7/4/11:  Head home or head to your next destination

Please note that if you are flying out of San Jose, you will likely have to leave Tamarindo the night before your flight and stay the night somewhere closer to the airport.  This is due to the travel time to the airport.  You must get to the airport at least 3 hours before your flight departs, but you may want to give yourself additional time.  Most of the flights back into the US leave in the morning, so to be safe, you should be in San Jose the night before.  Please note there will be a $26 departing tax that you can pay at the airport or take care of before you arrive at the airport.
