My wife and I are in a resort on the Pacific Ocean in Costa Rica for the next 9 days.  I'm attending a seminar, so most of this trip is courtesy of my employer.  The seminar is over at 1:00 everyday, so that leaves plenty of time to play.  Very nice resort.  The tropical heat is quite a change.

Most expenses paid makes the trip even more awesome.

Nice. I love Costa Rica. My wife and I spent a few months there about ten years ago. I'm sure it's much more developed now. Are you near Jaco/Playa Hermosa?

We are north of there in the Guanacaste region, near  a little town called Tamarindo.  Here's the website for the resort;

Nice. I've been to Tamarindo and Manuel Antonio. It's a beautiful country. If you have time, I recommend going inland to La Fortuna and checking out Volcan Arenal.

This looks like great fun!

HA! The Asmo has +4 degrees Celsius and is, the season considered, content as a cucumber.  :D

So far no sloths, but an iguana was on our balcony last nite, and we saw a tree full of howler monkeys on the way to the hotel.
