Just a note as you read through this itin keep in mind that we offer some of the best Costa Rica family adventure packages if your are interested for you next family vacation. We just got done with their first meal and the orientation of the trip. It looks like we have a great group on our hands and everyone will get along well. We gave each person their own water bottle (we try not to use plastic bottles on the trip), a bag made from the village ladies they will be visiting, and their personal journal. The kids seemed very excited along with the parents and we are now having some down time.
The idea with the bottles is to teach the kids that we dont have to buy plastic bottles everytime we are thirsty and that to reuse your bottle and just fill it up with the purified water in the bus we have will save money and lots of plastic bottles. The bags are to cut down on plastic bags during the trip. We really try and make the trip a week long of no plastic bags and no plastic bottles. We work in the eco-tourism industry and just like to do our part to protect our office. The bags are made out of old coffee and rice bags from the ladies in the village we will be visiting later in the week. It is an income to them as we pay them for each bag that is made.
We will be leaving for dinner at 5:45pm and we plan on giving them their first taste of rice and beans in a very Costa Rican restraurant. It will be tough to match lunch as we really spoiled them with an all you can eat buffet. It is our way of saying eat up because we have a lot planned for you during the week.
I also told the group in the meeting that we will be staying in very humble homes after this hotel which I consider the best part of the trip. It is an amazing experience and a chance be with some of the nicest people around.
