Costa Rica: Day One

I was blessed to experience my spring break vacation in Costa Rica! It was my first time out of the country and it was one of the best times I have ever had in my life. Everything we did was very fun and entertaining. A very good team bonding experience. Well, the first day our flight left LAX at 1:00am early Saturday morning. We arrived in Costa Rica around 9am in the morning. It was about a 6 hour flight with a lay over in Sal Salvador. Once we arrived at the airport we were all scared our bags were going to be missing HAHA! Fortunately, all of our belongings made the flight too! First thing we did was travel in our bus to the restaurant where we had our opening presentation and lunch. The opening presentation included a latin dance, which was very entertaining. We spent our first three days in the rainforest at the Tilajari Hotel Resort. The weather was gloomy and would rain on and off lightly and sometimes hard, but it still was pretty warm. The first day we didn't do much except train a little, have dinner, and relax. Here are some pictures from the first day in Costa Rica...
