Our Costa Rica itinerary is basically set. We're leaving Sunday, landing in San Jose and avoiding the city, heading directly for a Heredia, a town in the midst of the coffee plantations. Then we head for three nights in La Fortuna at the foot of the Volcan Arenal. Then two nights in the cloud forest area around Monteverde. And we're going to wind up the trip with a few days on the beach in Montezuma from where we fly back (fa'afetai le Atua) to the capital and fly home.
It's a shart trip, only 10 days, so we can't do everything, but I think we're making the most of the time and it should be a great (and well needed) holiday.
Sounds like a great vacation. Glad to read that you're returning to your roots. Travelling. I'm sure it will be a return to splendor.
