If money were no option and I had unlimited vacation then I would definitely do it, even if just to say I did.
Removing Skywalker Ranch is a big minus, especially with how difficult it is to get there. Although I feel like the ranch isn't necessarily better than other Napa hotels you can just visit.
Yeah, I'm running into this trying to possibly plan back-to-back ABDs in a couple of years. My mom and I want to do Peru in 2025 and I thought it would be fun to also do Costa Rica so we could cross a couple of things off of our list in one go. Little did I know how hard it is to get from Peru to Costa Rica...
Aeromexico is probably your most straightforward solution. The others would mostly be low cost carriers.
Yeah, that's what I'm finding and probably what we'll end up doing assuming there are two itineraries that can make that happen.
Yeah, it's definitely for people with more money than time. Flying to the parks on your own isn't difficult, but you'll have to long travel days.
Oh I see what the issue is, yes that is tough.
It's possible we can make it work. In 2024 there's one Peru trip that ends on 6/27 and a Costa Rica that starts on 6/29. If we can get something that lines up like that it'll be great. Unfortunately its way more expensive to fly to Costa Rica first from where we live, so it'll probably only work if we do Peru first.
Just curious, how have you been searching for airline fares?I ask because it might be better to try an open jaw flight from home to Costa Rica and then Lime to home, then book the middle flight separately. I've saved a lot of money on European trip this way, combining a big Delta flight with intermediate European carriers.
That's what I've been looking at and it's still a lot more expensive to do the Costa Rica leg first than it is to do the Peru leg first. We're on the west coast and not in a major city. The cost of getting to (and parking) in a major city (and then having to drive home after a long trip) makes it far more practical for us to fly in and out of our smaller regional airport, and it's just too expensive to get from here to Costa Rica, whereas it's relatively easy to get from here to Lima. It also seems to be easier/less expensive to get from Peru to Costa Rica than it is to get from Costa Rica to Peru.
I haven't seen anything yet, but it's still 3 weeks until it goes, so there's still a chance someone will start up a report or blog about it.
It makes *me* wonder how much of that $109,995 will be deducted off his taxes?
Thanks for the link. I'm glad at least the swag is upgraded for a $109,995 trip!
