It was such an amazing trip!! Seriously, I am already itching to go back to Costa Rica!! We stayed at Riu Palace and the place was off the hook! So beautiful and everyone there was friendly. It was 90 and sunny every single day and we all got some color (woo hoo for the pasty white kids!). I got stupid drunk on the 2nd day. The bartender called the drink a "chica mala" (bad girl) and then after I had 5 he started calling them "adios amiga". It had 8 shots and a little bit of lemonade in it. I called it an afternoon and went to bed to nap and rally.
We went on a day trip to zip line/waterslide/horseback ride and bathe in water warmed by a volcano. We saw howler monkeys, capuchin monkeys, toucans and iguanas. The zip lining was amazing...it was so beautiful to be in the rainforest high above everything. I even did one line completely upside down!
We took another 1/2 day adventure to go 4-wheeling to two remote beaches. My bff and I did the Baywatch run into the ocean and laughed our asses off when she went ass over tea kettle in a wave. We drank expensive coronas at a local bar.
We drank and ate a ton. The food was amazing everyplace we went. They had shows every night...some better than others. We danced to a live band. We got drunk and hit up the disco. We did yoga near the ocean, water aerobics (with a hot instructor) and I got a couples massage with my bff.
And a few funny things...I got an invite to a threesome with the gay couple with us. One of the girls kissed me on the lips and then tried to get me to sleep with every 18 year old waiter at the resort. My bff's bf kept telling everyone I was trisexual...I like guys, girls and chickens.
There was some drama with one couple, but it was pretty much expected.

That's all of us, minus the girl taking the photo. I'm the third from the left.
