| Greetings,
Fall is always a great time to water ski! Muscles are strong
and timing is good. I really enjoy watching so many skiers ski
so well this time of year.
Good Skiing!

| COME
SKI IN COSTA RICA |
|
Costa
Rica is an adventurer's paradise. We fell in love with
Costa Rica on our very first visit in January 2001. This
Central American country is friendly, relaxing,
tropical, beautiful and full of adventure. We liked
Costa Rica so much , we decided to buy a villa and share
our adventures with friends and family. Villa Buena Vida
is our luxurious 9,000 square foot, 6 bedroom private
home. It is located in the heart of the country (halfway
between the Pacific and Caribbean Oceans) on a
five-acre, fully-gated, private compound. The Villa is
available to guests on a very individual plan. It can be
rented by the room or by the entire house for an
unforgettable private get-away.
