My oh my, it was just two days from now, November 30th of 2004, that I landed in Costa Rica and stepped into the Del Rey for the first time… Almost exactly a year later, here I am with 10 trips under my belt, three Post of the Month wins and a plethora of memories, both good and bad, but by far mainly good. I wanted to take the time to review my first year of enjoying the Paradise we call Costa Rica…

Almost exactly a year ago on Nov 30, I stepped into the jaws of the Blue Marlin for the first time, and I can say with all certainty that I was just an innocent pup back then… I was stuck in a miserable marriage and found just the perfect excuse to sneak away with two of my closest friends to discover this place called the Del Rey, which all my buddies that work for the airlines seemed to swear by as THE place to have some adult fun. Del Rey definitely did it for me, the non-stop action, the vast abundance of honey-bunnies to choose from, the sheer rawness and carnality that you feel tingling through you as you hang out there and play the game of hunting for your next big adventure… never a dull moment of the legendary DR and it’s sister-station, the Key Largo. And that place kept me quite entertained for about the first four trips… besides one session in Oasis, all my adventures up until May were from DR/KL, and I was one of the very few on this board that swore by the place… All that changed in May when I met my close friend and brother GetRhythm.

GetRhythm, my what a character… he helped me discover the joy of threesomes (and foursomes, fivesomes, and even a six-some once…) as well as managed to get me out of the confines of that one block radius where the Del Rey is located, and I met many wonderful other people from CRT in the process… but I’ll touch on that later. Another particular thing that GetRhythm helped improve me was by convincing me to stay at another hotel other than the Del Rey… Man, that was one of his hardest battles ever with me, and when I finally gave in and tried the Sportsman’s for the first time, I never looked back… The staff, the mood, the food, the atmosphere, the overall quality of life there was just so much more relaxed and of a much better scale… hell, even the kittens frequenting the place at the time were phenomenally hot, what with girls like Melissa, Daisy, Nichole, Cynthia, and Karen looking as phenomenally as they did back then and going for half the going rate of what I was used to being asked for at Del Rey, well, this place just had me at “Hello.” And though I am fast forwarding I must say that even to this day, I refuse to stay anywhere else but the Sportsman’s Lodge when in paradise. But back again to GetRhythm… it’s funny how much we have both evolved and grown over the last year, and I gotta say this publicly… GR, you are and will remain my friend, my brother, my wingman, and my Ambassador of Poon for all the days to come. We enjoyed CR this year like no other two can even come close to claiming, and within all the chaos and debauchery we partook in, we discovered within ourselves a yearning for something more which wasn’t quite being fulfilled, and we have been truly lucky to have found special people amidst the wildness and crazines, people who searched beyond the surface and saw something special within us. We truly have enjoyed the very best of Costa Rica and are even luckier in the fact that bums like us were even looked upon by the gems we possess today.

Record-wise for the year, GR still has me beat, with 26 girls in five days, whereas the best I could muster was a measly 23 girls in five days… but I still claim GR cheated, what with his 5-on-1 with the Sportsman’s girls and all… but oh well. Being that GR is 18 years my senior, I have to humbly say he was very much the better man in terms of libido and endurance. Kudos to ya, GR!!

Another thing I discovered with GR were the strip clubs… my oh my, do I have some fond memories with the honey bunnies from Kamur, Pantera Rosa and Le Grillion… Some of those girls will forever fall within my personal ‘Top Ten dirtiest encounters EVER’ category. Kelly from Kamur, Dana from Grillion, Dana, Dani, Stephanie and Sandra from Pantera Rosa…. Whew, I’m almost about to start sweating right now with just the memories of those kittens. This year saw the fall of the mighty support that existed in CRT for Kamur… and also the banning of me from said establishment for assisting in that to happen. It’s funny, to this day I still think Kamur is in my top 3 favorite strip clubs in San Jose, and I know that as soon as the current owner and management are permanently out of the picture and someone with true customer service in mind takes over, that place will enjoy the loyal support of the CRT fanclub once again. Until then, I will still swear by Pantera Rosa again and again… my, what adventures have been had by the GR/RN dynamic duo there…. (*sigh*).

