Costa Rica Eco Tour Aug 9 - Aug 16, 2003

General: My daughter was privileged with a great opportunity, one which she will probably never forget. She was in the middle of her second year in University and it all began with one of the routine mailings from StudentAwards.com. "Win the ultimate Ralph Girl vacation plus a $2500 scholarship" it said, then went into more detail. Sponsored by Ralph Lauren and L'oreal Canada, it offered one of four vacations. The choices were Costa Rica, Whistler, California, or Broadway. ... (more)

Marcelo What a coincidence that you should post now. It was about a year ago that we were just packing and getting ready for this trip. Thanks for your comments. I told it like it was and we thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our journey. Congratulations to your parents for running such as nice place! We hope we will be able to return someday. Please drop me an email so I can reply. There does not seem to be the same information at the Sueno Azul website as when I posted the link. All I get now is a message thanking me for visiting! Bob OK - issue resolved. My pop-up blocker was holding back the information I was looking for. So if anyone is trying to access this site and can't, disabling your pop-up blocker should resolve the issue.

Sorry!
Sorry for writing ¨mother-daughter¨ in my previous comment, it was a language trouble.

Also this place is my home and is always nice when someone has something good to say about your home. Thank you again and I am really happy for you and your daughter, I am sure this trip was a good thing for your mother-daughter friendship. I wish you many good things in your life.

Hello from another Bob
Congratulations and a lot of credit to your daughter for getting you to go to Costa Rica, a marvelous country as you now know. Your pictures remind me of our own trip there two years ago. As you helped us relive our trip, I'd invite you to see our articles and maybe they'll help you relive your own: Two Weeks in Costa Rica, and Wildlife in Costa Rica.

Your descriptions are marvelous. We also stayed at the Alta and the Brittania hotels , went white water rafting as well as to the volcano and the hot springs. But where are your sloth and your mud baths? Thanks again for a very fine article of a fine trip.
