It pays to be in the know.

I received a fancy color brochure from my university in Atlanta offering an alumni tour of a week's cruise on the coast of Costa Rica with tours to the nature sites for "only" $3000 each person, double occupancy, excluding airfare. More if you want a cabin on the upper deck. That is $6000 plus airfare, or more, excluding alcohol and tips.
They stop at about five sites such as parks, and do a day tour with a guide. A small ship is used to do the tour which is hosted by Lindblad Expeditions.

I believe that I could find and pay a female companion, hire a fine automobile and driver/guide for a week, and stay in big first class hotels, see the same sites for half what this alumni tour is charging.

After the cruise they drive to San Jose where a flight to MIAMI is taken. You then transfer to a plane to Atlanta.
Are they even aware that there are two non-stop daily flights to Atlanta from San Jose?

Well, I think RBC100 just fainted. I guess the old saying "a fool and his/her money are soon parted" is true.

Yeah, Ace, but it's with all your old buds from GT (Go Jackets!). Plus
you just can't beat those midnight buffets!!!

They're probably picking up a bunch of UM fans in Miami to go with y'all!

Not the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets,
but Emory University School of Law. Go Eagles....

(who??)

Oops, my bad.

I didn't even know Emory had a mascot. Do they have a sports program?

For about $300 per day, you pay for a private cruiser out of Los Suenos and cruise the entire Pacific coast with CHICAS. This is a total rip-off.

For that kind of money I could travel Costa Rica for a month or two with plenty fo chicas along the way. Just anouther tourist trap ripoff. I much prefer to avoid the tourist scene and do my own thing. rbc100
