Hey, everybody, welcome.

And thank you for listening to this episode of Marriage Therapy Radio.

My name is Zach Brittle. I'm here with Laura Heck. Today, Laura lets me tell you all about the couples retreat that I went on by myself. I had a great time. I was in Costa Rica. I was studying with Terry Real and Estera Perel. I learned a lot. I'm still metabolizing most of it. I met some cool people, got to go on a couple of cool adventures,

and I'm looking forward to telling you all about it. But before we start, if you're not following us on Instagram, please go ahead and do that. We're at Marriage Therapy Radio.

I'm looking forward to tell you about my trip.

This is a very cool conversation.

Stick around.

Welcome back.

Welcome back. Welcome back. Yeah, I'm back. I'm back now from Costa Rica. That was crazy.

I know what can I tell you all about it?

I know I'm going to hear all about it because I was getting pictures here I never got a foot photo by the way

you never sent me toes in the sand I did not send you toes in the sand I sent you toes in the

yoga studio where I was listening to estera pro talk about sensuality I didn't see yours yeah you did

do I need to go back and look at photos because Because I don't think I remember seeing your toes.

You're like, where are your toes? And I was like, they're right here in this picture. Yeah, you should go back and look.

All right. Fair enough. Yeah, let's hear all about it. First of all, did it really take you 24 hours to fly to Costa Rica?

It took me 26 hours to get there. So I left my house at like 5 o'clock on a

Friday afternoon and I got there at 9 o'clock local time, which was 7 p.m. in Seattle. So yes,

it took me 26 hours. Gross. I had to fly and then I spent the night at LAX on the floor. Actually, I found a little bench. Yeah. And then... Wait, was that intentional or did you have a flight that got messed up? No, I had a 10-hour layover, and I just was... I was too cheap to get a hotel, and I was kind of figuring... And it wasn't too bad. I mean, I'm old and I should not be sleeping on the floor, but, um, no.

But then I took my flight to Costa Rica.

The airport was 72 miles from the resort.

Uh-huh.
