Lucky you live Costa Rica. . .

Is what 95 percent of the guests say when we talk to them. That, indeed, is the case.

However, just because everyone else is on vacation, it doesn't mean that we are.

For example, yesterday, we had just two tree houses checking out and two checking in. There was also a tree house that was moving from one tree house to another.

8 a.m.: More tree houses show up at the rancho for breakfast.

8:10 a.m.: Private transportation to pick up departing guests arrives outside the gate.

8:25 a.m.: Wildlife rescue center is late; a phone call and they say they're on their way to pick up the family.

8:30 a.m.: Guests that will be changing rooms finish breakfast and are ready to head out.

8:32 a.m.: Run up to another tree house, collect the keys and the gate opener before they hike to the waterfall, so the other guests can have the keys when they return later in the day.
