Anyone who has traveled with the Fitzgeralds knows our affinity for Rick Steves (or, as he was known during one European vacation, Rick James). While Steves is excellent an excellent source for advice, he almost exclusively sticks to Europe when it comes to travel guides. Thus, I was intrigued to see that his column in the Seattle Times recently mentioned a trip to Costa Rica:
When I want to take a vacation, I don't go to Europe. I work in Europe — so I try to take vacations elsewhere. This year's Christmas gift to my family was a week in Costa Rica. I'd never been to Central America to simply relax, and I was clueless about Costa Rica. I just signed up for the best eight days that my friend's tour company could offer.
Click the link for the whole thing. He also has a second column here, that, while chronicling his entire trip, lacks much in the way of substantive details or suggestions. While it was interesting to get Rick's impressions of Costa Rica, I was a little disappointed. It's clear Costa Rica isn't his main gig, and when traveling here he is a mere mortal like the rest of us.
