Hola Gents,

I'm planning on returning after 10 years after numerous trips back in the hey day.

I am stressing about the insurance requirement and especially getting a test for the way back, which I do not want any part of.

Has anyone traveled since the testing mandate coming back to the USA? If so, what was your experience? Are there doctors willing to write one without doing it and still charge a bit?

Also, what is the cheapest insurance?

I'm thinking about staying at the SL; I used to stay at the Sudamer but I heard they totally redid the neighborhood in to a China town. Used to be called the barrio Soledad I think.

Hopefully there's a lot of cool dudes to show me where the MPs are at now. Was it 6th av or Calle with all the secret hole in the wall one's were located?

Thanks,

Freedomcat

You want to travel to CR and return to the US and not be tested, instead bribe someone to give you fake test results.

You may want to consider your chances of catching Covid in a detention facility in Costa Rica. And personally I hope that's where you will end up.

FreedomCat My experience in CR during Covid was they take it way more serious than here in the States with that said I seriously doubt you will find a Dr. that is gonna write you a fake test result to come back to USA :? and SL and Castillo are your best options for lodging, Chica's are hanging out at both places looking for company. Trawick is what I used for Ins. which the Policy is backed by Nationwide Insurance.

You are a POS. It is group think media herded sheep like you responsible for the way things are. Go read some George Orwell and go live in Canada.

To me it is the same as driving through red lights. As a society we agree to not do that. You have the right to drive through a red light. You may, and will, eventually be hurt, and will hurt others. Nothing to do with being sheep, with "1984", or with any conspiracy to take away your rights. It is about being considerate to other human beings and to yourself.

You want to get on a plane, with a potentially fatal disease, and possibly infect others, when there is an easy and readily available way to reduce that risk to almost nothing. This is not about politics or anything, it is about a real virus (and I know lots of people that have had it) and you want to use a fake test to get back on a plane because you are a some sort of delicate person who cannot endure a moment of discomfort to take a test.

No wonder the US is the worst country on earth with with respect to this virus.

In partial defense of not wanting to be tested, I feel less than 100% confident in the reliability of the test and the possible agenda of shaking down tourists. That said I was tested this week, negative, and flew yesterday. I would worry more about the restrictions that states are imposing on people returning from overseas flights. Every new impediment that the governments imposes on people discourage more people not to travel. Between Costa Rica's insurance requirements and the U.S. negative test requirements tourism is at a standstill. It is the tourist high season here. The businesses are continuing to take a beating. Covid is a real virus but the government response has little to no effect on controlling it's spread and only promotes the destruction of the economies. Understand people in high places are making money on this at the expense of the middle and poor classes. Money borrowed today will have to be repaid tomorrow.
That said there are plenty of beautiful women waiting in San Jose. The weather is beautiful. It is not perfect but a lot better than the States at the moment.

Quick and to the point, you are a Canadian, a country that still is a commonwealth to Britain and bows down to a queen. With all due respect, you lived in a Socialist now soft Communist country and will never understand what it means to be an American from the USA context. Your starting off point for overall IQ is unfortunately at a much lower floor due to the fact that your formative years were most likely spent in Canada. Your rant unfortunately is standard BS following the narrative given by the powers that be. Chastise and ridicule me when I come in peace and have another view? Fact check these numbers: less overall deaths in the USA in 2020 than the year before DESPITE a "pandemic", has a 99.7% survival rate, the airlines' own IATA states there's a higher risk of being struck by lightening than catching covid flying! You can't make this BS up! You have a higher likelihood to die in a car accident than even catching covid on any given day. Also, along with deaths trending down, check out what deadly illnesses have dramatically decreased or disappeared at the same time. Where did the flu go? Covid cured the flu? Check out the other diseases. Bring up any chart, it's eye-opening. The Pultzer Prize winner Kary Mullis created the PCR test and said himself it wasn't meant to diagnose viruses (and can be easily rigged). You actually learn A LOT researching the history and economic gains and losses from this "pandemic", even if you believe in it totally (but then something clicks eventually). At any rate, I won't be wishing any kind of Orwellian camp on anyone on this forum. There is a wealth of information out there that reveals why one might think differently about these sort of things. It's not profitable to dwell and mention such ideas for some! BTW, I like most Canadians, just not the stupid kind that wish evil on people for just asking a question and having a different point of view on an escort forum. Sounds very Socialist/Communist to me.

Stay free,

F'Cat

PS- Thanks for all the input everyone!. Pops, we met a couple times, but props for at least having a more open mind.

As long as you purchase insurance, fill out the health form and get tested before you return. Don't foreget to mask up. :wink:
Submit and you are free, you are F'kitty :lol:

P.S. Bring Whiskas.

OK, I bite. I shouldn't but ...

Canada bowing to the queen...lol. You obviously know nothing about Canada. Socialist communist country, again, a stupid comment. Chastise and ridicule you. Yep, I did. A little.

99.7 % survival rate. Nope, not on average. World data is between 1 and 2 % fatal. 99.7 may have been a Trump number but not a real number.

