Michael Simons 10th Anniversary Costa Rica Party took place as always the first Sunday in December.

One Day or Day One (Mike’s Big Bash 10^th Anniversary)

“One day we are going to move to Costa Rica.”

I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have heard that in my life. Yet so many people continue to procrastinate. I know that in their hearts, they really want to make it happen. Maybe they are scared, maybe they just don’t know how to pull it off, maybe they really don’t have the money, who knows; but they continue to find every excuse in the book to keep putting it off.

“Work needs me for just a couple more years; we need just a little bit more time; we are almost there Mike; don’t give up on us!”

Costa Rica expats and the history of Gitingas Bags

We wanted to tell the story of two friends of ours–Costa Rica expats–who have found their passion and purpose in our little slice of Paradise.  Lisa Martin and Rhonda Cardella come from different backgrounds and parts of the United States but discovered a common ground in Costa Rica and have created Gitingas Beach Bags.  Gitingas was formed as a fusion  of Lisa’s sewing knowledge and Rhonda’s Art Skill.

Their full line of Beach Bags, Hand Bags and Accessories are made of durable materials made to stand up to the sun and sand of Costa Rica’s Beaches and adventures.  Each Bag is adorned with Rhonda’s unique art or with flora and fauna typical of the Guanacaste Region and are designed by Lisa to last.  You can find their Bags at various shops around town as well as on their website gitingashandbags.com

Check out the video where Rhonda and Lisa explain how Gitingas was started in Costa Rica from scratch
