I just had to eleaborate on this post. I'm way to excited. This is going to be the best 30th birthday ever! So I booked our airline tickets today. Not bad...the price was pretty reasonable. Two tickets cost just about as much as we have paid to go to Europe. Now I gotta book day tours and hotels. Here's the itenerary as is in my head.
1 - Rest and relax since we arrive on a red eye, hopefully go see Irazu Volcano
2 - Start our 2 day rafting adventure. Stay at the lodge in a riverside bungalow.
3 - more rafting and drive up to Saripiqui
4 - Kayking or similar activity
5 - Drive to Peace Lodge, stay there for a night (all rooms have an outdoor jacuzzi!) visit the Paos Volcano and Waterfall Garden.
6 - Drive to Arenal - still deciding on the hotel, but maybe Tabacon since its my birthday timeframe. Go to the hanging bridges and hot springs.
7 - Horseback ride to La Fortuna waterfall
8 - Waterfall Rappelling!!!
9 - Transportation to Monteverde Cloud Forest - hiking
10 - Zip Lines! and Bridges! A great way to end the vacation
11 - Time to go home, but the flight isn't until evening so we'll sleep in and sightsee on the way back to San Jose.
Post from Aug 6th:
In October we will be heading to Costa Rica for 10-11 amazing and adventurous days. I am so excited I can barely contain the excitement. The itinerary is still being figured out. But right now it looks like we will be leaving on the 4th of Oct and returning on the 14th of Oct. The 11th is my 30th birthday. And I wanted to celebrate it in a way the symbolizes me. I always describe my personality as "active". I love doing anything that doesn't require sitting down! It is so incredibly hard for me to sit in front of a tv for over an hour, unless I'm doing something else. It doesn't matter if its laundry or dishes, I just don't like to sit still. So this vacation will be packed with adventure. We will start with touring a volcano park, then head off for 2 days of white water rafting, then maybe some white water kayaking. We'll then have a rest day while we tour another volcano and got to a waterfall garden park. Then it's back to adventure...kayaking, horseback riding, hot springs, zip lines, waterfall rappelling, mountain biking, and hiking!!! I can't wait. I'm sure most of you are thinking I'm going to totally wear Dave out...and maybe I will, but he's totally up for the vacation style ( I think!). I just hope we get to see monkeys and sloths while we are there. They are so incredibly cute! While in Costa Rica I think we are going to stay at the nice Tabocan Resort! It's got hot springs right there, nice rooms, and all of them have views of the active volcano (arenal). I think my tripod somehow needs to make this trip!
