I have been calculating how much money (excluding air and hotel) I would need to enjoy my 8 days in SJ.

I have narrowed down about 4 day trips that I would like to accomplish. ATV ($70 1/2 day) , Zipline tour ($65) , Arenal ($99) or Poas ($36) volcano, and white-water rafting (revantazon $75).

I am not sure what 8 days of 3 meals a day will cost me there. I don't drink so there won't be a liquor tab. Mongering once (mp's) to twice (mp & dr) a day alternating days would have tres action. I'm still trying to price this out. Any help from fellow members with better math skills would be appreciated.

Also what did you guys spend on ur last trip and how many days?

A lot of hotels have free breakfast. You should be able to pick up lunch for $5 and dinner for $10 or less if you are careful - depending on your expectations.

Don't forget the $26 you'll pay at the airport for exit tax. Expect $40 total for cab fare from and back to the airport.

All else goes to the chicas. Figure less than $60 per session at the high end at MPs and maybe $100 high end for HDR chicas.

Most of your money (after air and hotel) will be spent on the girls.

150-200/day for me covers food, pu*sy, drinks, pu*sy, day tour, pu*sy and souveniers. Then some more pu*sy before I head to the airport. I think this budget would cover your 8 days just fine.

My budget for my upcoming trip:

Hotel, including taxes and tips: $1500.00
Taxis = $140.00
Exit Tax = $26.00
Food = $260.00
Drink = $200.00
Hosting one Happy Hour = $100.00 limit I'm cheap.

Shit... I'm not going to be able to afford getting liad.

I'm budgeting around $3000.00 for the entire 13-night trip.

Wow - EC, that's a great budget trip.

I spent 10 nights in CR last year - was lucky enough that have gotten $5k cash off the books from a customer, so I paid everything in cash.

I dropped about $3.5k on that trip and had a helluva good time.

Well, thanks to F.F. miles, my airfare is only going to cost $30.72 in taxes. That saves me around $650.00 at current airfares from MSP.

I also probably overstated the hotel costs. I have two nights in the Main Suite at the Castillo, which I won at last year's CRT Anniversary Party, then 11 nights in the new wing at the SL. The SL stay will be the largest single expense of the trip at an estimated $1156.00 including taxes and taking into account the V.I.P. discount.

I have also not budgeted for strip club outings, having a pair of boots made, or...sex. I'm obviously, going to try to keep chica and party expenses under control, but we know how *that* goes. Tough not to spend like a drunken sailor.

Seven guys at the DelRey for 6 days. Rooms on 6th floor,food at the Delmar.
And that would be ordering anything you want and two-three bottles of wine each dinner and our daily bar tab= $14,400.00 this includes the chica room charges not the chicas.

I figure on about two hundred bucks a day for food and women. I go to a lot of MP's and rarely do an independent. I do about 4 per day or so. That does not include hotel. I dont drink much at all or gamble and that really keeps costs down.

After hotel and airfare,i budget 300-400/day.

Exactly about what i spend . You will have a good time in Costa Rica whatever your budget may be.

Dr. Form is so right.

But since you asked, HToad, my expenditues last trip (2 nights, Saturday-Monday):

Flight on AA: $218
Clarion: $215 (includes breakfast)
Taxis: $43 (including to/from airport)
Super Bowl Party: $40
Other dining: $34 (including Papa Johns before flight left at SJO)
Other drinking: $160 (includes some drinks for girl at Le Grillon)
Sessioning: $400
Gambling: $500
"Incidentals" : $35
Parking at FLL: $63

If I didn't drink to excess the sessioning would have been reduced by $142 and the gambling would have likely been a + not expediture (thanks to Giants and some strong play in blackjack when coherent ). And I never made it to any restaurants in the gulch other than Poas bar and the bar at the SL.

Htoad, enjoy.

If I read this right this is your first trip.

Don't make any plans at all before you go because Once you see what CR has to offer you will take every day at a time.

As for money?????

It's better to bring more than you think you need.

First class flight.
Suite.
For 7 nights.
Girls
All meals
Bar tab.

HToad, good job finding the day trips. Plenty of photo-ops for you, to share with your SO. Should be fun too. And plenty of time for you to shag all you want in your free time.

Take whatever amount you budget and add 50% to it. That's what usually ends up happening.

Best advice on this thread yet!
