A good first day in Costa Rica. We got to the airport and found the security line was huge. Luckily we got through the Elite section in about ten minutes. Then I discovered I had left my laptop at home... Oops! Too bad.
Breakfast in the Presidents Club was good. The flight was excellent in a brand new plane.
We were met at the airport and escorted to our hotel, the Doubletree Cariari. Nice hotel. We dropped our bags and took a cab downtown. We negotiated a rate of $17 down from the listed $23.
We got off at the Mercado Centrale, where we wandered around. Eventually we found a Soda (small informal restaurant) in the market where we samples the local food, the Casados. It was fun.
We then walked through downtown for a while to the hotel El Presidente. We will be staying there on our return to San Jose. We negotiated a driver to take us to the orthodox shul. Security to get in was very interesting. After shul, the same driver picked us up and dropped us at our hotel.
We just made the free drinks and snacks in the executive lounge. It definitely pays to be a club member.
Early night before an early start to Arenal.