And one cannot forget the MP’s… and personally I can only speak of one place with true conviction… Zona Blue. Lots of changes have taken place for this little blue building in 2005. We all got to see the place grow and evolve over the months, with the Cigar Bar opening and the remodeling and the new wave of absolutely gorgeous honey-bunnies that come and go with time. We saw Blonde Ambition’s mighty rise and quick fall at the ZB. Some of us were lucky to see the cat-fight between Magaly and Melanie (where tiny little innocent Melanie opened up a can of Ghetto Whoop-Ass on Magaly). We’ve seen the arrival of stunning beauties like Cindy, Blonde Ambition, and others as we’ve also had to say goodbye to some favorites of ours, such as Tania, Leidi, Laura, Johanna, Melanie, and Sharon, just to name a few. It’s been quite an interesting scenario, looking at the constant comings and goings of the kittens among the MP’s, but there’s one thing you can bet your bottom dollar on… Rachel will definitely still be working at ZB until she can collect Social Security… she’ll never leave. We’ve seen asses as well as boobs grow (Stefani and Natasha), we’ve seen some get thinner while others grew ever bigger… but it’s all been consistently fun the whole time around.

As stated before, this year saw the end of a long and difficult marriage… and it also subsequently saw me have quite the wild run in CR with the kittens. It was not odd to see me take two or three at a time, or to see me treat a whole section of the bar to Jagerbombs. It was fun and it was wild, but at the end of each trip, it was unfulfilling. The more time I spent in CR, the more I got to truly know a handful of the many kittens in the business. I learned more and more of the seedy backstage they sometimes get thrown into at a very young age which casts them up in a vicious cycle that is very hard to get out of. I learned of the verbal, psychological, and sometimes the rare physical abuses they sometimes have to endure from clients… and of course I learned of the kittens’ own deceptive natures and sketchy ways… I’ve found myself wondering which is the cause of which, kind of like what came first, the chicken or the egg… but that is an issue that can be debated for many years to come with no solid answer.

Another place with much change has been CRT. My, how many cool and wonderful people I have met this year through CRT… Too many to mention, too few to ever forget. The crowd has grown, and we’ve seen some mighty interesting characters flash brightly and then fade away into the night…I’ve seen the opening of the Smack Talk and the Newbie Sections… I’ve seen the founding of the M-Men club, which is still a topic of some discussion here and then, and now we’ve even seen a revamp and upgrade to our pics archive…

I can’t believe that less than a year ago (Dec 8th), I was member #1665 to join CRT… now the number of members less than a year later is at an astronomical 5073!! Now THAT is amazing. Congrats to Tomas and Ed for that… Your hard work truly shows in the results.

So then there were the Sexy Bitches… lol, I’m not even sure how far back ago I started using that catchphrase, but it somehow transcended into the posts of CRT and BAM!!, the beginning of a small tradition began. GR and I, who always made an effort to meet the management and staff at all the establishments we frequented, decided to take it upon ourselves to create a little tour every trip for the newbies, with VIP status intended the whole night. Slowly it grew, and by Sexy Bitches Club Tour #2, the thing was a HUGE success. Just the kickoff party at Sportsmans was something people still compliment me about… The place was jam-packed, the naked honeys dancing on stage with countless colones and dollar bills on their g-strings… Shit, the pictures of that night are still on display on the screensaver of the SL bar… and that was just the first leg of the trip. All I’ve got to say is that Sexy Bitches Tours are just getting started, and the one set for SuperBowl Weekend will completely and totally blow the old one out of the water. Sexy Bitches took an interesting turn when it also got implemented into a poker tournament, of which we have had three so far… The first-place winners of 2005 are BookemDanno, Ruffnutz (yeah, I won one), and a dude named Rod. And of course, Vegas Bob took fourth place on all three tournaments… congrats to all.

So what does that leave me with to review… well, I guess myself. Its interesting how things have changed in my head over the past year. I just read through all of my trip reports, and I can’t help but have a huge smile on my face… It’s been an awesome run, filled with some very wild times. My secret passion for writing has shown in my trip reports and I’ve truly enjoyed writing them almost as much as actually experiencing the moments I have gone through. There were some close calls throughout the year… broken condom on trip #1, emotional chaos with Eva, drama and more drama from so many of the honeys…drama so intense I could write a novel on some the things that have happened.

And then three months ago, just like that, I met someone special, and Ruffnutz retired his jersey and hasn’t looked back since. Though I have no intentions of speaking of this on a personal level on this board, I can say with no worries that I am happy and I am fulfilled with this special lady from Costa Rica. Do I miss the game and the hunt and the wild adventures?.... Phuck yeah, I do. Of course I do… But every morning that I wake up with this special person next to me, this warm beautiful creature who has never had to rush out the door and into the night for some bullshit excuse at 7 in the morning, this woman whom never has asked me for so much as a dime in order to treat me nicely, a woman so into me that she’ll go out of her way to satisfy me for no other reason than that she likes me, even just the way she looks into my eyes and I don’t see anything but joy and longing in her own…I get a sense of satisfaction and contentness at waking up in the arms of this someone special that not even the wildest and dirtiest of sexcapades ever came close to doing… and THAT means the world to me right now. Will this last forever?... Well, NOTHING lasts forever, but one can always hope. Will I make a return and un-retire my jersey someday?... One can never tell what the future brings, but for now, I’m getting all I want and then some… I think I’ll let the working girls of Costa Rica get a well-deserved rest from Ruffnutz.

