Seriously who would go to Costa Rica in August when it is almost at the Equator and probably full of bugs, especially mosquitoes carrying dangerous stuff.

At first I didn’t want to go, then after saying I would go, I really didn’t want to go, but I  went and loved it:

Forget the first day; that was dedicated to getting to San Jose (big zero) by plane from Los Angeles via Dallas/Fort Worth.

The next day we traveled by bus to Arenal Volcano – actually to La Fortuna near the volcano. Following is a schematic of the Arenal portion of the trip

Actually we stayed a bit farther down the side of the volcano where we could evacuate quicker if it got active again.
