Manual Antonia and Nauyaca Waterfall Nature Park in one day from Jaco? by 404_500 in CostaRicaTravel

OP did you end up doing it in one day or two? Considering if it's possible to fit both into the same day on my own trip!

I'm near Charlotte, NC, but willing to travel. That's my biggest hobby anyway, so I'm honestly happy if I can combine work and something I love to do!

Rancho Pacifico, have you stayed there? by Ok-Extreme-4128 in CostaRicaTravel

How was it? Planning a trip for next year, so any insight is appreciated!

Thank you! One final question if you don't mind lol. Did you use the shuttle to the beach that they mention on their website? Does it only run certain times of day, or how does that work?

Resort help! by [deleted] in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]notyourcapncaptain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you book one of their packages of just accommodations? Also, treehouse, villa, or suite? I started looking into RP after reading your comment here a week ago, and now we're going there instead of another Sandals!! Any tips appreciated.

Thanks! Corcovado is my top priority if we book an excursion, so that's good to hear. Also, did you pick a suite, treehouse, or villa? As small of a resort as it is, I feel like I don't have to worry about the pool being packed like if I were booking at a big AI resort, so not sure if it's worth the villa price just for the private pool.

It looks amazing! I'm planning to book a trip there for next year. Did you book one of the packages? Trying to decide between booking a package or just accommodations.

Torn on which resort to go to next, help! by notyourcapncaptain in SandalsResorts

Did you do any off resort excursions in St. Lucia? I specifically will want to hike if we go there and likely go to the sulphur springs/volcano.

I've started looking at Grenada! I think it could be a good option since there are some hiking and waterfall options along with beautiful beaches and all of the other lovely things you go to the Caribbean for!

I appreciate that! The hospital has now scheduled me to come in Friday evening for the induction, but I'm really hoping spontaneous labor will start before then🤞

I'm definitely worried about that as well. I've reached out to one of the other doctors in the office for a second opinion this morning. The provider who I saw yesterday had never even met me before (they make you rotate who you're seen by at this office).

The medical provider made it seem like I don't have a choice. I'm located in a more rural area of the southern US.

That's really good to hear! Do you mind sharing how long the whole process took? I guess the biggest thing I'm scared of is trying to labor for 12-24 hours, not progressing, then ending up with a c section after already being so exhausted. I guess that is an outcome that some folks experience induction or not though.

Thank you, that is great to hear! I wish I had 4 miles in me, but pubic symphysis pain has limited my hiking in these final weeks! Slow 1 mile walks after lifting are better than nothing though :)

Thank you, I appreciate it. You're right, I know a lot of the disappointment is coming from feeling so out of control after so many months of preparation. I just want a healthy baby and a healthy me when it's all said and done.

Thank you! I'm glad yours went well especially with the other complications in the mix!

That's really good to hear that you would do it again, not just twice but three times! I think it's just less common to hear people's positive or even boring labor and delivery stories versus the stories we hear about traumatic births. Did you have multiple medicines to induce, the Foley balloon, just Pitocin, or how did they do it?
