First timer needs guidance to Costa Rica
First time to Costa Rica with very limited time to see such a rich natural life country. I need a little help because of a half done travel plan to Costa Rica. We are flying into San Jose and flying out of Liberia. Not counting the day of arrival and departure, we have 6 days and would like to see Arena, Monteverde and Tamarindo. Is this too much? Any better ideas?
Here is one plan we have - Parents with 2 kids - 7 and 11 years old.
Day 1 (Friday): Arrive and check into San Jose hotel
Day 2 (Sat.): Check out and go to Monteverde. Do an afternoon or evening/night forest tour
Day 3 (Sun): Check out of Monteverde and go to Arenal area. Afternoon tour or rest
Day 4 (Mon): Full day in Arenal
Day 5 (Tue): Check out Arenal and go to Tamarindo area.
Day 6 (Wed): Stay in Tamarindo
Day 7 (Thu): Check out and travel to Liberia Int'l airport
Should we skip Monteverde? is it too much to do in 6 days?
thanks in advance for your help, community!

I did a similar type trip, with a lot in a few days, including Monteverde, in 2008. Here is the trip report to give you a fell of the pace and how much you can do. http://www.mightymac.org/costarica/
