My 18yo daughter and I will be leaving on the Costa Rica adventure in just over two weeks, and I have a couple questions for anyone that's been.
1. For the white water rafting, what is the most recommended footwear? Water shoes, sandals with heel strap, etc.? I have a pair of hiking shoes that are waterproof, but socks may still get wet and be uncomfortable the rest of the day.
2. How much cash did you bring, and was it USD or local currency? I know the guides can be tipped in cash, and I believe there are one or two meals on your own. For everything besides tips for guides, can most be taken care of by credit card?
3. For the zip-lining, I am 5'9'' and right at the listed weight limit. If anyone was close to the limit, do you know if they weigh you there, or is it more being able to fit in the equipment? I've lost about 30 lbs. leading up to this trip and still have a couple weeks to go, but I just want to be sure I can participate. This is one of the days my daughter and I are looking forward to the most.
Any additional information is greatly appreciated (time on the bus, your favorite parts of the adventure, etc.). Thanks in advance for any responses!!!
