SAN JOSE, Costa Rica -- As reported yesterday on AccessHollywood.com, Britney Spears and Mel Gibson flew to Costa Rica on Thursday. And now, more details have surfaced about the celebrity pair's getaway.

Britney, Mel, Brit's father (Jamie Spears) and Mel's wife (Robyn Moore) landed at San Jose's main airport on Thursday, and when they get off the plane, the pop star hid herself under an umbrella to hide from photographers, according to the Costa Rican newspaper Al Dia.

From there, the trio boarded a private jet to one of Gibson's reported several homes in the country, in the northwest beach region of Guanacaste.

A source in Costa Rica told Access Hollywood that all of the immigration details were handled aboard the second plane, so that the celebrities could avoid going into the terminal.

Costa Rica's Al Dia newspaper originally reported that they were heading to the Nosara airport on the Nicoya peninsula, directly west of San Jose. Mel owns a 163-hectare cattle ranch in Samara, near Nosara, which he reportedly purchased in 2007 for $25.8 million. The property is located in an area of outstanding natural forest and beautiful beaches.

Meanwhile, La Nacion (Costa Rica's largest newspaper), reported that their entire party is actually in Esterones, Guanacaste.

Mel's home in Guanacaste could be Gibson's third home in the country; he also reportedly has a residence in Escazu, a wealthy suburb of San Jose.

According to a report in People, Mel and Britney are, "just going away for a few days to relax."

    She is taking a vacation?? From what? She, like most of these idiots in hollywood don't do anything other than sleep, party and spend all their money on crap they can't take with them when they die. Vacation! OMG, that makes me laugh. Maybe they are making a movie together, called Idiots in Postions of Power. LOL

    Mel Gibson oviously has his own personal issues, However he might be able to extend first hand advice to the Britster about how to deal with hers? Probably better than Dr. Phil! It takes one to Know One! If they are both mental cases, this could be a disaster. Hope is all we have in some instances. The desire to want to correct a problem is the first step. Focus and a Plan could work?

    Wake up! Mel and wife Robyn went with Brit and her dad. Do you think Mel needs to hang out with Brit on any level??? He's had his own spiritual/psychological probs. with the Hollywood/media life and now he/his wife are obviously reaching out to her (they have a bunch of kids)to help her get her spirit/soul/head straightened out.. how very gracious and kind of them ...this is God's
