Britney Spears is back in the Pacific Time Zone.

The popster touched down Monday night at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank after a long weekend of fun in the sun at Mel Gibson's beachside digs in northern Costa Rica.

Sources close to Spears tell E! News the rested mother of two had to be back in Los Angeles early this week to prep for a meeting with Kevin Federline to work on an even more evolved custody arrangement. Both sides' attorneys will be present and the heat is on—L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon has said he will set a trial date in August or September if they can't move forward on their own.

Meanwhile, it's unclear whether Jamie Spears was on his daughter's private flight back to the States, but we do know her William Morris agent—and designated ATV driver—Jason Trawick was along for the ride.

OK! Exclusive: Britney's Back!

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

After spending five relaxing days in the sun and surf of Costa Rica, Britney Spears has returned to her L.A. home.

An eyewitness tells OK! that the singer,26, who was vacationing in Costa Rica with Oscar winner Mel Gibson, her father Jamie Spears and her agent, Jason Trawick, arrived at Burbank's Bob Hope Airport shortly after 7:30 p.m. PT.

It was just last week that the world got to see a happier Britney frolicking in the waves and riding ATVs along the beach as she continues to recover from her whirlwind year.

Pictures showing Brit and Jason being affectionate and flirtatious with each other have sparked rumors that the two may be nurturing more than a professional relationship! Trawick is behind Brit's recent cameos on How I Met Your Mother.

But all good things must come to an end. Brit has to focus now on her on-going custody case with ex Kevin Federline. The two are scheduled to meet face-to-face in a private conference this week to hammer out the logistics of their custody agreement.

Commissioner Gordon has said that if the two can't come to an agreement, he will set a trial date for sometime in August or September.

Neither sleet nor rain nor, um, blowing sand will keep Britney Spears from enjoying her time in Costa Rica as Mel Gibson's houseguest.

The singer and her father touched down with Mel, his wife and some friends last Thursday, and she's been hitting the beach ever since.

Suffice it to say that we're appropriately jealous.

After weeks of working out at Bally's, Britney Spears strutted around in a bikini on the shores of Costa Rica over the weekend.

The singer, 26, has been soaking up the sun with her dad, Jamie, and actor Mel Gibson (her former Malibu neighbor) for the past few days.

On Sunday, she went body surfing. The day before, she zipped around the beach on an ATV and snapped photos of her dad relaxing in a lounge chair.

“She is just having some fun,” her former manager Larry Rudolph recently told Us Usmagazine.com of the singer. “She is doing well.”

Britney Due Back in L.A. Today

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

Though Britney Spears has been enjoying her time in Costa Rica with fellow scandal-magnet Mel Gibson and his family, OK! has confirmed that the pop star should be back home in Los Angeles as early as Monday morning, as her presence is required at an important meeting.

"She has a previously scheduled custody mediation meeting," one insider confirms to OK!, adding that it's highly unlikely the singer will call in sick to this gathering. "With the tight leash that her dad has on her, it would take an act of God for her to not be there."

Brit and Mel departed for his family home in Costa Rica last Thursday. The two have apparently grown close since their first meeting over dinner at Romanov in L.A. back in March.
