I am also interested in learning more about Costa Rican culture and seeing as much of Costa Rica&#8217;s natural beauty as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Although I am very excited about this opportunity to study abroad, I will miss my one year old son Dexter. This will be the longest that I&#8217;ve been away from him. It was a difficult goodnight hug tonight because I knew that it would be the last time I hug him for the next 12 days. I will think of him often during this trip.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll spend the next three hours going over the packing list, making sure I have everything.
