Driving times in Costa Rica

[NJPete]

I was hoping that i might enlist some aid from people whom are familiar with Costa Rica and driving times. So far i have been unsuccessful with the usual sites so i thought i could ask here.

I am interested in knowing an estimated driving time between the following towns

Alajuela to Samara :

Samara to Bejuca (south of Jaco North of Quepos) :

Bejuca to Alajuela :

and if anyone had any experience with the ferry between Puntanares and Paquera please let me know your experience.

I am hoping to make the drive from Samara to Bejuca in one day and possibly utilizing the ferry mentioned above.

thanks in advance.
