Costa Rica trip review

And just like that our trip is over!  At least I can look back and say WOW what a week . . . we covered a lot of ground and really, really enjoyed Costa Rica!  Each stop along the way was great and many memories made by each of us.  I tell you traveling together is really fun and each trip gets better!

Colin's Favorites
1.  catamaran
2.  zip line
3.  rafting

Heidi's Favorites
1.  scenery . . . I know, I know so generic but too many beautiful places
2.  zip line . . . overcoming my fear of heights for a few hours
3.  all the critters we saw especially the toucans; loved seeing them in their element
SO what did I really think about the group trip?
The group experience was much better than I ever imagined.  Of course our group was only 15 people which is unusual.  The maximum of the group is about 30 people so it might not be as great if the group were to double.  I feel we got to know everyone in our group.  Each night at dinner I tried to sit with someone new.  I was often the odd girl out as Colin would sit with the kids which made me uncomfortable but nothing I am not used to when I travel solo.

Would I use Adventures by Disney again?
Absolutely . . . now the trips are very expensive but the quality of places we stayed and the service we received was over the top great.  It was sort of nice to be with other people too.  I am already eyeing another ABD trip for next year!
