Waking up at 5 in the morning is never fun. Today would not be an exception. I had to be up to catch the bus to Golfito. Unfortunately that means gettign the 5.30 bus. I have previously mentioned the painfully bumpy road that the bus must go along. It is far worse when the bus is over crowded and …

Celebrated my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary by taking a cruise with my family through the Panama Canal and spending a few days in Costa Rica.

So here it is, our second night out. Blake and i met up with some Aussies at the hostel who were really cool. We all decided to hit up the bars later that night after exploring the city for ourselves. I hit it off with this Aussie guy named James. His personality was just like mine, so we ended up…

Everytime I go to Costa Rica, it is always a great experience. There is an adventure to be had everytime that creates memories that will last a lifetime. The scenery of Costa Rica is incredible, from the mountains to the beaches it has something for everyone.

December in Costa Rica was a nice break from the freezing cold temps in MN. Only wish it had been warmer there. Definitely will be returning!!!!

So...somehow, I have lost the photos I had saved to my computer, of the Museo de Los Nin~os'... Bummer, but thankfully, I had uploaded them, after taking them last September, onto my Facebook site...thanks goodness for FB. Here are the links to the albums :D http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php…

We only had 10 days in Costa Rica and found exactly what we were looking for, surf and adventure. Currently under construction...OK...I've realized I don't like writing all that much, so if you've got questions please ask and please check out eric's blog from the trip http://www.travbuddy.com/travel-blogs/12094

In 2007 I took a tour of Costa Rica with Caravan Tours.  It was an all inclusive tour and lasted 10 days.  The guide was very knowledgeable and made all of us feel comfortable.  There were about 25 of us in a bus with seats for 44 so we had lots of room.  Every other day wa…

Well I have not written in a while. Right now I am sitting on a 1st class bus and enjoying a little better transportation than usual. Usually I can not move and am sitting between 2 other people on a retired school bus. I am heading to Costa Rica and let me tell you this trip has been an adventu…

For years I always wanted to come to Costa Rica - and it was worth every day! The nature is of great beauty and compared to other middle and south american regions all is impressively clean and well-organized. The people are self-concious, friendly and open-minded to foreigners who want t…

My fiancé and I spent 7 months seeing the world. We travelled to 20 countries in three continents and loved it! We took turns writing our blog, so one day it's me,one day Fab. It's a work in progress, so keep checking back!

I was born and raised in Guayaquil, Ecuador. I've traveled to several places in Latin America (LA) and all the capitals seem the same to me. That is why I made a true effort to skip San Jose. Unfortunately, the travel gods were not on my side and made me stay a night in Costa Rica's capital.Granted…

After leaving Chicago at 6am, and a layover in Miami, we arrived in San Jose at around 1:30 local time.  We set up transportation from the airport and after we cleared customs, we found our transportation guy standing with a sign with our name on it.  We used a private company called "Any…

I've had very little alone time or internet time this week to keep up with my blog-sorry guys! I'll try to fill you in as best as I can...On Monday Mandy and I had orientation and took a class to learn to teach English. We were assigned to a local neighborhood called Tibas (it's actually a slum). W…
