The older I get the less enthusiastic I am about partying on New Year's Eve. Used to dig New Orleans or Vegas for New Years ... now, like last night, it's all about trying to stay awake until midnight.
Here in Costa Rica, it's basically impossible to NOT wake up at midnight on New Years ... the entire Central Valley goes off like World War III when the clock strikes 12:00. Even the smallest, poorest-looking homes are shooting off fireworks from the street and/or their backyards ... the whole valley for 360 degrees stays lit up for a good solid hour, if not longer. Definitely one of the better "amateur" fireworks displays you'll see.
But, that was about it ... couple of drinks with the better half, watch some football, and fight to stay awake until midnight. Hopefully you guys brought in the New Year with a bit more excitement. Let's hear some wild stories ...
