Scuba I am laughing my ass off from your posts

they are well written

Thank you for your input and sharing your experiences.
I admit I know little about Costa Rica to get maximum fun from our trip. Our goal is to see the country and have an 'adventure' if you will. Would be great to have a company of chicas or tourists who don't mind little romance and travel

hence this forum and this thread.
I sort of guessed whole country is not a giant whorehouse

)))) although it sounds contemplating.
I have traveled to Cuba twice in the same manner. With group of friends. Celebrated NY in Havana, then took off to explore the country. We rented car and drove from Havana via Camaguey to Santa Lucia. What a blast we had over there!!!! Stayed in new town over night, went to local discos, rented casas, partied like animals

We did some scuba diving in Playa Santa Lucia (they say it's one of best places for diving) and partied in places with tourists mostly and locals. But man those cuban girls that we encountered!!!! If it was not for policia which they are scared to death of, those girls were ready to go anywhere with us and stayed in our hotel (if you can get her in - usually not a problem if hotel is not for 'westerners') travel, go fishing, etc BUT again they are very scared of policia and can go to prison for being with a 'foreigner'.
I believe something like this is possible in CR and wanted to find out if it is so.
Oh dear.

Please listen to the advice you've received so far.
We know how it's like when you're young, fun, and full of c
um; you KNOW there are ABSO-phucking-LUTELY no obstacles you CANNOT overcome with a dose of charm, good looks, six-pack abs and your blue-eyed, blonde-haired "gringoness". Even if you're fat, dark, squat, hairy and balding, it don't matter... your "gringoness" trumps all of those pesky little negative qualities and latinas will chase you like the Terminator after Sarah Connor as soon as they set eyes on you and your buddies... right?
There is no doubt in my mind you *might* get lucky and pick up 2, 6 or 9 chicas who are young, look like
Sofia Vergara circa 1999, love to party, are honest, fun, never complain or nag, love sex like a fly loves honey, wash your clothes, cook, clean and are just all-around delights to be around.
Then again, you have a better chance of being struck by lightning or of running into Fidel Castro during one of your jaunts to Varadero.
You
believe your 2 experiences in Cuba will translate to Costa Rica. Never mind that Cuba is full of desperate, poverty-stricken
jineteras who cream when they spot a foreigner in the hopes they will at least get a cellphone out of the encounter and maybe a gringo baby daddy + free ticket to the USA at best.
As Scuba1 said, Costa Rica ain't Cuba. Once you accept this, you're halfway to having a positive experience in CR.
By all means, go down and have fun. Visit Jaco. Go to Cocal and see if you can pick up some hookers to accompany you on your travels. Assuming you find some with whom you can communicate -- since you don't speak any Spanish -- you'll find all of them will say, "Sure papi...
cuanto me pagas?". All of them will swear undying love and lust for you, as long as you keep them well supplied with
colones.... and the boyfriend/husband/babysitter doesn't call in the middle of the night with an "emergency" involving the
bambinos.
If you strike out at Cocal, adjourn to Le Loft where you'll find a mix of working and regular chicas. Try your "game" there. Don't pay attention to these old CRT fuddy-duddies, they've forgotten what it's like to be the Master of your Universe, full of testosterone and Red Bull! You just KNOW women of all ages and nationalities will fight each other to receive your blessed sperm in their wombs... in fact, they'll pay YOU! Right?!?
All kidding aside, it's a tough proposition to have a good time with strangers you've never met before, have nothing in common with, and that have no interest in you aside from how much you can give them and how much fun they can have at your expense. And remember... unlike
las cubanitas, they've seen a gazillion gringos before, coming down with the same exact idea you have.
My advice to you is - go with the flow, don't try to overplan, and just ride the wave when it presents itself. If you don't find some girls who want to travel with you, so what? You'll find plenty of chicas in CR who will be glad of your company as long as you have some$$$thing to offer them.
Don't forget to come back and tell us how it went.
