1. Are all the quotes for prices up to date on orange's Noob post? Looks as though it went up in 2005 (mostly concerned about taxi to airport)
It went up in 2007, but I have tried to update it as needed. Taxi will be around $25. You may get one for $20, but it'll be a pirate/gypsy cab. I personally would take the official airport taxi for an extra few bucks. Two other options, take interbus or go upstairs where taxis drop off passengers and pick up one of them. Offering $15 will do the trick from drop off since they are going back to San Jose probably anyway. Negotiate a price before you get in. No tipping taxis.2. I've got a 1pm flight out on the sunday I'm leaving. When should I leave? If I wanted to fit in an MP visit when should I get there and when should I get a cab.
Sunday is a low traffic day, so I would leave around 10:15-10:30. With that said, HLH and NF open later on Sundays. Many MP's are closed on Sundays. Your best bet is to arrange an early morning date with a indy chica. Set up an 8am date, she'll be there by 9. 
3. If a super aggressive Tica I dont' want is all over me. I was just going to say I'm looking for something else. Do they get upset?
No they won't get upset, but they may still cling. Be more direct "I don't want your company". Or tell them you have no money "No tengo dinero". They will usually leave quickly. If all else fails, just turn around and walk away. They won't follow you.4. Is it better to have the girl come to you or you go up to the girl? I'm guessing if you go up to them you lose bargaining power?
Reversed. You should be picking them, not them picking you. The hardcore sharks usually are more aggressive and shy newer chicas tend to wait until you pick them. In the end, it won't affect bargaining power because bargaining power is all about level of desperation. In other words, who is willing to walk away? 5. Alright... now you guys are going to shit on me... that's fine. I'm not much of a drinker Can I just order a coke and look around until something comes around or do the bars expect you to drop some dough on alcohol.
You can drink whatever you want, as long as you buy it. Many guys don't drink alcohol at all. Some guys are too cheap or keep crying about high drink prices and don't drink in the bars at all.6. I'm on a tight schedule but want to fit as much humping in as I can. What's the latest I should go out and pull a tica in? In terms of quality of talent and safety (though I'm bent on taking a cab and staying at la amistad)
The chicas (don't use "Ticas"; a Tica means Costa Rican woman; chicas means "girls", i.e. working girls) are in Del Rey 24 hours a day, SL 8am-midnight. Pick up however many you can fit in. Just keep hydrated (with water or gatorade, not beer ) and don't overdo it in the first few days, so you don't get burned out. Top quality is 8-11pm. Pickings get slim after midnight at DR. At SL, it gets going in the evening until about 11, chicas start to leave (and may go to DR) if there are no buyers. Always take a taxi at night, even a few blocks. You can quickly walk Amistad to SL at night, but make sure there are no shady characters hanging around.
Try just reading body language to see if you think you are gonna have a good time. Don't make money the #1 criteria. Some are better actresses than others, but if you do this, you will have more winners than losers.
) There is a ton of great info; in fact this has been a very good thread as far as info being shared.
