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

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? |

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! |

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 |
