I'm going to CR. on 10/20/05 thru 10/25/05........this is my second trip to San Jose.........I have read MANY threads about alot of things and I THINK I know some of the basics. so I'm not a REAL newbi.........but not that experaninced.

However I have TWO basic questions

1. Where is the best place to change $USD....into CRC..........I've heard at the airport.....I've heard at the casino.

2. If some of the CR real mongers can give a printable list of some of the local places to find some of the chicas it would be helpful.

My spanish is limited, but passable, enough to get my point accross.

I will be staying at the Prez this time, ......so if anybody will be there at the same time.....I would like to meet up with you.
Stayed at the Doral the last time it was nice and clean, nice rooms (cheep too)..but to far away from all the action.
Anybody ......PLEASE help

1. Casino's are always a good choice. The ATM at the HDR I hear is real good for exchange rates. The hotels don't do very bad either. Hotel Presidente gave me a good exchange rate.

Welcome to the brotherhood.

Your map and printable list can be found in this thread:

Exchange your cash? I think most everyone now uses the abundant ATMs:

The President Hotel exchanged at a rate of 483/$1.00. I don't think it get much better than that. The casino at Del Rey was offering 473/$1.00.

You should check the Roll Call section, many are going to be there during your time period. You might even want to join in the poker game.

Dark, you took the words right out of my mouth.

Tbird, if you would like, you might want to sign up for the CRT Sexy Bitches Poker Touney, which is on the first night you arrive (this Thursday)... It would be a GREAT chance for you to meet some fellow members, make some friends, maybe make some money, and give you a stage for asking any and all questions to the other umpteen members already signed up to play.

Check in out in the roll calls section if you are interested.

Ruff,
Yeah, I'm sure the first thing he wants to do when he hits San Jose is play poker.

Tbird,
Two suggestions:
1. When you read something important on CRT, MAKE NOTES.
2. You can reply to each person in one post.

Wit,

You may be right, my friend... but I'll say this, even with all my efforts, I didn't meet a single CRT member until my third trip, and upon meeting them I realized how much I missed out by not having them around my first two trips.

Yeah, I can assume he may have better things to do, but it may very well be an investment to meet the goodfellas, maybe find a wingman, and get tons and tons of pointers from all of us... plus we get to take his 20k colones for us!!

Whatever, just being helpful... you always were my voice of reason, though.
