We Have Arrived


Sooo happy to be off the plane!

Not only did our whole group make it to Costa Rica, all our luggage did too.



After long lines at customs. immigration and the currency exchange, our tour guides greeted us with sunny smiles and put us on their luxury buses to take us to our hotel in San Jose.

Arriving at our hotel, Casa Conde.


Happy to be done with our travels for the day.


Relaxing at the patio restaurant.


Sam is thrilled with her lunch (which was delicious, no matter what you think of the look on her face.)


Our hotel is a number of quaint, vine-covered buildings around a central plaza. It is completely self-contained, with only one entrance/exit, its own security, restaurant, pool, jacuzzi, saunas, and exercise room.


The restaurant overlooks the blue-tiled pool.


After 24 hours of travel, a cool swim was welcome.


The weather is humid, but not too hot, with a gentle breeze -- perfect for relaxing outside.

The fruit juice if great!


We are touring in the lap of luxury!
