Traveling in Costa Rica With the Boat Bums: The Bob and Debby Tour

by Debby McLaughlin, Bob McLaughlin (Contributor)

Are you road worthy to drive in Costa Rica? Whether or not you had read our first book, Traveling On Land With the Boat Questions and Traveling Costa Rica, we sure hope you are ready to travel with us, Bob and Debby, on our own road tour of Costa Rica. Since our road tour has evolved over 10 years, we hope that when you join us, we can help you create your own Costa Rican adventure. Our tour is loaded with friendly advise derived from our own adventures and misadventures in Cosrta Rica on trips with friends and family. Travel the scenic roads with us to the tourist "hot spots" or not so touristy spots that just might be your "cup of tea or coffee." We have included some of our own photographs to punctuate the journey with informative and illustrative pictures that might resonate with you so as to guide you in creating your own tour. We have played "Twenty Questions"with our family and friends for years in order to try and determine what they might be interested in seeing and doing in the short time that they have in Costa Rica. The tour that we share with you is the compilation of the places and activities that our visitors enjoyed and remembered. Needless to say, I was surprised that some of our guests enjoyed extreme zip lining and parasailing so we've made it a point to include opportunities for many different types of excursions on our tour. Even if you have small children, we have included destinations that delight the little ones as well as the adults. Even though I've included travel directions, don't be afraid of being a little lost since you will most likely find unexpected and interesting places. Even if you only have a week or ten days, we guarantee that you will have experienced a good sampling of what Costa Rica has to offer. Also, we hope you will be like our friends, Nancy and Terry, and keep returning for more adventure.

I'm re-reading this book in preparation for our summer trip to Costa Rica. Typical travel guides can be confusing and intimidating. The beauty of “Traveling in Costa Rica with the Beat Bums” is its clear, readable, and enjoyable writing. Several itineraries are laid out for readers to follow. My family and will be primarily in the Guanacaste region, which is where the bulk of the book spends its time. But it also covers the southern Pacific coast, and it's tempting me to plan some farther excursions. :)
