Monkeys, Finally...

We woke up late this morning as we didn’t have to leave to the airport until 10 am. As Anna and I were about to go to breakfast our parents stopped us to tell us that the elusive monkeys were on the beach in back of the hotel. We ran there and got plenty of good footage. We were glad to finally see the monkeys we felt we had been entitled to see since the start of this trip.

Yeah, everybody was feeding those monkeys...

After a quick breakfast in the over crowded corral, we returned to our room to make our final preparations for departure then proceeded to checkout.



I paid $25 more for my “all inclusive” room. Had I told them that I used the room safe they would have charged another $20. It looked like a lot more on the bill because they used local currency, Colones.

Over 14,000 for a prepaid all inclusive room sure looks steep, until you convert that to $25 USD.

At the airport Lacey and Mike lost most of the nice shells they collected for their kids at the security screening. Meanwhile, Anna had all of her shells make it through but they took her ever-so-deadly tweezers. My mom also managed to make it through with a huge bottle of water. TSA checks in Costa Rica must be based on an arbitrary system.



We arrived in PHX after a rather layover in Houston at about 10pm. We drove home in a daze and collapsed into our beds.

Although this was the end of our Costa Rica adventure, Anna and I are only half way through the trip. We still have a week in Arizona to visit friends and family. After that another week in Hawaii on Oahu and Kauai.
