Costa Rica - Funnest Honeymoon Ever!!!

The day after our wedding, Kai and I took off for Costa Rica! We flew from Salt Lake to Atlanta to Costa Rica. Anyways, the pilot announced that we would be landing 30 minutes earlier than expected, and then I fell asleep. Next thing I new, I woke up and the flight attendant was saying we would be landing in Managua in about 45 minutes! I'm not a geography genius, but since I was supposed to fly into Managua, NICARAGUA a few years ago to build houses (a trip that didn't end up happening, but thats a whole other story), I was a little confused since I thought we were going to Costa Rica.

Anyways, apparently, there was a bad storm in Costa Rica and there was a thick fog over the landing strip, so we couldn't land. We circled as long as we could, but then they flew us to Nicaragua to refuel and figure out whether we would be able to fly back that night. After a few hours of sitting (or sleeping, in my case) on the plane, we finally took off and landed in Costa Rica at around 2am.

Now, for the fun part! We stayed at Anamaya Resort, which was AMAZING!!! Everything about it was great! We stayed in the Bali House, which had a view of the ocean and its own porch, hammock, outdoor bathroom, etc. We met fun people, ate great food, and did lots of fun stuff! We went on a canopy tour, cliff jumping off a waterfall, ropeswinging, surfing, snorkeling, and on a boat trip to Tortuga Island.

If anyone is looking for a great vacation spot, I cannot recommend Costa Rica enough! It is sooo beautiful and relaxing! I can't wait to go back!!!
