Travel updates and interesting activities
Good day everyone!! Today I got to do a shore dive! I have to say I like shore diving more than most of my boat dives. I think some weren’t bad but the water was calm and clear. The difference is a boat dive is where they take you out to where you will dive, …

This morning we took a ride on the scooter to get some colones from the ATM and then I wanted to go see about diving. I’m glad I checked, Fransisco said they got a 4 day window for diving and it closes Saturday. He said they may be able to squeeze in a dive early …
I still don’t have any pictures, but Bill should be pulling some off of his GoPro. I bought a new Kodak underwater camera, but it doesn’t take good pictures, so I’m planning to send it back. Maybe I’ll get a GoPro too. We had a pretty fun day. We had errands to run this morning. …
Emily got to use her new boogie board yesterday! The sea was rough!! Waves were tall and rolling in fast! As she mentioned our first location we were waved off due to riptides. They will pull you out to sea and it can be a long swim back. We moved to where there were lifeguards …
I have another relatively short post tonight and no pictures, which I realize is disappointing. I need to take my camera more. This morning, Bill and I went snorkeling at Puerto Viejo. The water in Costa Rica is never super clear but it wasn’t bad. I saw some baseball-sized jelly fish – one pink and …
Our trip is now moving along literally and figuratively. We went down this morning and got ourselves some wheels, little Honda scooter. Top speed is 75 kph or 46.6 mph. Most the speed limits are either 40 kph in town and 60 kph in between towns. They also slow just before the bridges to 40 …
I don’t have a lot to say for today so this will be a short post. We made it to Playa Cocles around noon today. It took about 3.5 hours. However, we figured out why it potentially takes a lot longer. On the road to get here, there are a bunch of one way bridges. …
Happy New Year!!! Our second day of vacation started off with breakfast at the Sleep Inn, same as you would expect back in the states minus the plantain and papaya. Ivan came through for us and our driver was waiting for us when we came out to check just before 9. The drive was just …
Hello All: Bill and I are back in Costa Rica. We had a relatively smooth trip today with a minor snag at the end. We booked a hotel at Playa Cocles. We looked up the distance between San Jose and Playa Cocles before we left and Google assured us that it takes about 3.5 hours. …
Howdy everyone!! Hopefully everyone enjoyed the holidays and are going to enjoy a fabulous New year!! This is my third time traveling with Emily to Costa Rica. We have been to the western coast twice, this time we are trying out the east coast. The Caribbean side! I’m excited, it’s supposed to be less touristy …
