Well, I guess I should go ahead and least give ya some pic shots !!

Uneventful 3 hour and 50 minute flight direct from DFW to Liberia airport. Landing was smooth and we were taken aback at the size of the airport, one hangar for the one runway there. We did hear later from our transportation company (TAM) that the airport was built by Ollie North when ousting Noriega in Nicaragua.





Our TAM lady(Esmerelda) was waiting outside as we whizzed quickly through customs (2 agents) and quickly moved past the hay & chickens(just kidding).



Esmerelda loaded us up in her 4x4 truck and we headed off to our first hotel, the Occidental Grand Papagayo where we were upgraded to VIP in the front lobby.



After checking into the resort, we were shown to Bldg. 7, our room which was very nice and sat upon the hill at one of the highest points. The room was comfortable, a welcome letter, basket of fruit and champagne was waiting !!!







We quickly changed clothes and headed down to the pool area for my first drink since last year and some water volleyball.

More to come if ya want me too, I still only got about 1/4 of the pics downloaded.......arggggggggghhhhh (been so busy and they are 10 mega pixel sized pics that take for ever to download). This was just the first of two resorts that we were able to taste on our first visit to Costa Rica !!!
