We are going back!

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

I am happy to report that my husband and I will be celebrating our 5-year wedding anniversary on the beaches of Puerto Viejo.

I found an amazing deal on Taca.com, one so good that I bought the tickets less than 10 minutes after seeing the price. We will be staying for 9 nights, and are really looking forward to doing some of the stuff we missed the first time!

So while we still have a while (we’re not going until December), it gives us a chance to save money. I think we’ll be doing most of our Christmas shopping in Costa Rica!
