Hello!! My apologies for being so absent lately. I hate to admit it, but things have been moving slowly for me lately. I haven’t had the desire to blog, I know it’s shameful to admit, but true. It wasn’t until Sunday night, that I started to feel that urge to share with my dear friends again! I had read about the rumors, the post-wedding blues, and thought I would never fall victim to something that crazy. I suppose that the wedding filled up such a huge part of my life, that now I find all the free time to be…stifling.
However, I see the light at the end of the tunnel now. The fog is starting to lift and I’m feeling energetic and extremely elated to be a newlywed. A few nights ago, the Hubs and I went to Starbucks and played scrabble. Later we watched Love Actually with a bottle of red and devoured a fruit & cheese basket my cousin had sent to us. Marriage is bliss.
Okay, on to the honeymoon recaps so that we can get to the good stuff (WEDDING RECAPS)!
The first week was spent in Playa Hermosa. We were staying in a 2 bedroom villa with views of the Pacific Ocean. It was quite amazing. Let’s just get to the pictures, shall we?
Here we are at Miami International in our cool shirts. More on those later.

After four hours of driving, the Pacific Coast was right in front of us!

In the first ten minutes of seeing our villa, I’m taking pictures for you guys. What is the hubs doing? He’s watching CNN.

Here’s our view from the living room. Not too shabby, eh?

Here’s our little SUV that could. Yes, Matt is bigger than our Suzuki Jimny.

About to zip through some canopies!

Later that day, at the Mud Springs.


The dark sand beach was really nice, but this was my favorite. Fresh ceviche.

And raw oysters, right out of the ocean.

I dedicate our honeymoon to Victoria, our British speaking guide. She always protected us.

Back tomorrow with more! Anyone else venturing to Costa Rica for their honeymoon?!?!

We are going to Costa Rica for our honeymoon! I would love to hear more details. What was the name of the villa you stayed in? What places would you recommend? What would you avoid? And Why?
Sorry this isn’t meant to be an interrogation, just curious!!!
I look forward to hearing from you!!!

@Anonymous: We stayed at Villas Sol in Playa Hermosa, but it was part of a timeshare. There was an amazing restaurant near there, it was at the Oasis Condominium (just plug that into your GPS and you’ll get there, it’s amazing). We also went to Rincon de la Veja, that’s where the mud springs and white water tubing was, although the tubing scared the heck out of me.
I don’t know of any places that I would avoid, every place we stayed was amazing. I’m going to do two more posts on Costa Rica, so hopefully it’s helpful!
