10 good reasons why parents should visit

1. mother can speak spanish; father will not feel obliged to listen:- both will be very happy

2. There is an international cricket match scheduled on the polo field in granada. Last year the UK expat team were short of players.......

3. Flying over greenland at dawn and a frozen hudsen bay makes the flight worthwhile.

4. It surely cannot snow again in houston for a another decade or two (last time was 15 yrs ago)

5. luxurious accomodation - from what i've found so far.

6. Cities founded in the 1600, complete with renovated cathedrals and old spanish squares (put granada nicaragua into google and have a look around)

7. When was the last time you walked up an active volcano...? (when I say active, mother, i mean not quite dead yet, not like dangerous or anything)

8. San Juan del Sur

9. Costa Rica.?

10. anyone got any more ideas..............................?
