Costa Rica: Part I

The trip there was insanely tiresome... We both worked Friday, Jon had a two hour commute to LA, we were at LAX by 10pm, our flight took off at 1am. We arrived at Dallas at 6am CST, bought food, took the mini monorail to our next gate, Jon took a long nap and I watched the bags. Took off from Dallas at 10am CST and arrived in Liberia at 2pm CST. When we landed I was scared, it felt like the pilot had to slam on the breaks or else it would run out of runway. The pulled the stairs down and we walked to the warehouse looking airport. It was literally an old white warehouse with 3 booths that read "immigration" and 2 huge fans. Luckily we didn't have luggage checked in so our wait was just an hour. Our driver was waiting for us and took us to the end of the road up a hill to Ocotal Beach Resort.

Our hotel room was not your typical sky-rise elegant room, it was humble, one story with your back sliding door leading to the beach. We had 2 pina coladas and explored the rest of the hotel until dinner time. We fell asleep early that night, we were TIRED. Since we didn't have anything booked for Sunday we took it easy and rested.
