Costa Rica Day 1: Travel Day

After a long period of family stress due to heightened work, and a shorter holiday period with V's fam in CA for Xmas, we said so long to the O family and packed our bags for a family vacation to Costa Rica.  We started today with a 4.30am wake up in CA, arriving at LAX at 7 ish.  We had enough time for a crappy meal at the Point The Way restaurant in Terminal 6 (never go there!) before boarding our 9am flight to Liberia.




The flight was uneventful - we snacked, watched movies, and dozed.  We landed in Liberia at around 5pm and grabbed a shuttle to the airport hotel for the night.  We're anxious to start our vacation, but driving on inconsistent roads in a foreign country in a rental car at night seemed like a bad idea.  So, we're at this hotel for one night, where we kicked off our trip with cocktails at the poolside restaurant. 


After we ordered, H and I returned to the room so she could change into her swimsuit and I into my flip-flops.  She swam after eating her nachos while S and I found destinations for our drive into the mountains.

We start for reals tomorrow!
