I'm this close to booking our anniversary trip. It's a surprise, so I can't ask for Brad's help.
I've picked a resort. It's hard to get to-- a 5 hour drive from the international airport or a 1 hour drive from the local airport. If we suck it up and drive, we can spend one more day in paradise for about the same price as if we flew, so I'm thinking drive. BUUUUT, If I did the original Sat-Wed schedule vs Sat-Thurs schedule I'm thinking of now, we would not have to worry about money at all while we were there because I would be so far under budget.
I am at the point where I am overthinking this, so I need your help.
3 nights, 2.5 days in paradise + 10 hour RT drive and virtually unlimited spending while there (heh)? 4 nights, 3.5 days in paradise + 10 hour RT drive? 3 nights, 2.5 days in paradise + flying?
If the Costa Rican roads are anything like the Panamanian roads get a small SUV. We drove a Nissan micra across panama. It's do able but a 3 cylinder mini car has no place on the pacific coast highway. We wished we had rented something stronger and had a better suspension.

I was about to say I'd choose as many days as possible but I see you've already chosen. Hope you and your "bookend" have a great trip!
