In between Vacation Content
Hopefully everyone is doing okay with all this heat and here in Iowa, the humidity!! I thought I would share my current priority project as it is getting to a point where I’m going to put the finishing touches to it lower on the priority list. I got this boat a couple years before I …
Back!
We made it back. It was a very long day and both flights were full and both had loud children. Noise canceling headphones were good to have! Flying is the only bad part about going on vacation. I got flagged for extra screening today. So I had to get wiped down to make sure that …
Time to Pay the Piper
We have a travel day ahead of us, the bad part about going somewhere far away. Hopefully it will go okay. So far we’re checked in but I have to visit a kiosk or the ticket counter for my ticket, Emily’s came through the app but it told me I have to get it at …
We are on the way out
Hello readers! We have come to the lame duck point in our vacation. We have done all the things we felt like doing and seen a lot. Now we’re just spending time in the pool and at the beach. It’s not bad. It does have a different vibe now. Tomorrow we’ll have start packing up …
ATV
Today we did a private ATV tour with Blue Crab, they are middlemen that just add costs to the trip. We ended up with a company in Brasalito that was across the street from the one we used the last time we were here. That place was closed up though. The road was tore up …
Not much happened today
Hello readers! Today was a easy day on vacation. We walked this morning around town and picked up a couple souvenirs. I got a couple magnets for my collection. I also got an inflatable body board. I’m not sure why I continue to collect them. I used to get t-shirts and shot glasses but switched …
Rough Day at Sea
Today was diving / snorkeling day, it did not go well. Tamarindo Diving was as good as any average shop, the people were very nice and the equipment was used but serviceable. The sea was rough today and I didn’t feel well going out. I did suit up so to speak but my mind wasn’t …
Day at the beach!
We got to spend time at the beach this morning! The water is cool but it wasn’t bad. There are some bigger waves here. After we went back to the apartment for lunch we went and procured us a couple of boogie boards! They are cheap ones, about US $7. Mine is still usable but …
Saturday in Tamarindo
They have a street market here in Tamarindo that happens right next to our hotel. There are all kinds of vendors, fruits and vegetables, smoked meats, ready to eat food, arts and crafts. There also was a lot of “hippie” products like incense, patchouli and other essential oils, happy brownies and little pipes that the …
