Due to hurricane Matthew wreaking havoc on our hometown in Georgia, we had to extend our stay in Costa Rica extra nights. As soon as we received our first flight cancellation, I found Monica’s Airbnb listing and sent an inquiry. She replied right away letting us know of availability for my husband, myself and our […]
After a long drive from the Pacific coast through the mountains in the rain during rainy season, we were ready for some rest. We arrived just as the sun was setting and the rain and clouds cleared for a few minutes to allow an amazing view of the volcano. We stayed in the lower level […]
We were traveling with our three teenaged daughters and spent three nights here. Located behind a secure gate, we felt safe enough to sleep with the AC off and doors wide open to feel the ocean breeze flow through the house. Comfortable mattresses fitted with soft cotton linens ensured a great night’s sleep. Bathrooms were […]
Tuesday morning, we left the Southern Pacific Region of the country or where we had been calling home for the past five days. We drove up the coast then headed inland towards the Arenal volcano. Google maps said the trip would take five and one half hours. Well, Google was wrong. While I appreciate the […]
There is a saying that some of the best things in life are free. Today was proof of that for our family. We took about an hour and half to log in to free WiFi at a little restaurant in Dominical. (We did buy some food and coffee… we’re not total mooches) The girls were […]

Sunday morning arrived and it was time to move on to our next accommodations which is located only about 30-40 minutes away from Eric and Kate’s […]
The one main thing Ava wanted to do on this trip was to go ziplining. That was an easy enough request. I have been twice before and it was always a fun adventure. A few weeks ago I made the reservations online for a Saturday morning at 8am. Figuring that would be before the afternoon […]
The sun rises from the other side of the mountain behind us. Watching the sunrise is a little different here than it is on Tybee. The eastern clouds change colors from grey to pink to white as the sun casts its powerful rays over the mountain top and across the ocean white caps. This process […]
We knew it was a crazy idea, but we decided what the heck, we’ll make it work. I had several jobs come in before I had to pack my bags, therefore I was at my computer editing photos and replying to emails for three days straight. I had one last wedding at sunset on Wednesday […]
Rainy days, there have not been too many on Tybee this year. Really, only a couple since spring, and even those were just an occasional shower, not an all day soaker. There were a few in the forecast, but they seemed to scoot around Tybee either to the East or West of us. Locals refer […]
