We also crossed paths with her:
She happened to be staying at the same hotel we were. She kept eyeing me and my trusty camera like the dirty paparazzi, but as I haven't really been a fan since 10 Things I Hate About You, I was unmotivated to introduce myself.
This most perfect of spontaneous trips was only marred by the plane ride home where I had the unfortunate distinction of sitting next to Nasty Man in 14F. His very obvious, audible and never-ending nose-picking had me cringing across the armrest Bruce and I shared in silent horror. The man was digging deep without shame. And flinging it. Silent screaming, anyone? And for the duration of the 3-hour flight, I tried in vain to block out the gnarly scene in my periphery with a hat over my eyes and ipod headphones. I even composed a little haiku to pass the time:
Nasty man on plane.
Picked his nose for three hours.
Flinging stuff. I'm sick.
I was running down the plane aisle by the time we were taxiing at the gate. A long, hot, disinfecting shower was in order upon arrival. So long, Costa Rica.

now u wonder why i will go to costa rica ahead of mexico city lol... i am so jealous!!!! i cant believe the surf was so flat... costa rica is suppose to be one of the most consistent places in the world.
minus the terrible plane ride--it looked heavenly! you guys are so perfectly perfect together
I am so jealous. I have heard Costa Rica is so pretty. That is funny about the guy sitting next to you!
What kind of camera do you have?
Thankfully you blog so we know where you are! love.tutu
where do i even begin with this one?
awesome photos. and where did you stay? so happy for you to escape for a few days. senor bruce: you'll be remembered in heaven for that one. poke matt in the ribs, will ya?
ms. stiles: don't flatter yourself. i think noelle and i are numbered among thousands of others when we say that you peaked at '10 things.' i'm still scratching my head over the bourne stint.
booger man: i laughed out loud. i did. that is heinous noelle. i think i'd rather sit next to a two-year old throwing a tantrum. you could HEAR him rootin' around? oh. vomit reflex.
Um EWWWW! Some people have no shame. I think I just lost my appetite.
But...the rest sounded wonderful. I have to agree that I've never been a Julia Stiles fan, but that says a lot about the resort. You're living the hollywood lifestyle.
LIFE STYLES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS!
30 year birthday...GIRLS TRIP!
oh no. not living the hollywood lifestyle. just the product of having a husband who travels too much - hence: points and frequent flyer miles. it is the only upside.
HOWEVER, a girls trip for our 30th!?! absolutely!!
Hi Noelle,
What a wonderful surprise! We loved Costa Rica - beautiful place. You deserve it!!
Love,
Aunt Marie
okay all i have to say is move over Julia....cause... you be lookin' HOT in that black and white dress number Noe... I bet bruce thinks he has to take you on fancy romantic trips just to keep you around:) just kidding bruce, you know you da man. btw...so impressed by your pic taking abilites lately...you took some great shots. love ya
Now I really want to go to Costa Rica! (Kris has been trying to convince me since he served his mission there) I'm so glad you had a great time and love the pictures.
As for the nasty man...I'm dissapointed you didn't say anything to him...maybe I need to work on you a little bit more.
Oh, and I was never a fan of J. Stiles but it still is cool to run across famous people anyway.
hey so you got the dress??? I love it! Looks like you had a great time. Gross story about the nose picker guy.... too bad you couldn't move seats!!! blech.
Ahh Costa Rica.
you shoulda pretend-flicked back on Mr. 14F. then again, that would be succumbing to his level. yuck. just think, how many people's "flung stuff" is still sitting on that plane, here and there. igh. we fly way too much to ever let myself think too hard about all the dead skin cells and nastiness floating in the air and on the seats when i'm on a plane.
julia stiles? she's always reminded me of a blown-up balloon with pinched facial features. 10 Things I Hate About You was her peak for sure.
as for costa rica, you and dani have both been now. my turn. tell andy he needs to move "travel" to the top of the priority list like i do. people always send out those get-to-know-you lists where you check off all the things you've done in your life, and i need to be able to cross off "ziplining in costa rica" like the rest of the jet-setters (not that i'm really in that category: "wealthy and fashionable people who travel widely and frequently for pleasure" but i can pretend).
