First off, great forum and lots of useful info. I am excited for my first trip to CR. I have a few questions:
1) I land Sunday evening (7:30pm). Will there be any girls at the bar on Sunday evening , or am I better off calling it a night and resting up for Monday?
By the time you get thru immigtation etc., getting to the gulch, checking in, unpacking, it'll be 9:30 or so-on a Sunday night, head directly to the DR & get laid. Don't wait for monday, there will be willing girls available!2) As a single traveler and first timer, which would you recommend DR or SL? The DR is appealing due to shear convenience of the bars and nightclub while the SL seems to have a sense of camaraderie (sort of like a frat) and the rooms appear to be much nicer
Def the SL, nicer rooms, breakfast, no chica fee, guys around to help ya, more laid back environment.
3) Are American products readily available in San Jose? I use Aveeno lotion and cannot bring enough in the 3oz TSA approved for an entire week. I would prefer not to check my bag and buy locally
Yes. I shop @ MasxMenos & find many food items & toiletries of U.S. origin. Theer's also a Wal-mart in town.4) If you had a week to spend on hobbying and sightseeing, would you go to San Jose twice in a week (e.g. Sun-Tue and then Fri-Sun) or would you mix it up with Jaco (e.g. San Jose Sun-Tue and Jaco Fri-Sun)
If you're in San Jose only Sun-Tues you'll see the worst of the mongering.. Like most places Sun-Tues = quiet. Wed-Sat. = party!Thanks in advance
