Snowbirds

We finally made a decision, flights are booked, reservations are made, scuba lessons are scheduled...we are going to Costa Rica Oct. 27th-Nov.3. I simply cannot wait. We are headed down south with Ty & Holly and Maeve & Brad. I have already made a list of all the volcanoes, beaches, cities, rivers, national forests, turtle reserves, climbs, and cathedrals that I want to visit. We are staying at The Sanctuary, and I plan on devoting at least one day to kayaking it's tree-lined river that ends at the mouth of the beach.

That's right, I cannot wait to get the flip out of here for our escape! Costa Rica here I come! I'm totally pumped ditch the laptop, cell phone, and all of my accounts for the week. Borrow Holly's scuba equipment for your classes. I cannot wait to get on the airplane!

YAY! I had the best time in Costa Rica! I totally recommend a guided walking tour of Manuel Antonio National Park, if you're on the west coast. I never would have seen one sloth, let alone THREE, without our awesome guide who learned English by watching tv!

It's going to be a partaaay!!! I'm so ready to explore Costa Rica and I'm so glad you have already done some research. Did you read www.tripadvisor.com yet? It was nice to see some of the other guests comments and suggestions for the place we're staying at and the general area. We're going to have a ball!

Thanks for the invite.

Mia - you are the ones going to California without us. We are spending about 1/4 of what you guys are spending in California.

I'm not going to California. I'm sacrificing so my wife and kids can go. Anyones welcome to come to Hawaii with us.

Oh....I see how this works now. When the family gets so big you have to have two options for vacations. Disneyland with kids and a Costa Rica Adventure. Hmmm....which one would I choose ? Both sound fabulous and I love that the OTHER HALF has planned their own adventure together. I love reading all your stories...

Carly said...

Moose, you are more than welcome to come...just let us know.

Who is Moose? I thought that he changed his name to Dyson and was on the Dr. Phil show because he couldn't control the "hunter" within. Are we talking to one of the Saleh's?
