Tiny plane, big fear

In an effort to show appreciation and avoid gallo pinto one more time, my mom offered to cook breakfast for our host family. She made french toast and it was a hit. We then called a really large cab to take our really large suitcases to a travel agency who was going to ship them to our hotel in San Jose for us. We didn't want to have to bother with them on the flight to Arenal. I don't think they would have even allowed them on the flight because they may have brought the plane down. Every pound and ounce was accounted for on this flight. Even we had to be ashamedly weighed in while holding our purses.

We took off from the Quepos "International" Airport and flew directly to San Jose in 20 minutes, which would have taken us 3.5 hours on a crowded bus on dangerous mountain roads. After a brief 5 minute layover in SJ for refueling, we boarded an empty plane to La Fortuna. Literally it was empty, we were the only ones on this puddle jumper besides the pilots.

Shortly after arriving at our Hotel Arenal Paraiso, we went on another canopy tour only this time we got crazy!!!

Even my mom got wild!!

We feel like we are more in Hawaii than in Costa Rica seeing that we are staying in a resort like setting. We have a cute little cabina with A/C which we are loving!!!!.
