One of the best tips i can give you is to practice your surfing. If you are there and you don't know how to surf then try a surfing course or something it's a great place for surfers.

Other then that it's a small country with lots of attractions try hiking in rain forests , snorkeling or just enjoy the beaches. 

To get there you will have to book a flight to Juan Santamaría International Airport. AA , America west, Delta, Mexicana, continental, have daily flights from major American cities. 

You can also get there by car but it will be difficult for an American citizen to many troubles on the way.
