Muchas gracias, Sonidos.
Travel agencies tell me that I do not need a passport to go to CR. All I need is driverse license and Proof of USA citizenship. Is that true?Will I have problem there without passport if I go for short time.
Any comments appreciated.
[QUOTE=NastyBoy]Muchas gracias, Sonidos.[/QUOTE]I'm going to be in CR from July 2 to July 8.
Anybody wants to meet there?
Cork Sucker,
You need a passport to enter Costa Rica.
Period.
Cork sucker,
You will never get out of the states without a pass port, less more get back in. You need to tell the people who gave you that information that they are in the wrong bussiness. I have been to Costa Rica twice in the past 4 months and everything is about your passport. Not really sure where you live but here in Florida I got my passport in about a week. It cost me a little extra to get the rush job, about 150 when all the costs were totaled, but now I have it and it lets me go anywhere in the world to hunt for pussy.
My first trip in Costa Rica I would of rated about a 7 on the fun meter and my second trip a 10. I just got better at shopping for the ladies and I knew where and when to go to places or clubs. I have yet to see any water or rain forest or any beach.
If you havn't gotten a hotel yet, stay at Morzan. $49.00 a nite on the weekends and $40 a nite weekdays (get the coupon out of the Tico Times). No chica fees, cool little bar with some hot ladies, and only 1 min walk to the Delray, the Sportmens Hotel. Sounds interresting but I looked for it on my last trip, but didnt find it. Taxi drivers are hit or miss on finding things you are looking for. I have 25 days until my next trip. It looks like the airfare is going up. My last flight was 305.00 round trip cant find anything less than 370 out of Tampa. I don't really want to fly out of Orlando where the flights are cheaper, about a 2 hour drive.
Good luck and if you need any more info, shoot me a message. I will be happy to respond.
WTF??!!!
I'm a lone traveling howling wolf. I don't see anything in my message implying I'm looking for a traveling partner.
BTW, that's a mighty strange nick for this board.

Cork Sucker,
What ACE said. You will not be able to board a flight in the US without a passport.
Also if the passport expires in less than 90 days they will not except it.

You won't get on the plane, because airline personnel are told to make sure you have one.

[QUOTE=Hink 90]Does anyone have info or experience with Bendricks International Mens Vacation Club? Its seems like a pretty good deal that includes airfare and escort at either a San Jose hotel or beach side resort for a Costa Rica virgin and wanna be mongerer.[/QUOTE]Pass on Bendicks.. you will be way overcharged, It is much cheaper and much more fun to pick out your own chica. Do you really want to be stuck with a limited menu, or even a chica that doesnt appeal to you at all? Picking up a chica in the Del Rey/Blue Marlin out of the 100s available is a no-brainer. Just dont pay over $100 USD, and she better be a 9 or 10 in your eyes for that. Beach areas are cheaper but less chicas/places to choose from. The Ticas know San Jose is where the action is.

