Call me on my cell phone when you get to the Rey and I'll meet you for a beer. Ed 8-336-7636. Last night at the Rey was extra slow. Very few girls. Sunday night and Valentines day probably the reason. Everything else is normal. Beautiful weather, beautiful girls, more fun than a man deserves.

Will be in San Jose Feb 17 about 10 at night and 18th and maybe 19th. Anyone want to go get a drink and maybe check out the scene. Feel much safer to have a wingman.

I'm staying at Del Rey

What is the best time travel to CR? Is the chica selection better during peak tourist season (DEC-APR). Or is it better during the other months.

I did luck out and got a flight on American for $400 RT out of Tampa for a return next month. Not bad, but about $80 more than I'm used to paying!
Already booked into the Del Rey. Hope they got the elevator cables lubed up

I got a flight with Delta from DC round trip for $478, one stop in Atlanta. Seems like about $400 RT is the going rate.

I will be there this wens till tues. I have not booked a hotel yet...is that a problem? I was looking at the Amistad or Del ray or Sportsman.

I feel the Amistad wiill be the cheapest and less hassle with company.

If you want to stay at Amistad or Sportsman book soon. I am planning on being there week of February 16th and they were almost sold out.

Jason,
You can pm pops1 and he can give you info on his tours. I took his tour my first trip to Costa Rica and it helped me and my wingmen get the lay of the land. It was well worth the cost. You should also join CRT to get the most up to date info.

Pura Vida

Hey Everybody,

I am Going to CR on March 4 thur the 8th. This will be my first trip there and i am looking for someone to show me around and maybe have a few beers with.

I would like to make the best of my trip, if your going to be there please send a PM with your phone number and i will call you. Also if you need any help with the girls in WPB just let me know I can point you in the right direction. Hopefully someone will repley to this message. I will be at the sportsman lodge for the duration of my stay.

Thanks

Airfares have spiked across the board. I saved more than $200.00 by moving my departure date a day earlier. Of course, I am going during a Holiday Weekend(President's Day) so that obviously played a role. Leaving Thursday Feb. 11 direct out of Newark Airport and returning Sun. Feb. 14 direct back to Newark on Continental would have set me back more than $600, round trip, compared to $400 departing Wednesday Feb. 10 and returning Sun. Feb. 14, also direct both ways.

Last year for the same weekend I paid less than $400 direct round trip on Continental. All of the other airlines I searched for my upcoming trip, including American, US Airways, United, Jet Blue, Spirit, Taca and Delta were no better and did not offer direct flights. Mexicana was less than $400.00 out of JFK but would have required spending a night in Mexico City(which I wouldn't mind as much if this wasn't a short trip).

Just one more factor among many which detract from our hobby during a period of decline. Anyone think any of the Del Rey hotties will be sympathetic with their pricing if I explain my air fare struggle?

Pura Vida, BM.

Hey guys,

I've been reading the posts for my first CR trip. I'll be there from 22nd for the weekend if any of you would be interested in hanging out and get some actions at different venues.

David,

Where are you going to be.

I'm at the Sportsman's Lodge and can get you pointed in the right direction.

Since that post of mine, only one week ago, AA is now $538 for the same $330 flight during Feb and March that I was considering. Delta in mid-Feb, mid-March is over $620. Spirit is the only one half realistic, at $323.42 without joinging their $9 club. Add on the seat charges and their up near $400. May have to re-think this.

Just wonder if anyone on here has some inside info on the airfare outlook over the next month or two. Right now on AA from Tampa, flights are about $330 to SJO. I want to lock something in for March, but not sure if they're going to drop at all. Just saw a gas station raising prices today due to crude costs, but airlines buy in contracts. Now it also appears there may be increased screaning at airports which will be tacked onto airfares, I'm sure. Seems like the airline industry can never catch a break. Which means the consumer gets screwed too. Just curious.

I'll be in Town Jan 20 to 26. Id be down to meet up for a few beers and check out the town. It will be my first time there too. Which hotel you gunna stay at? I'm debating between Del Ray and Sportsman.

[MikeNice2732]

I just booked a round trip ticket on AA from Bos to SJO for $403. 42 including all taxes 2/2 to 3/2. Rental car for the month for 360 and apt for $800 with 2 people it was 980 each all done on Orbitz (just in case you were in need of that info). Seems like not a bad time to go. I am looking for info on Tamarindo which is close to Playa Grande where I am staying. Anything happening there or will I have to make the LONG drive to San Jose every time for my mongering. Any help would be appreciated and I will surely post anything I learn when I get back.

If you are leaving from Florida to go to CR - try MartinAir out of Miami....they have had some great discount deals in the past----but don't know what their current prices are like.

Also Spirit Air goes out of Ft Lauderdale and they typically have some great discounts deals to San Jose - if you can get a ticket and a seat.
