Hello All,

Arriving 1/29 for first visit... going to explore some of the SJ delights (and get some needed dental work).

Town is very booked - I would pick Super Bowl weekend (duh)... so I am doing La Amistad on 1/29, SL for 1/30 to 2/1 - still looking at my options for 2/3-2/8.

Suggestions for good hotel (that may be available) and where to meet a friendly crowd from the board? I'm not real keen on wandering SJ solo. (I don't drink, so at least I can keep a semi-level head).

Thanks,
Longboat

The Sportsman's Lodge and The Dunn Inn will have CRT regulars. Not sure if the hotel is sold out for the days you are looking at but it would be a good alternative if it's not.

Hey LB,
I'm also solo & making my 1st trip; staying @ the Dunn 1/29-2/5, swing by when you get a chance. I booked a 'recon'/wingman/lesson with Pops, who comes ~highly~ recommended. Have you had a chance to read/take in the great newbie post from Orange?
Best,
2E

Thanks 2E,
Read the Newbie posts - and printed them. I'll check in with you by Private Mail. Dunn was top of my list but booked solid so far - maybe someone will cancel 2/2-8 and make my day. I'll at least catch some of the festivities - and maybe play some poker.

I will be staying at the Dunn Inn 27th through the 4th. I would be glad to show you around.

If you want a formal tour contact Pops. He will be your wingman for one or two days and give you a lot of insight on all the venues.

There is a get together for newbies at the Dunn Inn on Friday afternoons. You can meet some more experienced guys and wingmen.

Change in plans.
Accident in the family. All will be ok - but no travel this week.
I'll try to reschedule in a few weeks. Thanks for earlier tips... I'll repost when set.

Do not come, it's not worth coming to Costa Rica.
