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 …

Last Day
Today was our last full day in Costa Rica. Our flight leaves tomorrow around 2pm, so I’m hoping I have time to swing through the Farmer’s Market quickly in the morning. Our taxi doesn’t come until 10am so we should have a little bit of extra time. This morning, we picked up a few souvenirs …
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 …
Lemon Pie
Well, I’ve had three of these little lemon pies in the last 4 days. They are delicious. I think the meringue is toasted marshmallow cream. We found a food truck park near the beach. One of them sells mini-lemon pies. It also has mini-chocolate lava cakes and those are also good. I’ve had some delicious …
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 …
Snorkeling
Bill and I went snorkeling and got sea sick today, so it was a mixed day. I’m sitting in a bean bag by the pool right now and I still feel like I’m swaying back and forth on the water. We got picked up at 6:45 this morning and headed out around 7am. It was …
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 …
