We booked our honeymoon with our travel agent today - one week in beautiful Costa Rica!
We'll be leaving very early on the Monday morning after the wedding and spending six nights at the five-star, all-inclusive Paradisus Playa Conchal Resort on the Northern Pacific side of Costa Rica. We will eat and drink to our hearts' content, swim and soak up some sun, and have our choice of all kinds of activities: snorkeling, kayaking, horseback riding, ATV tours, sunset cruises - the whole shabang. 
We'll be venturing away from the resort, too, and that's perhaps what I'm most looking forward to. A whole day trip to Arenal, Costa Rica's most active volcano, and the nearby Tabacon hot springs. 
We're also going to zip line through the rainforests and hopefully see all kinds of wildlife - monkeys and iguanas and parrots (oh, my.) Depending on how much extra money we can save by then - which right now, doesn't look like any, but we'll see - our resort also has a premier golf course on site and a spa that I'd love to visit. 
I am out of my mind excited about this trip. Dave and I have never been on a vacation together before - unless you count a small getaway to the Dells a few years ago. We don't even have passports yet. I think we made a great choice - it'll be a good mixture of relaxation and adventure; an incredible week in a beautiful, beautiful country.
And we'll be MARRIED! Holy crap!
Days til departure: 236
I can't wait!

The wife and I took our honeymoon there which was a homecoming for me. I was born there.
the trip was wonderful, the ocean was spectacular and the people were wonderful.
That is where I wanna die when I die.
Have a blast.

Michele sent me this morning and I was pleasantly surprised. I used to be a regular a long while ago. A lot has changed. I've always wanted to go to Costa Rica. Have a great time.

Sounds marvellous!!
You wouldn't need anyone to carry your bags would you? Personally, I make an excellent porter.
