Costa Rica is a popular destination not only to get married but also to come on a family trip or for a special event. For the past year and a half I have been planning a 50th birthday celebration extravaganza for Laura. Laura wanted a once-in-a-lifetime trip for her 10 best friends that she invited from the US for a week-long stay in this tropical paradise. I will be blogging about their road trip to Costa Rica all week as they make their way through Costa Rica!
