    Join us as we make the transition from Panama to Costa Rica. Today we take a roadtrip from San Jose to the sleepy beach town of Montezuma on the Nicoya Peninsula. We encounter delays, some bad decisions with directions and few potholes along the way, but the adventure of driving across such a beautiful country made it all worth it. Consider subscribing and follow along with us on our 10-year journey around the world. John and Bev

    I love these people. They travel without guides most of the time. It's like a free vacation every week! Go Retirement Travelers!!

    Wow, I can’t believe all your short cuts lead to a river you couldn’t cross!

      Yes, don’t trust Google maps in Costa Rica!! Beautiful country but some rough sections of road. We are having a great time here. John and Bev

    Diving in country always takes the adventure up a notch or two! But also increases the fun factor! Glad you finally made it to your destination without getting water logged!

      So glad you enjoyed it. Costa Rica has been an adventure. We think you will enjoy the Montezuma video as well. Our tour guide and cooking instructor were the best. Enjoy your holiday visit time and keep snuggling that 🐶❤️

    Costa Rica is a beautiful place. When we went it was pre-Google maps and smartphones. Luckily, someone told us to spend the extra money and rent a GPS with the rental car. We are so glad we did. Many of the roads are not marked.

    • @RetirementTravelers

      It is beautiful, but some of the roads were "interesting". 🤣
      Happy journeys,

    LOL. When we watched your FIRST international video, you just came out with your "Returning To The USA" video. Hello again! I last said hello after your cow-in-Portland, OR/Heifer Intl visit. Husband and I still watching your older videos in sequence, liking and loving all the way! Watching that first international video was just AWESOME! Post congratulations!!!

    You know we are a fan of ferries, so this one looks like a great way to add to your adventure!! What are you doing to use data in another country? Do you have a local plan, or do you pay to use your personal plan anywhere? So many dead ends! Awesome deal on the airbnb - those are my mind of prices!

    • @RetirementTravelers
      @RetirementTravelers  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. It was a beautiful ferry ride. We have switched our cell phone service to Google Fi for global service and it has worked well so far in Panama and Costa Rica. Hope this helps. John and Bev

      @@RetirementTravelers We just saw an add for this while traveling this year. It says it works in Canada, but I don't think it's advertised here. I have looked at the plans, and it seems like a really great deal! Appreciate the heads up, and the reminder this exists!

    Hey guys, thank for making these videos! I am looking at staying at the exact same place in December... what was the weather like? was it warm?

    • @RetirementTravelers
      @RetirementTravelers  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks so much for watching and glad you are enjoying the videos. If you need a good guide, we put Mario’s contact info in the next video. Weather was great. Won’t be cold. Now if you go up into the mountains to Monteverde, expect much cooler temps. Have a great 2022 and let us know how your trip goes. John and Bev
