplies every week for the foreseeable future.  By the way, the guys go on a walk through tour of the house and they might have found the secret beer stash…

Now that North America and Europe are in the midst of a COLD winter we have another amazing opportunity for you to escape the deep freeze and come on vacation with 10 of your best friends in a beautiful luxury villa in Playas del Coco.  For just a $100 donation you can have the chance to stay a full week here in pure luxury.  We are only offering 100 tickets at $100 each so buy as many as you can to increase your odds.  As Always – EVERY PENNY of the $10,000 that we will raise will go to feed and supply our friends and neighbors in need during this ongoing economic crisis. 

And just like that

Man, time flies doesn’t it? It has been 7 1/2 months since we were locked down, and shut out, from the rest of the world. Yet, as I sit here now, it seems like it was yesterday. So much has happened when we were sure it would be nothing at all. For so long, the world has been on TILT; like a pinball machine, rocked a little too hard to the side. It was all still there, right in front of you; the bells, the whistles; the spinning wheels and the cannon; the secret tunnel, the rubber bumpers; just nothing worked and the lights were no longer on.

When Costa Rica first went into quarantine, it was the middle of our Guanacaste Verano, and the end of the North American winter. The hills were flush with yellow flowers, like a canvas painted with a brush, from the Cortez Amarillo trees. Stunning. What should have been a couple of our busiest months, turned into a ghost town, as everyone was sent home and the airports were closed. You could hear crickets, literally. No one was coming back, time didn’t really matter; so I put my Rolex in the safe. Spending time in my pool, working on my tan, days rolled into weeks. I started working my way through my CD collection; from AC/DC to Foreigner; Genesis to Eddie Money: Night Ranger to Twisted Sister; U2 to ZZ Top and every Van Halen album with David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar’s “I can’t drive 55!” My hair was a mess, but I didn’t care.
