La Fortuna — Amro Menor

My trip got off to a rough start because one of my worst fears of traveling occurred. My bag was no where to be found ☹ Instead of sightseeing , I spent the majority of the first day shopping.  The hardest part was finding makeup for my skin-tone. You would think as an experienced traveler, I would know better than packing ALL my makeup and toiletries in my checked bag but I didn’t, so I learned my lesson the hard way!  Thankfully the malls in San Jose had a great selection of local and international stores.  

Despite the initial difficulties, I had an incredible time in Costa Rica. I spent much needed time restoring and revitalizing my mind, body and soul. The spectacular rain forests, the majestic backdrop of the Arenal Volcano, and the lush national parks are enough to make anyone fall in love with the country.
