The week I spent in Costa Rica with Chad’s company absolutely flew by. I had hoped to let myself relax like never before, but I’m a sucker for adventures, especially on someone else’s dime. I’ve suffered from intense FOMO since I was a little kid, so I signed up for all the optional activities for the +1s, which turned out to be amazing exercise, but allowed me little time for the mental retreat I’d been craving.
The first day or so, we did have some time to relax and enjoy our surroundings before the activities began. The sunset welcomed us to Tamarindo, and Smoky, the dog of the house, adopted us as her own. During my first 36 hours or so in Tamarindo, I had visions of writing morning pages, scheduling blog posts, and learning responsive design techniques every day by the pool with this spectacular view. Throw in some beach yoga, books, and rare solitude, and this would be the perfect retreat.
But then the adventures started. And I can’t say no to a good adventure.
