Day 16

Up early because we were too excited to sleep. Today was the day we had been waiting for - fly to Guanacaste, CR. We said "hasta luegs" to Liz and headed for the airport.



Bags and bodies on the scale first, then we were waiting for the puddle jumper to arrive. We were nervous because a cow had wandered on the runway. A man shimmied out and shooed it away so our plane could land. I guess nobody wanted ground-beef. har har har.

This quick 20 minute flight to San Jose was so much better than our other flight, but still more than just a little nerve-wracking. We only had 10 minutes in between flights - a quick run to the bano and grab some peanuts to up the blood sugar & we were off again. A 45 minute flight to Tamarindo, culminating with the most gorgeous view of the beach while approaching the landing strip. The moment we've been anticipating has arrived - JW Marriott/Playa Mansita time!!




The only way we survived the four long nights at the Cabinas Pedro Miguel was anticipating the moment of arriving at the JW. It's bittersweet that our last stop on our incredible 3 week vacay is here. We wandered around the grounds and ended up having dunch (or linner, if you will) at the azul grill overlooking the beach/pools. At dunch/linner, Kim, Susan, MK & I all had some reflection and share time about our favorite and least favorite days of the trip so far. One of our favorite/funny story that we haven't shared yet is when a cow charged our taxi-van, relampagos & the 3 sizes of Jose's - pequeno, mediano, & grande. So many vacas all around. It seems like we've been here so long but it's gone so fast. All I know is, I could get used to a permanent vacation & I definitely do not want to go back to school/work.
