Why Costa Rica?

People always ask me, “Why Costa Rica?”  As it may surprise you, I don’t answer “Why not?”  Although I’m usually very tempted. 

Years ago I worked in the corporate world ad was one of those guys who used the first 10 days of his two week vacation just to finally relax and enjoy myself, then I used the last two days tensing up getting ready to go back to work.  That’s a total of two days of enjoyable vacation time and frankly that sucks!

It was an incredibly beautiful day when our plane landed in Costa Rica.  The flight was amazing as far as views and weather were concerned.  When we landed, my wife and I deplaned and were a bit taken back by the high temperatures, myself not adapting to high temperatures as they make me rather miserable.  Originally I thought that what was wrong with me was either the heat or humidity, but I was wrong…way wrong.

Within an hour or two from landing, my wife asked me if something was wrong.  I said, “Nothing, I’m fine.  I mean, really fine.”  As a matter of fact I had never been so fine on vacation before.  What seemed to have happened is that I unknowingly decompressed and relaxed.  It was and is an amazing feeling, to be in a land that is so mellow and low key that a person instantly winds down within minutes of arriving.  I went on to have one of the most relaxing and enjoyable vacations of my life.  So began an incredible journey to share this magnificent experience with the world.
