When I first got to Costa Rica, I had a problem figuring out the buses. I was fairly new to the travel thing when it came to the bus, but needed transportation. I found that the best bus schedule and most accessible was in the back of my Lonely Planet. Be sure to have a recent one, though, if you're going to use it for the bus schedules as they do change. It gave great maps, told which terminal to go through, and gave a good idea of prices and times. Be careful getting taxis between the bus terminals, though. Take the red ones with the yellow triangles unless you can be comfortable enough to know you won't get ripped off. I paid way too much one time and regretted it later. Oops!

In Miami, I had no problems changing planes and getting to my gate on time considering I had a 3 hour layover. I'm still debating on if I like red-eye flights or not. I like getting to the place early but I never feel rested when I do get there. It …taking a tour bus. We declined since we were more on a time schedule than they were.

Carsten and I picked our backpacks up at the hostel and provisionary refreshed us on the street…changed shirts and stuff. Then we went to the ferry which was supposed to leave at 12:30pm.