And so my first year of enjoying Costa Rica has finally come around, and coincidentally, 2005 is also almost at a close. It’s been a wonderful run… If 2006 is even half as fun as 2005, it will still be pretty damn good. To all the brothers and ‘Goodfellaz’ I have met on my journey, THANK YOU, you’ve all helped make this first year something I shall not soon forget. To all the ladies who helped make my wildest fantasies and dreams come true throughout the year, I hold you in the highest respects and regards… I wish I could make life easier and better for all of you, but in the end it’s hard enough just trying to save myself, that’s a 24-7 job in itself…

And to everyone who reads this, I hope their year was as fun or at least interesting as mine. I wish everyone good health and happiness in 2006 (though I know it’s a month early in doing so).

May the best of moments past be the worst of those to come.

Thanks for reading, take care, and Pura Vida Bitches!!

Ruffnutz

only 10 trips you must not like CR your jersey is still hanging from the rafters at the dr. so many kittens so little time HAPPY GATITAS

Nice summary ... i can relate oh what a difference a year (well my case 17 months) can make

Ruff,
Let me say that it was a pleasure to finally meet you on this past trip. You are true gentleman, and I look forward to seeing you on future trips. I now know that you and I speak the same language.

As far as your current situation (novia), I congratulate you on finding that special someone. She is a beautiful woman, and I wish you both the best. I can certainly relate to what you're feelin'!

Great thread, and I look forward to '06!

All the best to you and yours,
Mikey B.

RN, good post, it was good meeting & hanging with you and GR. See you for the crazy SB weekend in +/- 63 days.

I was in the afternoon and I was sitting in the CRT HH section at the BM and some guy sticks his head in the door and asks "have you ever heard of CRT" the rest is history. Had a great time with you on one of your early trips. I am glad that everything is going well for you. See you in paradise one of these days.

Two trips with the dynamic due of RN & GR is about all I could stand. Being an old man like I am I had to start going to another country before they totally wiped me out. I did enjoy our moments together and it was fun helping with SBtour #2 sound track etc.. All I can say is I havn't partied like we partied anywhere else. I thought I had found that special someone in CR but something was missing there. I did however find that someone in another country! All I can say is Colombians rule....at least for me. RN I hope things continue going well for you my brother and for GR as well. MAYBE I will return to CR someday, right now Venezuela has my full attention

Nice post Ruff...are you going for award #4? You cant use the prize anymore you know .

It has been fun watching your progress even from a distance this past year. The best angle for me was your "sexy bitches" tour taking the pressure off my former "Sleazeball tours". You guys are younger and have more energy than me...plus...I work for a living .

May the next year double your pleasure and meaning to life. PURA VIDA!

Tman.....don't you mean "doble" your pleasure and that will be "quintuple" the value of meaning to life.

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Ruff, great post. It was great to finally meet you in October.

RN anothergreat post, never have met you (althuogh we have several mutual friends).....maybe at the Superbowl this year......

I know you take good care of that lady of yours, she is a sweetheart and you are a very lucky man. She speaks highly of you.

Ruff,

Wow - looking back and reading your post, all I can think is "did all that shit really happen"? Just a little over a year ago, I was but a green newbie myself - and but for meeting a friend on a volleyball vacation to Cabo in Mexico who was headed to CR two weeks later, might never even had heard about the CR mongering scene. A frantic Internet search prior to that first trip last November led me to CRT, and I guess you could say the rest is history.

I've been lucky enough to make eight trips over that time span, and looking back, I'm amazed at how fortuitous the timing has been - especially regarding the good fortune to hook up with you on Trip #3 - and then just how often we managed to hit the "sweet spot" in our subsequent adventures.

Ah - so many highlights, I hardly know where to begin. The initial shock and awe walking into the Blue Marlin (which for me, wore off quickly)...the glorious early "pre-remodeling" backroom adventures at Kamur (sorry you missed out on that one, bro)...the awesome heyday of Blond Ambition at Oasis and then later at ZB...the Motel Eden stealth operations...the early bargain-basement deals to be had from the independents at Sportsmen's...the amazing Cigar Bar opening and CRT anniversary parties at ZB...the wild Sexy Bitch tour outings to Pantera Rosa and Le Grillon - well, you get the idea.

