That would be super!! It would be really fun to meet. I know that our girls would have a wonderful time together. We are going for spring break. We have some friends that we are trying to talk into coming with us. It seems like we are planning way to far in advance for our friends and family...

I am so glad that you are going on the horseback riding tour. It sounds amazing!

I know it seems that way, Gem. We did the same thing last year. Started planning in February, actually, for a March 2007 stay at Bosque del Cabo. At the time, Leonardo told me they were already getting requests for DEC. 2007. 22 months out. If you want a particular place, OR at BdC a particular cabina (we did), then that's the way it works. And really, when you think about it, planning a year ahead isn't any different than planning 4-6 months ahead. Things can still happen a month or 6 weeks from Dday. So it doesn't make much difference. . .

By all means, do the horseback. Miguel is fantastic. It was our BEST thing! And we're not horse people. . .
Very reasonable, too, at $35. Usually it's more like $45 or $50 elsewhere.

This has turned out to be a fun thread, and it just keeps on keeping on. Gem, you were the 100th poster! :) HVC, you should be offering prizes since it's your thread! :)

Emily and I are back to the grind of Seattle with memories of monkeys, hot springs, ziplines, Imperials, beans and rice, fried plantains still quite fresh. Basically, we just returned from Jurassic Park.

It was a great trip with so many incredible experiences. We are putting together our notes but wanted to say thanks to all whom have posted here. You advice and well wishes definitely made this trip extra special.

Glad you had fun--looking forward to reading your post!

Yes, Looking forward to hearing about your trip!

When I posted last, I was waiting for the balloons to drop...

MY TURN, MY TURN!!!! :)

Thanks again to all you wonderful people with all your helpful advice!

We're off tomorrow morning, back on June 4th. YAHOO!

Hey HipChick!
I was just thinking of you and wondered if you had left yet. I am glad that you posted so that I could wish you, Bon Voyage! I know that you and your daughter will have an amazing trip.

I'm sure you're snoozing soundly now and dreaming of rainforests, but if by chance you check "the board" in the a.m., just wanted to say Buen Viaje! Have a fabulous time! "see you" when you get back!

I was thinking of Tully this evening and wondering why we hadn't heard from her yet. Then I remembered (as per this thread) that you were next after her to leave. She may be resting up.

Some of our friends just returned Wednesday. Spoke with them by phone yesterday a.m. and she had hilarious stories to tell. Hope she will post them soon.

Enjoy!

hi all, got in late last night (was to be @ 1140pm but ended up being 1am when we landed due to delay in miami). Still kinda brain dead right now but will definitely post a report soon and need to pare down my photos (about 700!). Had a fantastic time of course, saw peccaries (twice!) and lived to tell about it lol. I woke up this am to all 4 cats all around my head :) ~ I think I was missed ;)

My gosh, if I'd awakened to cats around my head, I'd still be sneezing! :) Welcome home. Hey, peccaries! Good for you! Were you out alone as usual? You know why I'm asking! :)

When you've rested up, tell us ALL about it!

Guess we'll be hearing from hvc in a couple days - sure she had a fantastic time.

Yes, I've been wondering about her. I'm anxious to hear her "take" on the Caribbean side. I'll be missing it this year, and I hate it. You know how it is, though, never can do it all!

Hi all! We're at Villa Bonita spending our last night :( and I'm not even going to start to tell you what a fantastic time we had...I'll have to leave you in suspense until I have more time to post when we get back. Just TOO MANY awesome things to say! Love...love...LOVE Costa Rica!

Muchas gracias for all your helpful advice!

Bright and early! Time for some shut eye. . .maybe.

Have a fantastic time, Jill!! :-)
