Nate and I are making our way to Costa Rica. We’re pumped to spend some time in the sun, do a little zip lining, pet monkeys/get rabies and live the pura vida for a week. Most importantly, we will be enjoying 10 whole days away from work.
The resort we are staying at has no cell coverage and slow internet (only in the lobby). We’re both actually looking forward to an entire week of being unplugged. Okay, I’m sure I’ll go through withdraws initially but I will eventually enjoy it. At least that’s what I keep telling myself.
I always get pre-vacation jitters. What am I forgetting to pack? What if I get sick? What if the plane crashes? What am I forgetting to pack? I hope I don’t barf on the plane. I’m going to miss my bed. Let’s just stay home.
I’m not neurotic. Why do you ask?
We are also going to miss this little dude something fierce.
He’s vacationing with his grandparents. Which is basically like Costa Rica for dogs. I mean unlimited dog treats is pretty much the same unlimited drinks, right?
I have some lady ladies holding down the blog fort next week. They will be sharing some of their favorite décor and the their dogs. Clever, aren’t I? I hope you enjoy their posts and I’ll blog you all in a week!
Tell me all about your favorite vacation. I have lots of travel time to read comments today!
My favourite holiday in recent years was a trip my boyfriend and I made to Paris (we did all these things - http://annabelvita.com/2012/04/23/my-top-ten-favourite-things-to-do-in-paris/, it was glorious!). One of my favourite holidays ever was probably six weeks in Spain and Morocco http://annabelvita.com/2011/08/18/moroccan-summer/ nothing like being young and stupid and travelling with your best friend
ReplyDeletei think i already told you my favorite vacation was costa rica.... sniffle.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your vacation! I keep hearing that Costa Rica is beautiful, I am from Nicaragua, and I lived minutes from north Costa Rica, we actually shared a beach, but that was years ago, and I don't really remember it too well, anyhow, hope you come back rested and refreshed.
ReplyDeleteBe safe and have a blast! I have all the same anxiety as you when we travel, you are not alone! My favorite vacay was our trip a few years ago to Punta Cana in the Dominican Reupblic. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHAVE SO MUCH FUN!!!!!! I always get pre-vacation jitters too. I think my favorite vacation was our trip to Brazil. Or possibly a road trip in college we took from Minnesota to Denver. We stopped whenever we wanted, wherever we wanted. It was fun. No plans, just hanging out. Can't wait to see pictures when you get back!!
ReplyDeleteWahoo!! Have fun! I'm always nervous about getting to the airport on time. But once you do, breath a happy sigh of relief for all the deliciousness that awaits you!
ReplyDeleteAww, look at that precious face! Have a wonderful time on your trip! I haven't been to Costa Rica yet so I am excited to hear about it. I am sure I speak for everyone when I say that I want a full trip report with tons of pictures! Have a safe trip!

I'm going to Europe for six weeks soon. More than anything, I'm worried about missing my dog. And not being able to sleep on an 8 hour flight. And mostly my dog. You are not alone. Enjoy Costa Rica.

Have a wonderful vacation!
ReplyDeleteHope it's nice & relaxing. :)
Have a great trip! Even if you forgot something, you can always buy it when you get to the hotel. :)
ReplyDeleteOne vacation, I actually forgot to pack ANY underwear. Fail. haha
have an AMAZING TIME!!! can't wait for you to get back and share pictures :). Enjoy being unplugged and don't get kidnapped by monkeys while ziplining!
ReplyDeleteHave an amazing time!!! Don't check a single email, voicemail, blog post or pin. oh and if you happen to get rabies, that'll be a super intersting story so be sure to take pictures while you're getting attacked.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite vacation as a child was a 2 week roadtrip, my parents drove us from WI to CA and back. My favorite trip as an adult was Australia/Fiji. I always get homesick the first day of vacation and then get over it and enjoy. Have a wonderful trip!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think the hardest thing to do is RELAX. You're gonna have an amazing time!!
ReplyDeleteMy fav vacation was either (domestic) Mount Desert Island, Maine (breathtaking, slow-paced splendor) or (international) a toss-up b/t Ireland, Italy, or Greece. (Ire for ppl and castles, Italy for food and family heritage, Greece for food and scenery.)
Sigh. vacations...Enjoy your time away!
Ahhhh!!! Have fun! Take me with you next time! ;)
ReplyDeleteWire haired foxies are the best! Ike reminds me so much of the two I used to have. They have so much personality and the picture you included with this post illustrates that beautifully. They think they are little people!
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Costa Rica!
have fun!!
ReplyDeleteNice! I'm gearing up for a vacation to Mexico which is happening VERY shortly. I cannot.stinking.wait. Our pet sitter bowed out at the last minute (not cool) so we are using someone we know but haven't used to pet sit before. It just adds a level of stress!
ReplyDeleteHave fun! Try the Malaria, I hear it's exhausting! ;)
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome time! We were unplugged on the cruise a couple weeks ago and it was fantastic. I really felt like I was taking a break from EVERYTHING.
ReplyDeleteFavorite vaca yet was my cruise with my BFF. It was great to spend time just me & her and the ocean. Have so much fun Michelle!!!
ReplyDeleteHave FUN!! So jealous! Hope you remembered to pack everything! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fabulous trip! Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your holiday!
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip! Well, I assume you left so you won't get this until you get home, so I hope you had a great trip :)
ReplyDeleteps- I also get that vacation anxiety like we should just stay home. I get homesick on every vacation because I just love my own bed and my pets too much
Um....
ReplyDeleteThis is possibly my favorite photo of Ike. The position makes me laugh! Can I steal him?
