The bulk of our trip (9 days) was booked through a Gate1 Travel fly and drive package which included hotels and breakfasts. They were extremely flexible in allowing us to add two days to the 7 day package to slow down the trip to our liking. We were also able to book our car through them for the entire time. The hotels were amazing. Highly recommend--sign up for their weekly deals to be emailed to you. http://www.gate1travel.com/costa-rica-travel
During the second week we stayed on a homeaway near Montezuma. http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p240014 Here is my review: PARADISE WITH WIFI 5 of 5 My husband and I, recently retired, spent an entire week at Sol y Luna. From the moment we arrived I knew we had found paradise--and of course any great paradise also has wifi! Patricia provided us with details instructions on the area that provided a framework to do as little or as much as we wanted during our visit. On those days we felt super active we went zip-lining (yes, I actually did it!), took surfing lessons, walked to Cabuya Island, hiked Cabo Blanco, and took a snorkelling trip to Tortuga Island. Just as special were the days we spent thirty minutes watching leaf cutter ants, hung out with the capuchin monkeys or bought the perfect piece of fish from the local fishermen. If you are looking for the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation--book this rental now--before the secret is out! Green Season

Last night Dad and I headed out after supper to hunt for Costa Rican land crabs. It was a beautiful Costa Rica evening with hundreds of fire flies hovering over the meadow across the road from our jungle home. Flashlights in hand we scoured the dirt roads until we found our critter of the day. Only about four inches across she is know for her determination. Although she is a land crab she will head in a straight line through just about anything to bring her eggs to the beach. Today I mustered a little of this determination myself as your father and I went zip lining. Video will follow in the morning, but don't be disappointed that there is no screaming--I loved it. Prior to going I had a reoccurring dream that the instructor would take one look at me and say, "can someone get the heavy rope?" Well, that didn't happen. Pedro, who I'm pretty sure was assigned to babysit me, was charming and patient. We did nine lines and I learned something about zip lining--it's not the "zipping" that kills you--it's the stairs. My biggest near-death was on the last line. Somehow my speed got all out of control, my hand came off the line, I started spinning--Oh! Oh! Do you know what I did? I let the instructor waiting for me at the other end reel the brake out because he knew how to handle the situation--he understood the big picture. God lesson? Yup--it was for me. Hide me now Under your wings Cover me Within your mighty hands When the ocean rise and thunders roar I will soar with you above the storm Father you are King over the flood I will be still and know you are God Find rest my soul In Christ alone Know His power In quietness and trust When the ocean rise and thunders roar I will soar with you above the storm Father you are King over the flood I will be still and know you are God You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom. |
