Our trip started out with dad's rendition of On the Road Again (we had to drive to SFO), and horseplay in the backseat. Other than the singing, our journey was flawless. Flights were on time, no luggage lost, everyone was nice and helpful, and our driver met us as planned! Despite all this I think it was our hardest travel day ever. Trading in a good night of sleep in exchange for a drive to San Fran, waiting til midnight to catch our flight to Texas, a layover, and finally arriving in Costa Rica was exhausting. We seemed awake enough to eat lunch, but could barely move in the heat ("real feel" 100 degrees) and then we all passed out for the afternoon. As if it isn't bad enough that we never stepped foot on the beach - and we are staying at a beach front resort - the worst of all was breaking my #1 rule - to watch the sunset every night. Luckily we are staying on the top floor so we saw most of it, but we weren't on the beach with foofoo drink in hand.
We got lucky with our condo. Everyone gets their own room and bathroom - except Greg and I but that's ok because our bedroom is almost the size of the entire upstairs. And the view from the 3 balconies is priceless! While we went to the grocery store, the kids found the pool which I think I read is the biggest in the country; it will be fun to try out the swim up bar.
I saw more than enough critters already. On our walk I had to jump up 3 feet to avoid the 3-foot snake. Lovely. Hoping that was the first and last, and extremely glad I had a flashlight so it wasn't wrapped around my leg. (Oh, maybe that is why Tauck said to bring a flashlight!!). The other critter is the hamster- size cockroach sharing our kitchen. I hope we still have food left in the morning.
Time to call it a night!
