Manuel Antonio National Park, Costa Rica

This is a MUST-DO Bucket List adventure to add to your travel wishlist and Costa Rica itinerary!! 5am alarm was totally worth it! Our condo in Bejuco Beach is about an hour away from the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park and we were meeting...

Bejuco Beach & Macaws!

We let everyone sleep in this morning after such a long travel day yesterday. Of course some birds or maybe a monkey were noisily chattering outside at about 6am, but we got back to sleep and got up about 8:30. Can’t beat the view… First...

Next Stop, Costa Rica

We debated taking a big trip this year… Especially since we already know we’ll be traveling to pick up our missionary son this summer. So, Superman and I thought about going somewhere just the two of us for a week. And then the idea...

All packed up and ready to head back to Bangkok… We checked out of our condo and drove up the coast making our way slowly to the Phuket airport. Check out the Surin Beach viewpoint. Just gorgeous! We are going to miss this place! We stopped...
