After last nights encounter with our bipolar Airbnb host we were ready to get moving. We had cereal and juice for breakfast that we purchased the night before, grabbed our pre packed bag and headed for the marina where JadeTours is picking us up. The van picked us up right on time. We picked up [...]
Honeymooning in Costa Rica - Day 13 David's Place in Quepos Our time at the all inclusive Flamingo Resort is over, but checkout isn't until noon, so we will get one more omelette, one more chiliguaro and one more shower. We bought a few gifts from Cecilia on the beach. All of the beaches in [...]
Honeymooning in Costa Rica - Days 11 & 12 Flamingo Resort I've been catching up on blogging with our downtime by the pool. Not much has happened the past few days, the typical resort activities, swim up bars, swimming in the ocean and coming back to hot showers. The food is fantastic and the pizza [...]
Honeymooning in Costa Rica - Day 10 Coco Loco 4th of July We woke up in our warm humid Cabina Blanca and packed up for our trip to Quepos, 5 hours south. We ate more left overs on the roof and said goodbye to Azuzu the cat. We didn't realize how far Quepos was and [...]

Honeymooning in Costa Rica - Day 6 Potrero Time to head to the west coast. We were going to try and SUP on lake Arenal through a rental company called Tico Wind. GPS took us down a muddy road that seemed less traveled the further down we got. By luck we passed two local that [...]
Honeymooning in Costa Rica - Day 5 Baldi Hotspring At the base of Arenal volcano and a few kilometers from La Fortuna are at least a dozen hotspring resorts. Tabacon is well known as the first and is the most expensive. From what I can tell they are all in the same price range for [...]
