To be truly honest, we needed another vacation from our last vacation. As nice as Tamarindo was, it was not as much fun as I had hoped traveling with my extended family. So to make up for our last family vacation, we decided to book a last minute getaway to one of our favorite places to vacation: Puerto Viejo Costa Rica, as a special treat for hubby's 35th birthday.
I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. We leave tomorrow and tomorrow can't come soon enough. Now, I do have high hopes that this little getaway will make up for our vacation in Guanacaste even though I don't usually have high expectations when I go to the beach. I just want to get away for a few days, relax and enjoy some time with family where I don't have to stress about what's for dinner, laundry or housekeeping. I get to just BE. And that is all I want on this trip...to just relax and BE!
Without my extended family with us, it will be a little easier to enjoy ourselves as we won't have to constantly make sure everyone is happy. All we have to do is just worry about ourselves and we love a beach retreat no matter how simple it is. My little sister will be tagging along as she does not go back to the states until the 12th of January, but I think she'll appreciate 2 days away.
Tonight I have to pack, but since it's only for the weekend, I'll be packing light. We booked 2 rooms at Cariblue Hotel and Resort which makes me super happy because it's one of the many places we've been wanting to stay at in Puerto Viejo. Cariblue is located a few miles from the main town in Cocles and buffet breakfast is included...YUM!
Are we feeling a little spoiled? A little! We never get to enjoy life like this: 2 beach vacations within weeks of each other. I'd say we are feeling pretty lucky, indeed.
