My biggest fear about going to Costa Rica is probably getting lost or separated from the group in somewhere, or getting hurt and not being able to translate English to Spanish.

I cannot believe I will be in Costa Rica at this time, 48 hours from now. Just after pushing through a tough week of exams, I am getting ready to embark on a whirlwind adventure. Its tempting tonight, after staying up until 3 a.m. studying to just want to go home and enjoy the comforts…