Safety while flying...I agree it is pretty safe if people are tested before they get on, wear masks, etc.

PCR test...works. No test is 100%, but the PCR is the best out there.

Deaths from Covid - worldwide they have been understated.

Flu - hilarious. Flu is a virus. The measures taken to stop Covid also stop spread of the flu. There has been almost no flu spread this year...why would that be a surprise in countries that have measures to prevent the spread of Covid?

Wishing evil on you. Okay, I should not have done that. My apology.

The information sources you follow... I don't know exactly what you follow, but I can well imagine. There are thousands of people out there making shit up, for various reasons. And one of the favorites is making things up that people like to hear. It's a vortex of misinformation...you buy into your various conspiracies, imagined enemies, etc. etc. Your use of the terms communist, socialist...all show that. It's "us against them". It's what Hitler did to stir up people against the Jews. It works, obviously. Anyway

For what it's worth...I don't lean socialist, I certainly am not a communist, I'm conservative in most respects, a bit more liberal on social issues. I have a science background and do actually have a bit of knowledge and understanding of viruses, of genetics, etc. There are thousands and thousands of health care workers and many others who know of the deaths, of the effects of Covid. It is ludicrous to suggest they are all in on some kind of conspiracy to cover up deaths, attribute deaths wrongly, etc. I can check with friends who work in hospitals, emergency services, etc. If they are all being told to change the real story to something else...well, that is ridiculous. Millions of people worldwide are "in the know". Pretty hard to hold a false narrative together with that many people having to lie.

As to gains and losses and the economy. Yes, it has been devastating. I think the right course of action could have been more like New Zealand or Australia. New Zealand is currently Covid free, and their economy can carry on normally, although minus tourism etc. as they are not letting people in. But whatever, not everyone can lock down like that, I agree. But whatever the case it is a tradeoff between deaths and what you are willing to spend to avoid or prevent them.

And the numbers you quote for deaths. As a matter of fact I have looked them up, for the US. Deaths have been dropping over the last many years in the US, as people are living a bit longer, and that effect is greater than the effect of increasing population. And that has reversed this year. The quoted stats that contradicted this that were being circulated on your sources was in error as it did not include all December deaths. Anyway, the "excess" deaths after taking all of this into consideration is in the same ballpark as the number of Covid deaths. USA stats support the number of Covid deaths.

Have a good day. And get tested before you get on the plane.. The people in the seats close to you would appreciate it.

I do not want to waste much more of my time. I am accurate about Canada and it's Socialist history along with it's colonial ties with Britain. You do not understand the ramifications and reality about being a commonwealth of the British crown and like most people, completely ignorant in this area. My sources are not only solid, but much of it is common sense. I've read your other posts concerning the Scamdemic, and you are merely a bleating sheep like so many others. I often use Canada and Sweden as examples to my students as how socialism in its many forms work in smaller populations with the majority of the populations sharing similar ethnocentric commonalities. As history has taught us, it never succeeds. As far as information goes, I used solid data from government sources and good old research. As an educator, I must have a primary source for what I espouse. Your logic on deaths going down as a trend is flawed in conjunction with the Plandemic. It's following the same trend because there is no pandemic. References to Hitler are unfounded as this is a textbook Bolshevik-like takeover, if anything. Redistribution of wealth. Create the problem then gov't comes in and "saves" the day. More and more restrictions on personal freedoms because clowns like you fall for this. Masks are a joke. There have been so many studies for so long it shouldn't even be questioned. Also, look up Event 201.

Reading your drivel is like watching a particularly poor CNN piece, and that's terrible. As I said, I did not know there have been pointed discussions already in this forum and your IQ continually drops the more you type. I think the true facts are you are the type that believes whatever the mass media tells you and your a scared old man falling for it all. Not that I would care normally, but people are really getting brain damage from this crap. Covid 19 is part of the Corona virus family that cause the flu. The CDC even states it cannot be isolated. What is ironic is people like you are the problem. You wish death on people for having different beliefs. That's what started this little discourse. I actually pity you a little. Getting old, letting the media scare you, putting down my country when you can't even identify truths about yours. Be careful going out to drive today or maybe you should stay home for the rest of your life because there is a higher chance you will die driving than catch the covid. The people in the streets close to you would appreciate it.

Oh, and Zeos, please take the jab and get back with me on that in a couple months and let me know how your feeling. Stupid is stupid does.

Oh yeah, Boynton, be sure to give your buddy a reach around like you always do after I post.

Stay away from those co-morbidities fellas. LOL. Karma is a bitch, Zeos.

You wanna travel you follow the rules, simple as that
If your carry on is too big you check it, if you have too big of a tube of toothpaste, you put in checked bags or risk getting it thrown out at the check point. Wanna leave the country you better not have an expired passport. Overstay your visa, you will pay some type of price.
We may not like the rules, may feel that they don't make any sense, but the rules are the rules, don't comply and you aren't traveling
