Jan. 21 - Back to Costa Rica

“And then there is the most dangerous risk of all — the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.” – Randy Komisar

Last year I did a blog post about traveling...what it is and how it makes a person feel. Traveling is life, it's unpredictable, it's freedom, it's like a drug – the more you travel the more you want to travel, it's the exploring of new places, having no limits and being who you want to be. All those statements are very true for Stan and myself, so it's time for a little adventure, a little walking on the beach, a little relaxation and most of all the exploring of somewhere new.

Last January we flew to Costa Rica, it's an amazing little country full of diversity. It has mountains, cloud forests, rainforests, beaches, volcanoes, waterfalls and exotic birds and wildlife. The people are warm and friendly, the food is very good...and it's a short 3 1/2 hour direct flight from Houston. For all these reasons we've decided to go back this year. We spent our first trip to Costa Rica exploring the area north of San José, it's full of rainforests, volcanoes and hot springs. This year we're going to head west of San José to the Puntarenas Province, the central and southern part of the province to be exact. We're going to explore the little towns of Quepos, Dominical and Uvita. There'll be waterfalls to explore, national parks to visit, beaches to relax on, lots of monkeys to watch and even a river rafting adventure to enjoy...if we're lucky. I'll try to post as often as I can, so come along on the adventure with us.
