Costa Rica...here we come!!!

It has been about 5 years since DH and I have been on a vacation. The last vacation was a monumental vacation. A month in Europe. 8 countries and 18 cities. It was one of the best trips of my life and let's just say I have been on a few.

We decided it was time to check out the tropics. Michael was kind enough to give me free reign to pick the location. That is why I love the man so. :) I started looking into the Dominican Republic, then found Puerto Rico. From Puerto Rico I thought maybe Belize. No, the beaches were not quite what I was looking for. I took a short tour of Nicaragua. He freaked on that location. I finally ended up on the Northern Coast of Costa Rica. Playa Grande!!!!

Oh Playa Grande. For those of you who know me. You know that I am a beach freak. I could not go on vacation in a tropical location without a beach and a good one at that. I am absolutely crazy in love with beaches and water. This beach is extra special in that the endangered leather back sea turtles come to nest here. Can you believe they can grow up to 7 feet!? OMG. That is one huge turtle. Here is a picture of the beach.


We are going to spend 10 days there. It almost seems to be good to be true. The best part about the trip is that it is pretty much free. Thank you Capital One for all those points/miles. You will never know that happiness your credit card company has brought me!!

I will post more about Playa Grande SOON!
