How to plan a Costa Rica honeymoon trip:
I would like to plan a honeymoon trip in mid April 2005 (2 months from
now), and am considering Costa Rica as a possible destination.  I am
not good at researching or planning trips, so I would like to know:
- is this a good time of year to go to Costa Rica?
- are there routes/trips that enable a wide range of activities to
satisfy our different interests -- e.g., seeing natural
landscape/mountains, relaxing on beach, doing some action/adventure
activities, shooting photo-journalistic photography (my fiance is a
photographer), shopping/dining/partying in hip towns, etc.?
- What are the best travel planning agencies/sources for booking our
trip if we want a well supported but authentic experience -- i.e., not
totally on our own with no map or power, but not totally "tourist trap
trip with canned agenda and annoying guide with umbrella/megaphone
barking orders" either?

Also would be helpful to know what the "market rate" is for a two
person/10 day trip to Costa Rica in April including air (from
Philadelphia) and lodging.

Thanks!

I have been searching the internet quite a bit for a trip to Costa
Rica later in the year.  I have found a very interesting tour outfit. 
They will customize any trip you want and can have a personal tour
guide.  I haven't talked with them yet, but they have a great website
with tons of information.  They are not real cheap, but they sound
like they can provide whatever you need to get the most out of a trip
to CR.
