I arrive on the 11th of july without incident... plane ride great on US Air out of Fort Lauderdale. I am to meet my amigo Chicagolatino at the airport as our flights were arriving at the same time. We meet and hit the Duty Free for some libations and head off to Immigration.
WTF the line is out the door almost in the terminal. Well, the line moves pretty quick and we get a peek inside. I tell CGL to follow me and we cut straight across the lines to the far corner where they sell the exit stamps. We both purchase our exit stamps and merge in line on the far side line.
Ok we wait probably 25 minutes and we are getting processed....OK now pay attention. I take two copies of my passport out and ask if she will stamp the back with my entry stamp?...BaBing done deal and now I feel good!
Go downstairs collect our bags and thru customs.
...nada prob....we go outside there are people everywhere and way too many ecotourists. 
We look for CGL's friend who is picking us up but cannot find him. We wait awhile and then opt for a Taxi. We pay at the window and some guy wants to put us both with our luggage while it is raining in one of those small hyndai's. We tell him no and we want a van, he wants $6 more on top of the $12 we already paid. I tell CGL to Phuck it, get our money back and we will deal with someone else. CGL's friend shows up at that moment and we get a refund. 
I have never been asked for more money because I used a van. Has anyone else had this problem?
I may start to arrange my guys to pick me up and show up with a cooler of beer.
I might as well have a favorita along for the ride to start things right!
