Guest Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 We have decided to take the plunge and book our first proper family holiday abroad (discounting a 4 day Eurostar trip to Paris!). We're going to Costa Rica for Easter and I'm getting excited! It's 13 years since I last went on an aeroplane and the first time for my children. So far all we've done is booked the flights. We have a general idea of what we want to do (lots of nature watching etc but no extreme sports!). Looking for any advice/recommendations anyone can give... Quote
hali Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Well apart from the obvious not forgetting passports {children need their own now) and tickets make sure you have E11 forms filled out from post office, currency/travellers chqs, always a good idea to take a guide book if you havnt been to the county before so that you can plan outings, (any injections????], then the real importants items like bikini and sunnies a jolly good book and a bucket and spade....................................

catma Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 You'll love costa rica, get out of san jose fast and head for the pacific coast! The Nicoya peninsular is a bit remote if travelling by your own steam but quite lovely, The arenal volcano is exciting and most of the national parks are great too: You'll have fun! It's very catholic so there will be loads of semana santa fiestas to enjoy too. (I'm looking forward to morocco at easter and vietnam in the summer! ) Cx Quote
Guest Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Brilliant, Catma, thanks. We finally booked our first hotel reservation tonight - at the Arenal Lodge Observatory! Yee ha! Enjoy Morocco! (and Vietnam after, of course). Fox Quote
catma Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 oh I will!! But my true love of travel locations is Latin America So I'm a bit jealous!! Quote
