In December 2016 I visited Costa Rica with my daughter Sophie for a couple of weeks. I was meant to go with my wife, Bev, but unexpected work commitments intruded on her availability. Our accommodations for a holiday in Costa Rica were all booked and paid for, and Sophie was in Mexico with time on her hands, so I shifted plans and made arrangements for Sophie to meet me in Costa Rica.
