But I'm going to skip it because I am still in KY, land of the Gigantically Obese. On the health and well-being scale, Kentucky would be dead last. At least, I'm hoping they would be.

YOU probably know this stuff, but I'm continually flabbergasted at the people who don't. Flabbergasted. 1. Costa Rica is NOT an island.
