Costa Rica wrap-up and Upcoming Trips

So after talking about Costa Rica with a few people I realized what I liked and disliked about the trip.  I liked how it was a really beautiful country with almost no resort-type areas.  It really hasn't been developed that much yet (as least the areas we were in).  What I disliked was how I didn't really feel challenged or put out of my comfort zone at all.  So, on that note I've been in the preliminary planning stages for India in August 2017!

I'm getting potential itineraries/quotes from local travel agents for a two week-ish trip.  I think this will be better than researching hotels/activities on my own like I did with Cambodia.  I'm still doing my own research and telling the person a general idea of what we'd like to do but I really like the idea that there is a local person choosing things that I may not have found on my own.  Below is an example of one potential itinerary I've gotten so far.  Some of the drives look a little too long for my liking but we have awhile to work it out!

We will be leaving for Iceland in a few weeks.  Unfortunately I didn't think to book our AirBnB for the night before our arrival so we will be getting in around 6am and are unable to get into our room until 2pm-ish.  That will be a (sleepy) adventure!

After Iceland we don't have anything planned until January 2017 when we will go to the Galapagos with Brandon's family.  I am super excited for that and I'm sure something fun will come up in between.
