Costa Rica

Man, oh man. I can't wait for the semester to end. I am going to Aruba for a week and Costa Rica for two weeks. I leave for paradise in a little over a week from now and it is not coming fast enough. I plan on sitting on the beach drunk for the entire week in Aruba, and exploring the jungles of Costa Rica for the next two weeks. I can hardly stand the excitement. I am reading right now about the country of Costa Rica and trying to plan what to do first. It is a little overwhelming to plan for a trip and usually I like to show up and see what happens. I probably will do a lot of that this time, but I would like to be prepared some. Especially after reading about some of the crime in the capital city of San Jose. I can't decide if I want to take buses everywhere or rent a car. Renting a car can be expensive but it was the greatest thing I did when I was in Ireland. Nothing is better than getting off of a plane and jumping into a car and driving from the right hand side of the car, on the wrong side of the road, and shifting with your left hand. Simply priceless.
