Just get on your way out of the airport when you arrive, it only takes a minute and you wont have to think about the rst of your trip.

Check out how much tax is added to your ticket in the US :twisted: and then decide who is ripping you off. :lol:

The sad factor is the Costa Rican have not learned to add it into the ticket price. The US has so you blame the airline not Uncle Sam for the rip off :cry:

There you go bashing the good ol' USA again ID and standing up for CR, if I didn't know better I'd think you lived there or something. By the way who won the boxing match last night between you and your oxymoronic friend DarkLighter? :lol:

WHAT!? I guess that girly-man (oxymoronic pun intended) got scared off at the last minute ID, he sure was talking tough. :lol: JUST KIDDING, I was fortunate enough to meet and hang out with him some last week and he's a great guy. Wish I had his job. :wink:

Why not just pay it at the airport?

I've never had to wait more than 5 min for it...

beats the shit out of going around looking for a place to do it, when it's prime mongering time.
