A spur-of-the-moment trip that began with a flight from San Jose, CA to San Jose, Costa Rica. For 12 days we wandered around the Central and Pacific coastal areas, enjoying hot springs, beaches & swimming, rough roads and river crossings in the rental car. The last night was spent in the lap of luxury at the super luxurious Hotel Villa Caletas. The next night, due to a very late arrival at LAX and no connection to San Jose until the next morning, was spent sleeping on the hard airport terminal benches!
