For our honeymoon, we wanted to go somewhere adventurous but safe, exotic but easy to get to, luxurious but relatively affordable. Costa Rica ticked all the boxes. We were a bit nervous about going in early November during the rainy season, but we got lucky, and it only rained on our two driving days and once at night. The country is filled with surprises - the good kind you actually want while you’re traveling.
My husband’s large Mexican family has a long history of taking road trips, usually by bus, to places they’re connected to – Puebla where his grandmother was from, Michoacan where his father was from, and numerous religious pilgrimage sites throughout Mexico important to his mother. Whenever we gather around the evening table, invariably someone brings up antics and accidents that happened on those trips – then we spend the rest of the time laughing.
