ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:
Has my blog helped in any way? Helped find something•brought more EASE? More exposure or business?
I welcome you to show YOUR appreciation for my efforts!
ANY size DONATION is APPRECIATED!

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME starts Sunday - March 8, 2015 (at 2am)



Though we do NOT change our clocks in Costa Rica or Nicaragua - it DOES effect us when calling our friends/family, watching U.S. TV shows, meetings-classes online, etc. in places that do have DST so remember that
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME starts
Sunday - March 8, 2015 at 2am.

So that means that
•  Eastern Time Zone peeps•tv shows will now be 2 hours ahead of us (they might not appreciate you calling them at 9pm our time - 11pm THEIR time!!!).
•  Central Time - 1 hour ahead of us.  
•  Costa Rica & Nicaragua - we're now back to Mountain Time.
•  West Costa/Pacific Time peeps•shows - just 1 hour behind us!!


You might also need to change your time zone on your calendars & cell phone & other programs where it's not automatic & you're currently set on Central Time.


Also, if you know anyone flying on Sunday, at least in the past this can be a confusing day with flights so have them double check.
