What does that women in the blue have in her lap?
For $20 bucks I got to chill out with a tribe, they told me their history, cooked us a traditional dish and I got a badass selfie... oh and afterwards I found out they were descendants of the amazon head hunters lol
Also, that guy standing up has that look in his eye
That would be badassHumpback Whale Watching $20 bucks for 5 people....
Walking stick and fish carrying bag I think.
Ecuadorian ginger
Ziplining across a valley into double waterfalls $15... damn near shit myself
Spent a summer in Costa Rica moons ago and went for a week Dec 2013, it's got loads to do if you're a nature lover and range of lodging from super basic $5/day to luxury just depending on what vibe you want and if you want secluded vs more urban, etc, etc. I'm jealous of your vacay already. I am constantly travel planning and I research flights 2-3x/day just for the fun of it. Today I obsessed over everything Cuba, I have to get there before the doors open up and we ruin it with our homogenized fast food American death grip.
Costa Rica is intriguing. Quickly moving up the list. Fuck a bunch or overcrowded, all-inclusive resorts. I'm looking for a small place in the rain forest, where my kids can see howler monkeys, tropical birds, sloths, iguanas, etc. And if we want to jump in the SUV and head to the beach, we can be there in 10-15 minutes. Costa Rica appears to be loaded with places like this.
That it is! You can get to pretty much any corner of the country in approx 4 hours drive from San Jose and the whole country is so bio-diverse that each region has beach, rainforest, some have volcanos, etc. You really can experience quite a lot there which is one of the things I really liked about it.
Seriously leaning towards CR. I'm outvoted 3-1 though, so who knows though
We went for the traditional backpackers lodging(hostels). My wife and daughter are diva's but slightly adventurous so I thought what the hell and suggest hostels expecting a big ole slice of go fuck yourself, but they suprised me and said yes. Average Hostel was 7 bucks a night per person. We weren't staying with random strangers, we had our own rooms, showers. Some were eh while others were "holy shit can I live here"?
Oh and I ate a guinea pig... fucking tasted like rabbit wrapped in chicken skin AMAZING
I was just in Kauai for 6 days in January. it was incredible. highly recommend and I consider myself a versed traveler. we did the kalalau trail (top 10 hardest trails in north america) and other touristy stuff.
smith's family luau is the tits. bubbas burgers is a must. lumahai beach on the north shore for black sand (we had the entire mile long beach to ourselves for the 4 hours we were there on a friday afternoon....best day of my life forsure, walking with my wife smoking bowls and being absolutely carefree watching the ocean was the best feeling ever).

Maybe without the heads attached. Maybe
Dude it was delicious seriously. They chop the head off so it isn't staring at you.
okay, so after reading the entire post and not just the only word I read in the OP (Kauai), I suggest Freeport. you sound like you need a full on immediate family vacation.
what do you and your family enjoy doing? I could possibly suggest other places if you are ope to suggestion.

I live 3 hours west of Slocan, better weather. easier chicks....but we need to get together homie! I got a bunch of shrooms in my freezer right now!
You know what? You've got my attention! I know we've discussed our proximity of location before, but you've really got me feeling like having a few beers with you right now. Mushrooms would require a bit of beer time first to get to know who I'm trippin with, then something outdoors for the grand finale, lol! Not sure when, but some day it would be fun! Before it was all over we could report back to these fuckers with some selfies from the back of a cop car or a hospital room. Good times eh!

I am about to go on EI as I got laid off 4 days ago. I got LOTS of free time coming up over the next 4 - 5 months.... actually thinking of doing a long distance hike. 10 - 15 days long, 10-15km a day type thing. intersted?
I am down for beers etc, wanna get together for the Aldo - Connor fight? your place or mine, either is good!!
Just saw this post now. I'm not sure where I'm gonna be yet when the fight rolls around as I am likely hooking up with a fire fighting crew this season, and by all accounts it should be quite the fire season up in these BC hills after the dry winter we had. If for any reason I am around, I would love to take a road trip, and if not for the fight I will be up for it when it works for both of us. Would be good times, I know that! I'd also say here would be great but my place is so fucking small and with the wife and kids there is just nowhere to hide at 7am when they are getting up for breakfast while we are thinking 'bout going to sleep. Camping is always great out here though, but I wouldn't mind a road trip........we'll talk more!
I have always liked Jamacia, depending on whats going on with my marriage situation I may take a bad ass vacation to south america within the next year
Exactly. I've already nipped that shit in the bud. They are going to Hawaii in September and we are going wherever in October.
