I’m down in Tucson, Arizona for a very special occasion. Our Costa Rica Adventurous Wenches (aka the CRAWs) from our 2005 trip got together here for a reunion. It was a great occasion!

We had people fly in from New York, California, Canada, and more. Delores (the Tucson local) handled all the arrangements, and kept us enticed during the months of waiting with glorious desert photos. It seemed like we all just picked up from where we left off — not like 2.5 years had gone by since the last time we were together. What a wonderful group of women!

What about toucans? A couple of people sprang surprises… Lynne created a stained glass masterpiece using tiles she purchased in Costa Rica, and presented it to me to hang at Adventurous Wench. She brought a special suitcase all the way from Canada with this VERY carefully packed. Susan had gifts for everyone — Christmas ornaments commemorating our reunion. How sweet is that? You’ll notice that both of these feature toucans, which is also the trip design for our Costa Rica trips.

We had a great time reminiscing about Costa Rica, catching up on each other’s lives, and exploring the desert. And of course plenty of fine food and drink!

As one of the CRAWs who couldn’t make it said, “Adventurous Wenches, Awesome Women”. How true!

On our Costa Rica women’s adventures, you’re bound to see colorful toucans, along with a myriad of other tropical wildlife. Maybe you’ll meet some awesome CRAWs too!
