I can't see where it would be any problem in your checked bag just be aware that some airlines have 50 lb limit now.rbc100

Last trip, I brought a bottle of Top Shelf Vodka down you cant find in CR, packed it WELL, wrapped in a towel and a couple of shirts (was worried about breakage (you know baggage handlers)...Being plastic, as long as it is well wrapped you should not have any problems.

Gatorade is readily available in SJ.

you can get gatorade at hyper mas or pricesmart

I highly doubt you can get Gatorade rain considering it is only registered for the US

If I was able to bring 2 quart mason jars of homemade maple syrup....you can bring your Gatorade.

CR is not so backwards as one might think as far as products available,

most consumer stuff is there , you may have to pay a little or a lot more for the same item though.

I ended up at the mega mall in Escazu one night,
anything you could ask for in a Canadian or US upper crust mall.

The prices were up there, my Tica reminded me that Escazu and the mall
was basically for gringos pero all I could see was mostly ticos/ticas jam packed there spending their few colonies on
made in china / US marketed over priced stuff.

Anyhow yes any Automercado or AM/PM will carry Gatorade.

Every store and some bars carry the stuff. If you gotta take it I would double bag it in a leak proof plastic bag. The rough handling and pressure could make it leak.

On my last trip I traveled with 2 btls of Makers Mark and 4 btls of Frank Family Cab. Bubble wrap and a towel around each in a separate bag, all arrived safely. Just ask airline attendant to tag it Fragile.

Yes, I have turned into a frugal traveler when it comes alcohol consumption in CR Allows for at least two extra sessions.

RBC, can I get a seal of approval on the aforementioned practice?
