Sorry your thread got highjacked. I was just watching from the peanut gallery. As I might be the only person who knows all the people involved in person, I have to say Yatz, BD and PR would probably be fast friends had they met at SL over drinks...
As for your original post:

*meet Ticas or others (chicas)
Can do that in lots of places in San Jose. Best advice is get the map (electronic or printed) and start on day one finding your way around. Walking is safe during the day in MOST areas. Take a wing to Calle 6 or hook up with CRT member Esposodebarbie for a tour. If you get out to Jaco, Cocal is THE place with Le Loft, Orange Pub and Monkey Bar active later at night. Hotter girls but little selection from 4-11am or so. Best on Thur-Sat nights.

*Go pacific fishing on a boat
Easiest way is out of Jaco. Lots of options on when/how BUT it will be expensive.

*Visit the countryside - a farm, a forest - an adventure.
Without paying for a private driver like me, best option on that is to do a coffee plantation tour. If you make it to Jaco, there is ATV tours, zip lines and a neat crocodile boat tour that is excellent.

*EAT well with fresh food
There are a LOT of good places to eat and a lot will be fresh but most aren't in the Gulch. There are several excellent places discussed both in San Jose and Jaco in that section of CRT.

That won't be a problem

Do your research online and make appointments. Costa Rica tends to shut down during the time you are here. Government goes on a month-long vacation as do many Tico professionals. You won't find either of these in Jaco...only San Jose.
Hope that helps...if there is anything else I can do or questions I can answer, don't hesitate to let me know.
