COSTA RICA!!! BUCKET LIST..Check!

Hello all!!!
We had the INCREDIBLE opportunity to go to Costa Rica!! Yes, one of my Bucket List items...CHECK IT OFF !!! My Cousin Kevin is awesome!! He gets a house for FREE every year and this year..WE WENT DOWN!! OMG!!! DREAM COME TRUE!!
Wasn't near long enough, but really SUPER AWESOME..makes us want to go again!!

First of all, Kevin and his husband fly first class everywhere, whereas, Pat and I fly with the chickens and goats. Sooooo, Kevin and my mom surprised us with 1st CLASS To Costa Rica!! We flew out of LAX on Alaska Airlines. Parked our car at my mom's house in Santa Monica and she got us an UBER BLACK to the airport..Rockstar Status!! OMG...! What an experience that was! First you get the 1st Class Lounge with Food and Booze are free... then you get on the plane and....FOOD and BOOZE FREE!! (not free per say...it's built into the first class price..but still)!!


It was a beautiful flight. 5 hours from LAX to Liberia.


This was an historic flight. Pat used an Airplane bathroom for the first time because we had a LOT of beer..!! HAHAHA!!

When you land, you get your bags, then go through Immigration. My cousin got us a Shuttle to the house..1 1/2 drive to Nosara...45 minutes on a dirt road. So fun!!! We had a "BEER" stop, potty break, beer stop and potty break...HAHHAHA!! 

Then we made it and it was all worth it!!!
May I introduce you to, Buenda Onda, Nosara Beach Costa Rica
You can rent it on VRBO..Link is above..
OMG!!!
























See.. ? toldya! Every room has it's own AC unit and every bedroom has it's own bathroom and access to the backyard with the pool!

Vacation has started!! Officially when we walked in!!

Fridge full of beer! And we were good!


WOOHOO!!!
Here we go!
Kevin rented a golf cart for the week so we got to jam around in that!! Super fun!






 We went shopping at the grocery store to pick up stuff. We were in charge of Pool toys!!
This was a hit!

 Watermelon float!!! A lot of fun was had by all!
Our days consisted of, wake up, clean pool, go in pool, eat, drink repeat...



This night was a great one!! Had so many laughs and learned a lot about my crazy family...Here we are doing Tequila Shots with a lot of beer and whiskey!!


We got to see jungle wildlife while just walking around and sitting on the back patio!!





 So that was fun...Monkeys and Cuatis...Oh My!!

On our last night there, we went to a restaurant RIGHT on the beach at sunset and it was super Gorgeous!!











Our last sunset in Costa Rica was Bonita!!! 

This trip makes us want to go back and as soon as we can!! 1st Class both ways this time!!!

Enjoy the Ride!!!
