Traveling to Costa Rica

All our bags are packed, we're ready to go...excited for our trip to Costa Rica for Thanksgiving break.  

One suitcase was filled with snack food.  Another with wetsuits, masks and snorkels, and one for the drone. :)  

We got to the airport with plenty of time before our flight and had time to explore and had dinner in the lounge before heading out.  We got to the gate 30 minutes before our flight and were surprised to find everyone already boarded and them calling our names.  

Traveling went smoothly.  An overnight flight to Panama, in which everyone actually got some sleep and then a long layover before getting on another flight to Liberia.

After meeting up with Donna (who had gotten to the airport a few hours before us on a different flight, we all picked up rental cars and drove to Rio Celeste Hideaway.  We were glad it was still daylight as the road to the hotel was quite bumpy with narrow bridges for the last few kilometers.

We had just enough time to hike to the river before dinner.

Which required crossing some rickety bridges.

But it was worth it to see the gorgeous blue coloring of the river.  The hike back was in the dark.  Dinner at the hotel followed by a swim in the pool before everyone crashed for the night.
