Day 1 in Costa Rica was truly amazing. We woke up pretty early and headed down to eat some breakfast. It was an hour behind, so since we were used to waking up at 7 a.m. back at home, we got up at 6 a.m. We took a short walk down to the resorts restaurant. Since breakfast was included in our stay, that was definitely a plus. It was buffet style, so I thought for sure I would go back up a few times. But no, rice and beans fill you up quickly. And they give you great energy. By the way, the food was amazing. The rice and beans came with a yogurt type sauce, I would never imagine it to be so good, but it was delicious. They also had the softest, sweetest plantains I have ever had. I had tasted plantains before, but these were amazing. They did serve coffee, but that is one thing I was picky on, I needed cream. I have tried multiple times to drink my coffee black, even with sugar, but it's terrible to me. So I just stuck with orange juice. It was rainy out, all morning, with rando...

Thursday morning, March 9th, 2017, we get up at 4 a.m. We hadn't had much sleep the night before because of our adventures in Atlanta the night before. So we took a shuttle to the airport from our hotel and were signing in with the Kiosk by 5:15 a.m. Right on track! We had previously chosen Spirit Airlines to travel to Costa Rica because they were the cheapest by at least a couple hundred dollars. The downside was, you had to pay $50 a piece for carry-on luggage!! How is that even possible? I have flown on different airlines throughout my whole life and never had to pay extra to bring carry-on luggage on the flight. But we paid the fee and moved on.  We thought for sure 2.5 hours would barely be enough with all the people running around in the airport that morning. But we got through security, found our gate right away and took a underground shuttle to our terminal. We had enough time to get breakfast, that made me happy! We got to our gate with still an hour to spare. Yay! Now was...

On March 9th, 2017 me and my husband finally decided to take our long awaited honeymoon. We have two babies, one is 3 and the other is 1, and lots of our vacations have had to be put on hold because of these sweet babies. So we figured it was about time. We flew out of Atlanta, Georgia airport and our flight was supposed to leave at 7:55 am. Since Atlanta is such a huge airport we decided to try and arrive 2.5 hours before our scheduled flight time, which would put us being there at 5:30 am. That's freaking early! Right? Especially when you have a 3.5 hour drive time to get to the airport. That would of put us leaving our home at 2 am! NO! I wasn't going to do it...I talked my husband into leaving the night before and staying at a hotel in Atlanta. I then proceeded into talking him into taking me to the Westin on Peachtree so we could look at all the city lights from atop this 73 floor building overlooking Atlanta. So we were off at 5 p.m. on Wednesday. I was glad to be spendin...
