Costa Rica: The Jungle and Rain Forest Adventure Begins!

The move completed (FINALLY, about 4:30!) Taylor and I had a couple of hours to relax before heading to the airport for our grand Costa Rican Adventure! Although she made scrupulous lists and schedules of what we were going to do (including allowing for half an hour of sleep on our red-eye!) she was asleep before the plane ever took off about 11:215 - and stayed asleep through the landing in Miami! After a layover we were indeed on our way to Costa Rica! When Tauck picked us up at the airport, we discovered another grandmother and granddaughter who were also arriving for our tour, and Taylor and Mia spent a happy afternoon playing together!
We enjoyed a "welcome drink" on our patio, and then had lunch (have subsisted on a junk food diet the day before!). THe dining room of Playa Hermosa opens onto the beach - and a chicken yard! (Breakfast or dinner, we wondered?) There was other wildlife as well, including this iguana who joined us at the pool...
Tomorrow we are going to take a sailing and snorkeling trip, and then our tour starts officially at 6 p.m. with the "Welcome Dinner."
