Wow, weather is so perfect! that's the thing that you think of first. I never saw a temperature sign anywhere the whole time we were there, unlike Minnesota where you see one every mile.
The native people, they call themselves Tico's and Tica's, were very friendly and so nice.
My wife Laura and I first spent the first night in the capital, San Jose.
The next morning we headed to the Volcano Arenal. We went just 100 miles, but the road are so bad, it took 4 hours to get there....
We stayed three nights at Lost Iguana, it was unbelievability beautiful. Situated up against a steep rain-forest,we were facing the Arenal volcano 2 miles away. Check out the their website, I totally recommend you going there.

Then off to "mountain in the clouds" Monte Verde for 2 days of walking around in a higher altitude bird watching and handing out.
Then another 3-4 hour van ride to the Beach!
Next stop, Hotel Playa Hermosa for the last four days along a beach, the perfect place to relax and unwind before returning to the end of a Minnesota winter.

10 days of vacation bliss, can't wait to get back there again!
