Laura & Shane

With your wonderful gift we'll spend a night on the town, dance, laugh, and let loose wherever we desire.

There is nothing like a relaxing horseback ride taking in the beautiful scenery of our surroundings.

The Arenal Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the Americas. From our observation point, we will feel the ground tremble and see the night sky explode with ash and lava in a natural display of fireworks. We will visit the hot springs of Arenal, where we will relax in the soothing waters and be caressed by the cool night air while observing the stars and the incredible night sky above the volcano. This is absolutely an evening we will not want to miss.

We can't wait to experience the thrill of this bicycle tour! With our guide at hand, we will pass by properties of livestock breeding for milk production, crops of the region, the National Monument of Guayabo and the town of Santa Cruz through wild mountains and challenging terrain. Once we reach our destination, the city of Turrialba, we will enjoy a true Costa Rican lunch while we meet with some of the locals!

Our tour begins with a hiking trip through a tropical humid forest, passing bridges and spectacular scenery, to the Fortuna Waterfall with amazing swimming holes. After our honeymoon lunch at "Lava Rocks Restaurant" we will make our way to tour the Arenal Volcano. As we walk up the lava flows and watch the sunset we'll await the darkness to see and hear glowing rocks of lava tumbling down the side of the mountain, then it's time for a relaxing soak in the warmed mineral waters of Tabacon Resort and a romantic honeymoon dinner for two!

We will admire nature in all its glory as we float down the Corobici River on a rubber raft. Exotic sights of flora and fauna are common to this area: ospreys, herons, egrets and a variety of iguanas and monkeys. This river float will be an unforgettable adventure we won't forget.

Everyone should play a "round" a little so we will reserve our tee times now. We'll look forward to playing golf on spectacular greens that rival any in the world with their beauty, challenging nature, and flexible score cards!

On our way to our destination, we will travel through tropical forests near Rincon de la Vieja National Park, the Guanacaste Mountain Range, passing by small villages and cattle ranches. Arriving at the natural hot springs, we will get to try the therapeutic properties of the ever-so-famous mineral mud along with a nice soak in the warm waters marveling at the lush tropical scenery. If we are feeling adventurous we can be swinging through the trees like Tarzan and Jane to experience a world only the bird's eye sees!

We'll take an adventurous ride up in the mountains and hike through the amazing rainforest. We'll enjoy dazzling rivers and cool off under a spectacular waterfall.

We'll have a drink or two on you at the local bar or at our favorite saloon. Cheers!

We'll let an experienced guide take us on a hike through Manuel Antonio National Park so we don't get lost! Visiting two pristine, sun-kissed white-sand beaches, Espadilla Sur and Manuel Antonio learning about local plant life, pointing out some of the subsiding fauna such as capuchin, squirrel monkeys, agouti and the three-toed sloth along with 184 species of birds. A honeymoon adventure we will always remember!

With your wedding gift we won't have to lug our golf bags to Hawaii. Thank you!

Exploring the Monteverde Cloud Forest, seeing our tropical surroundings from a bird's eye view as we swing from platform to platform in a safe and easy manner among the treetops. We will hike trails across deep canyons and get the scoop on the local flora and fauna. A lovely wedding gift, for us lovely honeymooners!

We will learn the ancient skill of the Hawaiians from experienced surfers. Our instructors are committed to perpetuating the heritage of surfing, and the Hawaiian culture with aloha attitude. Surfs up.

On this awesome underground adventure, our knowledgeable guide will take us through narrow passages, labyrinths and chambers where we'll see a famous rock formation called, "La Papaya" along with other amazing stalactites and stalagmites. This tour is only for those who like to get wet, muddy and messy just as we do!

Swinging from treetop to treetop through dense, tropical and lush rainforest is an adventure that we can't miss! It's fast, it's fun and it's a rush of adrenalin pumping through our veins as we zip from platform to platform with breathtaking views of one of the most beautiful places on earth. This will be an exhilarating experience!

We don't want to settle for a standard room on our honeymoon! With your perfect gift we can plan ahead and upgrade to a room with a view on our once in a lifetime trip!

With your wedding gift we can plan ahead and upgrade to a romantic honeymoon suite. Our suite will be just steps from the beach nestled amongst the magnificent lush, fragrant tropical gardens and framed with breathtaking ocean views. We will be pampered in style and comfort, leaving us with "suite" memories!

What better way to enhance our fine dining experience than with our chosen bottle of exceptional wine.Cheers!

What could be better than knowing we'll have breakfast to enjoy between the sheets? We'll order eggs florentine, cinnamon rolls, freshly squeezed orange juice and hot coffee which all seem to taste better served to us in bed!

It's casual, fun and perfect for an afternoon lunch. With so many restaurants in town, we'll choose the most perfect, casual restaurant where we'll take delight in the juiciest burgers, fresh sandwiches, chicken and fries!

We’ll love a night just to ourselves! Indulging in the romantic ambiance, we’ll enjoy tantalizing cuisine at our favorite restaurant and make a toast to our lives together!

We look forward to reserving an intimate candlelit dinner. We'll choose a quiet restaurant with a warm atmosphere, outstanding cuisine and impeccable service.

We will take a dream cruise along the coast of Hawaii with the dolphins as they frolic and play in the calm Hawaiian waters! While admiring the incredible scenery, we will dine on local dishes, enjoy a cocktail or two and maybe even spot a humpback or pilot whale. This will be a very romantic honeymoon evening!

With so many ice cream parlors in town, we'll try everything from hot fudge sundaes to soft serve ice cream and thick milkshakes. Who cares about the diet on our fantastic getaway!

Any help to get to and from our destination is a wonderful gift. We will be thanking you long after take off.

Thank you for allowing us to pre-plan our trip. It all goes towards having the ultimate getaway made possible by your generous registry gift.

We'll need a spa day just to ourselves! We will sit back, relax and indulge in a rejuvenating and revitalizing spa treatment or massage to help soothe our tense muscles and to help us get back in the groove.

We'll toast to our lives together as we uncork the effervescence of a bottle of champagne. Cheers!

We will experience the special indulgence of a couple's massage lying side-by-side being pampered with exotic oils that hydrate the skin, rejuvenate senses, and leave us refreshed and revitalized. We want to reserve our spa treatments early for this ultimate spa experience!

I will enjoy a gentleman's spa day. Relaxing in the spa being pampered with an invigorating massage and a soothing scalp treatment, then to complete my day at the spa a Gentleman's Nail Grooming. Who says a spa day is just for the girls?

From the excellent service at the hotel to the attentive waiters at dinner, there's going to be a long list of people to thank for helping us have the perfect time away from home.

My nails have to look good to show off my beautiful wedding ring!

We can plan to start our trip with a romantic flair! What better way than with the decadence of this unbeatable combination?
