Hey guys,

I'm just 6 short days from SJO and wanted a quick poll to see what most guys bring with them to spend. Keep in mind that this does not include airfare, however, include hotel, food/drink, gambling and of course women :shock: .

This is based on a San Jose trip only, I realize that alot of guys do canopy,fishing etc but lets stick to strictly SJO activities.

Thanks for the input!

Mikey B,

Heh, yeah, I'm planning on bringing about 2 grand with me :shock: My last trip was only 4 days long, and I pretty much know what I plan to spend. I like the Mps alot so my money goes a long way in general. I was just curious though.

Can't wait to get there and get that first pop outta the way at the dungeon! Almost as cheap as whacking off :D

Think the unknown there is gambling. High rollers on a streak might pay for the whole trip on winnings and then again they may lose more than the poll lists as possibilities.

I would say $200.00 a day not including gambling and figuring on 50% MP mongering and 25% strip club and 25% BM.

ID,

Thats about what I figured...$200-$225 a day. This trip I plan on hitting alot of places I didn't get to see last time. I'm gonna scope out alot of the places on the tico list ie: 70e,chacha, 747, bar camelot, jet set etc etc. Unfortunately last time I only got to ZB, Idem, Oasis a tico strip club that I can't think of the name of. Not that I'm saying these places were bad, they were great but I want to "broaden the horizon" a bit this time around.

Damn I want Tuesday to get here!

Maboman,
A little anxiety ?!??!? :lol: :lol: :lol:
It always seems like the last few days before a trip, the time seems to just crawl. Do You find yourself looking at the clock all day long ?!?!?! No worries. You'll be in paradise soon!
Have fun,
MG :wink:

I always estimate about $200 to $250 average per day. I'll have a few outliers like $200 TLN with a colombiana and a few cheaper days where I just an MP.

Yeah, I think with eating and drinking well, and enjoying the comapany of 2 - 3 ladies a day you could easily spend 2k plus.

I spend about $200 on drinks alone... most at the Del Rey. And no I'm not buying all the chicas drinks. :lol: I'm on a budget on my next trip and will have to cut my drinking down quite a bit. I have a beer gut from my six trips in six months. :lol:

I have seen my budget creep up as I have gotten older. I am wanting a better hotel, better food, better girls, etc. Today I will spend about $300 per day that I am in Costa Rica. If I have a "girlfriend/novio/favorita" the budget can go to hell in a hurry! Especially if her mom needs a heart transplant.
