So my bud is turning the big 4-0. To celebrate we’re doing an epic guys trip to Costa Rica! I’m so excited, it’s going to be so much fu — wait what? I’m not going? HOW DARE. Apparently Nicholas and his other best bud Drew who is also turning 40 are going by themselves. The only reason I’m even posting some of these photos is to make Nicholas feel bad for excluding me and remind him of all the adventures he owes me.

First they landed in San Jose and chartered a small plane to take them to Corcovado National Refuge.

So angry.

Then they had a crazy driver take them in a jeep across the jungle over rivers to a boat that took them to a resort on the ocean and river called “Aguila de Osa”.

Real nice. Yeah, real nice guys.

They went hiking, kayaking, did a private tour through the jungle looking for wild animals including monkeys, bats, my nemesis coatis and other exotic things, and even went on a night tour looking for giant frogs, spiders and other jungle crawlies.

Blood boiling.

Then back to San Jose where they hung out in the city for a day before taking a bus to a family coffee plantation for breakfast and then to the next resort in the middle of the jungle that is only accessible via white water rafting. I guess given that it’s only accessible by water I feel a little less upset. But it was fleeting. I’m mad.

ANOTHER 5 STAR RESORT IN THE JUNGLE? Yeah this time it had a tree house with ziplines, buried in indigenous land where they were able to visit with the natives. It’s called Paquare Lodge and it’s situated on the Paquare river.

I’m not even going to talk about the rest. I’m too upset. There had better be an even better trip to make up to me. Soon. You hear me Nicholas??