And who would have thought that a middle-aged, laid-back Southern California gringo PSE, LAL guy like me would mesh so well with a take-charge, charismatic Puerto Rican by way of NYC and Atlanta babe magnet, GFE drama queen like yourself? Anyway, it worked for sure, and I'm both proud and honored to call you my friend and brother.

And yes, we've definitely evolved over this time, and I think grown as well. From Trip #1 through the beginning of Trip #6 (peaking with the gloriously prolific Trip #4 referenced in Ruff's post), the foremost thought in my mind was simply what way can I possibly push the envelope this time to reach some new level of outrageous carnal debauchery? But after the novelty of living out all your wildest fantasies wears off, where does that leave you? Well, in my case, alone and unfulfilled. But all that changed midway through Trip #6, when I hooked up with someone amazing - a very special girl who through the constancy of her love and willingness to accept me as I am - warts and all - showed me I could once again open my heart to the possibility of something better. And wherever the future leads from here, I'll be forever in her debt just for doing that for me.

In closing, I just want to give my props to all the awesome CRT good fellas and sexy bitches I had the opportunity to either party and/or spend extended time with over the past year - particularly Sparkchaser69, Pan T Dropper, Ohio Bob, Rear Window, Yunoit, Hand-Solo, Tman, Gustinado, Diego, El Ciego, Witling, Nucknfuts, Vegas Bob, Rolex, Tomas, Pelo de Gato, Horny Bastid (where ARE you man?), Tunaman, Underdog, and 3pkrdbillygoat (God, I hope I'm not forgetting anyone...) - and to all the other CRT'ers I was fortunate enough either to meet in person or correspond with on the board. And major props as well to our awesome CRT Admins, and to the incredible management and staff at my two favorite CR hangouts - Sportsmen's Lodge and Zona Blue.

Thanks to all for everything - and here's to an even more fulfilling 2006!

GR

That's exactly what happened to me. I ended up in CR by chance. In June, my best friend and I were looking to go surf and get some sun. We originally picked San Diego but then decided that we wanted to go abroad, so we chose CR. Like GR, I did an internet search for a few weeks and came across CRT... and I am now known as Citrus Bitch.

Interesting how everyone just coincidentally stumbled upon Costa Rica in such different ways...

What's crazy was that me and my friends' original plan for this time last year was to go visit Amsterdam for an encore performance we had experienced just six months before at said place... but due to the exhorbant amount of money we all wasted while over there, we just happened to ask around to see if there were other venues to have just as much fun at much less of a price, and the rest is history...

It's funny, CR turned out not only to be MUCH less expensive and much cheaper/shorter flight, but also the mood of both the people and the working girls was exponentially more friendly, passionate and fun. Needless to say, I don't intend on ever visiting Amsterdam again...

Guys, thanks for all the comments. In addition to the names given by GetRhythm (I give a big DITTO to all names mentioned), there's so many more guys I owe a debt of gratitude to... Let's see.. True Sportsman, Blue Coyote, JaggedEdge (Where are you, man) LatinoHeat69, PacoLoco, Elmoreno, WITLING (my ATL mentor), JohnnyBlack (though we never actually met in person, our emails back and fourth are truly cherished), Texas&Vegas(a true hero with a great past), Zippy (another interesting fella whom I've kept in touch with over time), MONEY, ORANGE (thanks for your help, we'll do twice as good in SB weekend), Grey Ghost, Miami X, Alanchar, Seahad, Mikey-B, DarkLighter, SammyBoy, Hazel, BobDenver, Senordos, Geo, Kenj8, DonCarlos LVSteve, Wizard and all the guys who participated in a Sexy Bitches event and earned themselves a Sexy-Bitch-Alter-Ego-name...

And a repeat thanks to Gman and Tman... you guys ROCK (though you seriously fall short at pool and poker, Tman... )

And yes.... even NEWMAN made this year quite interesting at times. I give him a DOUBLE thanks! HA!

Thanks to all, and I know there's tons more, but it's only 8 in the morning, so sue me. Trust me, just because I didn't mention you doesn't me I don't appreciate ya!!

GR, great post and great memories... shame on me for not mentioning the stealth Eden missions...

I hope to see as many of you as possible in CR for New Year's.

Pura Vida, Bitches!!
