COSTA RICA

Brent and I decided to go on a last-minute getaway before returning to school.  I didn't take many pictures...just wanted to relax and enjoy time with my man.  We stayed in an all-inclusive resort in the Gulf of Papagayo, on the Pacific coastline.  The scenery was beautiful.  We also had some wildlife, MANY monkeys in the trees around the property.  We had a wonderful time soaking up the sun and hanging out by the water.  We went on a boat tour one morning along the beautiful cliffs.  On another day, we went to the Playas del Coco downtown area.  It was a great little beach town, and the locals were so friendly.

SORRENTO

From Capri we took another boat over to Sorrento. Neither of us had been to Sorrento before. It was a really neat town...a great last stop! The next morning we docked in Roma, and headed straight to the airport to go home. It was a wonderful trip!








We had fresh fruit granitas. Yummy!

CAPRI

Our last port was Napoli (other than ending in Roma). We took a hydrofoil to Capri and went up to Ana Capri for a little while. The blue grotto was closed that morning. So we didn't stay in Capri all day, since we had both been before.




SANTORINI

Brent and I have wanted to go to Santorini for so long! It lived up to our expectations and more! It was GORGEOUS! We tendered in to Fira and then went to another small town on the tip of the island, Oia. From Oia we went to one of the black beaches. After getting some sun, we went back to Fira and did last minute shopping and got our last gyros.





















RHODES

We toured Rhodes Old Town and the Palace of the Grand Masters before heading to the beach in the afternoon.
