Costa Rica
My wife and I first visited Costa Rica in 2006. We spent the first week at Casa Corcovado Jungle Lodge near Corcovado National Park. The second week we traveled around without any plans or reservations, except for the last two nights. We read that driving in Costa Rica is risky - but we had fun. Of course, we got lost once too and ended up spending the night someplace we hadn't intended.
We returned in 2011 and went to the Caribbean side and stayed in Cahuita for almost the entire trip. It was quite different from our first visit.

Hibiscus Flower
I'll never forget our first "real" night in Costa Rica (the stay at the hotel in San Jose after flying in doesn't count). We traveled by small plane to the coast and then took a boat ride down the river and into the ocean. At the end, we had to transfer to a smaller boat to reach the shore. And, to get us and our stuff up the hill at the lodge, there was a small tractor pulling a cart. Finally, we walked down a long path through the jungle to our bungalow which, when we entered, was filled with hibiscus flowers everywhere.
