Getting Excited

I love traveling and I'm lucky enough to have 2 trips two look forward to in the next month!  In 2 weeks, I am going to San Francisco for a conference.  The conference itself will be wonderful, but I'm really excited to see San Francisco and hang out with my friend from high school who lives there.  Then I get back and I'm only home 2 weeks before we leave for our honeymoon in Costa Rica.

A couple months ago, I planned the whole trip.  I bought the plane tickets, booked the rental SUV (in case we want to go places that require 4wd), and booked the hotel for the overnight layover in Atlanta.  I asked L to pay for the hotel.  It was all planned out and I was really excited for the hotel.  He didn't get it booked and I wasn't on top of things.  So last week I emailed them again and...there are no more rooms.

So I spent the last 2 days re-planning our trip.  Which was way more fun than it sounds!  And because we didn't get the hotel we wanted, we got to re-imagine our trip.  The new plan has us driving to the coast for a day and staying in a nice suite on the Pacific Ocean.  The next day, we'll hit the beach early then check out and head inland to the Arenal Volcano area to a lodge there.  We'll get to do a whole bunch of stuff that we really wanted to do (zipline, hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, canyoneering/rappelling, ATV tour, and the spa--of course!).

I am so psyched for this trip!  This is going to be a long month of waiting!