O.D.
Hi Men,
I am thinking of going to San Jose in Sept/Oct and was wondering if anyone else is planning a trip? You can reach me offline - thank you - Rockhunter.
Also, and you can respond online, I was looking at Bendricks, any personal feedback on this organization or any others that might have a beach resort option? What are the chicas charging ? I don't want to pay too much and have this place escalate into a Cancun. :-) I was thinking of staying at the DelRey or the Morazon or the Sportsmans Club...any suggestions?
Thank you - Rockhunter
Your best bet for action is to stay in San Jose. There is very limited selection at the beach and none to speak of outside of Jaco, which is a dirty beach.
I would stay in San Jose the whole time or find a compatible chica there and invite her to accompany you to the beach, preferable in the northwest region.
Making sure you are compatible is hard. One essential is communication. Either you must speak good Spanish or she must speak good English. And ground rules are needed like not being on the cell phone all the time and not watching TV or sleeping all day.
If an agency (which are illegal) fixes you and she is not compatible it is very hard to turn her in for another. I have heard horror stories about this situation.
In summary I believe it is almost impossible to have you fixed up by a third party agency for a beach vacation with company that will work out.
I would disagree about having to speak the other's language good to get along. While it is highly helpful, you can get along with it if you've got a good attitude.
One of my fondest memories in the late 80's is going to the beach with a chica I got in San Jose. I had a little english/spanish dictionary that I was using the whole time.
For the first timer, San Jose is the best place to go on your first trip. I personally would avoid the places that charge a joiner fee (Del Rey). I've heard good things about the Presidente and Sportsman Lodge.
Most of the independant girls will ask for $100, but you can get it for 1/2 that price or less. It all depends on what girls you like. Some hot ones will not come off their $100 price and would rather go home with nothing in their pocket.
Rockhunter,
Just for your info: Sept. and Oct is the heart of the rainy season.
For your first trip: The Del Rey or Sportsman.
No problem with the rain in those.
RockHunter,
I can't believe you even asked about Bendricks! Did you even read the post immediately prior to yours? I doubt it. If you couldn't even manage to do that, I suppose asking you to do a little search through here first to answer your questions would be totally out of the question. If you are as lazy as you appear and need everything spoonfed to you then, yes, Bendricks is probably the program for you. Just be aware that you'll probably wind up paying at LEAST 2-3X what an equivalent vacation would cost the independent traveler. If, on the other hand, you decide to take a little risk and do some research I think you will find your time and effort will be well worth it.
Various agencies may promise attractive companions, but bait and switch is not uncommon. They may also offer exchanges, if you are unsatisfied, but that doesn't mean you will like the alternatives.
KYJ and Jaimito gave some really good advice. If chica action is your goal then SJ is the best place to be. For beach locations, Jaco is the only one that offers any serious P4P. As far as its beaches go, they are dirty and nowhere near as nice as many others in CR. Many guys with pussy on their mind overlook this and like going there anyway. Others prefer to find a chica companion to take with them instead and go to some better beach area.
Choosing a 24hr-multiday companion is not like picking out a shortterm girl. Mutual compatibility can be critical. The ability to communicate in a common language is certainly a HUGE help, but unless you speak fluent spanish, which I doubt, is going to be very hard to find. As JC says even if you only manage to communicate with each others broken language ability, you can still have a good time. Setting ground rules ahead of time is a great idea, but don't expect her to necessarily remember the rules once you get on the road.
Some other things to consider, which may or may not be important to you. Does she have any children at home that she will be worried about the whole time you're away? This is may well be the most important question. Its not necessarily a deal breaker as most chicas seem to have kids and most have mothers or someone else that can look after them, but my preference for traveling would still be one without. Is she a heavy smoker? That may not be so important for just an hour back in your room, but could be more of an issue when you're locked in a car together for a 4 hour drive. Similarly is she (or you) a heavy drinker? Does she have any annoying traits that will start to really get on your nerves? You're not going to be fucking 24hrs/day so does she like to cuddle too? Are you planning on any activities on your road trip like canopy tours or horseback riding, etc. and will she be joining you or hanging back at the pool? I could go on. What YOU need to ask really depends on you. My point is that you can never ask too many questions ahead of time and even then it still might not work out because she either lied or you forgot to ask about something. Always be prepared to send her home (paying for her time and busfare of course) if it doesn't work out, but then you're on your own.
Interviews are okay but perhaps the best way to find a girl that is compatible is to go with her on at least 1 or more short term dates ahead of time. Sexual compatability in bed is something that can be hard to determine in the bar. You just have to view your time together with a view towards how well it would wear over an extended time (and still ask all the questions).
One last thing, the prices JC was talking about were for short-term. $100/hr is the current ASKING price and most will come down to half or less for an hour or 2, though some won't. However for a 24hr/day travel companion you're likely to have to pay at least $100/day or more (plus travel costs such as meals, air or busfare etc.). You might be able to get a girl to go for much less if you and her really hit it off or she just wants a little paid vacation, but don't pay any more than $200/day ABSOLUTE MAX (probably much closer to $100)
Dear Gentlemen,
Thank you all for your sage advice, much appreciated.
