Quality Time Left.  I was recently in the USA and Canada again visiting some friends, watching sports; the only reason I really go back anymore truthfully. I do my best to avoid North America from October to April as I just flat out, despise the winter. But the NHL and NFL are played in cold weather and they are two of my favorite sports so I suck it up for the sake of satisfying my cravings, and I try my best not to complain. My friends are all tired of hearing how awesome my life is, how gorgeous the weather is, and what an amazing place Costa Rica is to live, and they really hate when I bash the city they happen to live in; “What a dump!”  But heh; that’s their problem, not mine. They could come join me in paradise, just like you can, but for some reason, so many people just postpone. It is incredible how many people email me, looking for info, inquiring about properties, that I know are NEVER going to come here. There are so many of them that just keep torturing themselves, week in and week out, pretending that someday they will live the life, but never put a plan into place. Maybe they don’t have the fortitude, or the guts to pack up and come; maybe they are all talk and no action; I don’t know. But they keep scouring my website, reading my newsletters, sending me posts; “Don’t give up on me yet, Michael, I am coming.” Dreams just don’t COME true people; you have to MAKE them become a reality. Every time, it is one excuse or another; kids, college tuition, work, the Canadian dollar; blah blah blah. Thanks for the update, I tell them, and I go back to living the dream. They are in the bottom of a rut and won’t ever get out. But as I found out this past week, it can all be over in a minute. Would you be satisfied with your life if it was?

Do you want to travel around Costa Rica on your own but you don’t want to rent a car and drive?  Would you rather not be on a tour with a bus full of strangers?  Do you prefer to travel to and from the Airport in comfort and style?

Now thanks to the new Private Driving Service started by Costa Rica Villa Concierge all of this is possible.

Ever since Tim Kerin came to Costa Rica with the Washington Redskins Cheerleaders for a calendar photo shoot he had in the back of his mind that a private driving service was something that this area needed.  So he formed Costa Rica Villa Concierge.  They imported a 7 passenger Nissan Armada and hired Alison Zook to coordinate the in country part of the business and two experienced, bi-lingual, licensed drivers to provide the personalized service their clients demand.
