Hello Gentlemen. I have been looking to expand my mongering horizons and I am planning on a trip to San Jose. I want to put a rough idea of my itinerary and planned budget and see if I am in or out of line. I am not a VIP member yet but I will sign up soon, I just need to get this trip signed off on by the jerk offs above my pay grade.
Flight:
Departure on June 27 from Newark to SJO (nonstop)
Return on July 3 SJO to Newark (nonstop)
Should I stay through Fourth of July? I know it is not the USA but I figure with a lot of expats in the country it might be worth staying through.
No reason to - or not to - its our Independence Day, not theirs after all- unaware of big celebrationsLodging:
I am planning on staying at the Sportsmen's Lodge. I was originally thinking of staying at the Del Rey but many reviews on this site have made me change my mind about that. I am looking for advice on which type of room at the SL I should book. Prices seem to swing a bit wildly depending on the "wing" you are booking.
You made a wise choice, Grasshopper 
- Can't help you too much on the rooms there, but try a search; been there many times, have seen many rooms, but have never stayed there - I can tell you MY preference would be to totally avoid the rooms off the bar and entry; can be loud - anything else is likely OK - and much more quiet. June is green season; you need to join CRT as a paid member; you will also get a discount on room, meals, and drinks at Sportmans w/ the CRT VIP Card - Entertainment:
Outside of that I am thinking $300 a day for ticas and incidentals should see me through. Is this enough or too much? I will probably pick up a Del Rey girl or two during my trip but I will be looking at visiting the Gulch as well. Speaking of which, I have heard of the "Gringo Gulch" but none of the threads I have seen in the newbie section actually spell out where it is.
Its probably fine, although it would be too much for me (Pack fewer clothes and more money is good advice 
) - would be more than my budget, but its your first trip so you are going to <likely> pay more than when you have a few trips under your belt.
You hit on a "peeve" of mine - a tica is another word for Costa Rican female; that's all it means - not another word to denote or describe a prostitute - it s highly offensive to Costa Ricans (as well as guys in the know) so please don't use it in that way
Gringo Gulch is roughly the area within a few block radius of the Hotel Del Rey - which you should visit - bear in mind that the Sportsmans has girls there too, so "cast your bucket down where you are, so to speak" I will need to spend most of my arrival day doing some touristy BS because I need to have pictures to show family and co-workers of all the things I saw in San Jose. So I might go to the volcanoes or museums but outside of that I am looking to enjoy my time with as many girls as I can. Where do you recommend I go? I am looking not to leave the San Jose area.
I honestly don't know how practicle this is even if you arrive very early - and its not like the Volcano's, etc, are a 10 min ride away - you could take a tour - your hotel can help you - was called a "5 in 1" worth it and not super expensive - you can do the zip line out of San Jose - you can do an all day trip on the Paquare River and run the rapids - you could do a long day trip to Arenal, the most famouls of Costa Rica's volcanos - lots of options - just likely not on your first day - Thank you very much for all of your input.
A great way to get smart in a short amount of time is take a walking tour - you will see the high spots - and it will make you more knowledgeable than many - all of the mames may be available - and all can be reached vis PM on this site: Pops, Bilko, Puravidatransport, Oneluckydog, BangBang57 - Lets face it; you wannna Phuck, but have zero clue about the place - not the end of the world, and a tour will explan everything as would a really good wingman - but since this can be a hit or miss proposition, try the tour, as many, even those well meaning, tend not to know the full scene in San Jose, and there are great MP's you should be going to - have a great trip

Thanks to everyone for all the useful information.
I will make sure not to use the term tica in Costa Rica, I assumed it was common parlance on this board for chica. I will look into the 5-in-1 tour. I will probably do the walking tour then, I can bring my camera and take pictures of the city and archetechture. I assume I can get that at the hotel. I will be putting my time off request in at work on Monday and I hope to have it back and approved ASAP.
I am going to get my VIP card as soon as my job approves my time off. Then it will be sending reservation requests to the SL or HLH, I have gotten some messages from members saying HLH might be a better option for me. I am looking into it.
I was planning on hitting up an MP once I got all my gear locked up in the room and go off to play. Speaking of which, are New Fantasy, Relax or HLH near SL? I am still planning to stay at SL but I am weighing my options.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but you can certainly use the term "tica" - to mean a female Costa Rican
- just its not generic to mean whore, nor is it used as another word for chica. This site, which is excellent, contributes to the misuse of the word - and some guys, even those who should know better, mis use the term.
Re your other question,not yet answered, are New Fantasy, Relax or HLH near SL -NF and HLH are very close; Relax is about a 15 min walk; however right across the street is Idem, and right next door is Eros (so you have a lot to choose from in a short distance
- remember - if you like a girl but don't like the atmosphere of an MP, you can always get a name and a number and see if she will come to your room later - most will; just be "cool" when you ask) - while I don't like NF, its close and you many like the place - but there are many others, which is why I suggested you PM some members who have done tours.
