Crysta Parkinson @ Well Worn Suitcase
With two adults, two teenagers, and a pre-schooler along for the ride, it is no small feat to find an itinerary to fit everyone’s needs. Two weeks in Costa Rica took that challenge and went above and beyond.
When you have your 16-year-old talking about how great his trip was while your 4-year-old goes on and on about all the amazing things she saw – game over. You win!
Below is the itinerary we laid out with our fantastic agent, Christian, at Costa Rica Online Travel. (Learn more about our experience using an agent for the first time here.) This vacation not only gave us an opportunity to explore a new country together, it was filled with learning opportunities and excitement, too.
I think every member of our family had the chance to be challenged on this trip. We each stepped out of our comfort zones and did something we never thought we could. And wow! What a result!
