Costa Rica Day 7 (May 21) - Adios

After six long, exciting days, it was time to begin our journey back home. We packed our bags, checked out of our Royal Service suite, had our "all-inclusive" wristbands cut off our wrists (sad day), and jumped in the shuttle for the final ride to Liberia International Airport.

Costa Rica Day 6 (May 20) - Relaxin'

Our last full day at the resort was full of relaxation (and denial that we would have to leave the next day...). We slept in, spent time near the pool, made a new friend, ate a light lunch, and invaded the spa for a 30 minute back and neck massage (despite our disappointment with the Swedish full body massage from earlier in the week). 

We were both a little sunburned from our deep sea fishing trip the day before

Costa Rica Day 5 (May 19) - Deep Sea Fishing

"Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming..."

Somehow, I was able to get Carolyn out of bed early AGAIN the next morning for our deep sea fishing trip. Since she was able to demand adventure and the zip line, I figured I could demand deep sea fishing. Our charter was out of Tamarindo Beach, which was just a quick 15 minute drive from our resort. We were late getting to the beach because the other couple taking the shuttle with us figured they could take their time...

This would be Carolyn's first deep sea fishing trip, and I couldn't wait to see her reeling in those lines!

 We finally arrived at Tamarindo Beach
