When you land, there will be vans waiting to pick you up from the airport where they will then take everyone to the nearby Walmart. This is your opportunity to stock up on things you have forgotten/need, snacks, and one or two meals that you will most likely have at your Airbnb outside of the planned meals. This will be the only time planned to go to a big grocery store, otherwise the stores in our little town are closer to mini mart items. Once everyone has gotten their groceries, the vans will then take you to your designated Airbnb, it is about a 90 minute car drive from the airport to the gated community everyone is staying in.

While how much or how little you do on the trip is very much up to you, it is worth noting that Costa Rica will officially be in their "wet season" so any outdoor activities may be subject to rain, however, it usually comes and goes quickly and will still be summer temperatures. For the wedding, we are asking everyone to wear black. On the invitation we stated for it to be formal and while we don't mean for it to be a black tie event, we would like everyone to show us their best black outfits!

On Sunday night, David Webster is hosting a welcome dinner, it will be at the main house/venue, transportation will be provided from the Airbnbs. There are various adventures that Costa Rica has to offer and it's solely up to each individual on whether they'd like to participate! We are planning at least 2-3 adventures for the week. Monday and Tuesday will consist of a waterfall hike, both are rated mild/moderate but some sturdy shoes are recommended. Tuesday night, everyone is invited to GingerBread House where we will be having the rehearsal dinner, transportation will be provided as well. Wednesday is the WEDDING!! Thursday we will be hopping on a boat that will take us to some hot springs at a resort called The Springs. Once there, we can do some white water tubing and dine at a restaurant to relax and enjoy the hot springs nearby.

We will have vans on standby to be used when we move in big groups. However, if you'd like to rent your own car, there are two options. First, you may rent a car a from the airport, however the downsides to this are the long drive to housing, it's very expensive, and the roads at night can be treacherous in some areas. The second option is rent directly from our Airbnb host. We are still finalizing the process but if you'd like to rent a car from the host, please let us know. We will also have a designated "transportation coordinator" and we will provide her contact information to you before you arrive.
