Facing Your Fears in Costa Rica
By Bob Giangrasso, traveler

Fear often surfaces in the most commonplace situations as well as exotic locales. Fear may take the form of spiders and snakes.
It may appear in a darkened alleyway or high atop the pyramids. Perhaps it can occur deep within the recesses of this computer?
Whereas I’m not afraid of heights, I have often been afraid of situations when I just happen to be up high; for instance, flying. How do those things stay up in the air, anyway? Yes, I heard about aerodynamics, but, come on, seriously?
So began our recent trip to Costa Rica aboard a Cessna Grand Caravan, a single engine twelve passenger prop. Arriving at our connecting flight with time to spare (what’s with that?), Bob and I climbed aboard a Sansa Airlines miniature aircraft.
