:roll: Would someone like a nervous newbie for wingman for a few days.

Also could use a good ground crew to shoot bull over drinks with.

Newbie to CR but many trips to Asia.

Base camp is Hotel Castillo

#1 interest: checking out as many MP's as possible

#2 interest: to do a few day trips

River,
Castillo isa good place to stay and you did your homework by practically landing next door to Zona Blue and New Fantasy. I will be at the Castillo Oct 29 to Nov. 6 and having a beer would be a great way to get started. Send me a message closer to your arrival.

A drink sounds great! This site is awesome! Darren at the Castillo has been great to work with. Now I just need to learn how to buy coffee and get it home.


If it flies, floats or f**ks its cheaper to rent it!

Easier than buying pu*sy :lol: Walk over to the Mas x Menos (grocery store) pay cash and stuff as much as you can into your suitcase, or you can go over to the central market and get freshly roasted.

Highly recommend the Doka store in Mercado Central (Avenida Central & Calle Central). The top blend is $9.00 american per kilo (2.2 lbs)

To bring 5 to 10 Kilos of coffee back to the USA is it better to have the shop ship it or carry it back. With just over 90 minutes to change planes, I don't want to cause a delay at customs.

Brought back 5 kilos (11 lbs.) in my carry on my last trip on Taca through Guatemala and had no problems or questions, checked my bag saw what it was and sent me on my way. I have also in the past, packed 10 kilos in my checked bag without any issues.....BTW I had a 45 minute layover

I'll be there Oct 30th thru Nov 13th flying solo. I'm staying at the SL and I'm was looking to do a few day trips too. Let me know if you are interested.

I've done several trips in the past to include white water rafting, canopy tours, ATV tours, waterfall tours, volcano tours, ..... They never get old. Great country.
