Hi debbieandnorris
You will really like this holiday, once i settled in (as i was a little nervous about this trip being my 1st worldwide trip with JY) i had a wonderful time. My least favourite part was San Jose as there was not a lot to see, but all the hotels were lovely along with all the trips. We had great weather with only a few hours of rain! The turtle watching was really good if u get the chance.
Pointers:
if you take US dollars, make sure you have small notes as a lot of the places would not except large notes and you get change back in colones. Ironically when i got my money the agent gave me small notes so i was alright! I wouldnt take bigger than $50 notes.
take a torch - useful for the turtle watching and in the evenings.
definitely take waterproofs - and some clothes you dont mind getting a little muddy on walking and boat trips.
take trainers/shoes you can easily walk in - some of the terrain was very up and down and damp under foot.
Any questions or anything just ask - wish someone could have given me some pointers prior to going!
Have a fab time
Lucinda
