The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard
The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.
We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.
We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

KD I hate to ask such a question but what did you trip cost and how did you book it?

^^^ We booked it all separately. I bought the flights back in November (?) from Frontier- they fly direct from Denver to San Jose. Then I did some research on TripAdvisor and various websites on where to go within Costa Rica and where to stay... we ended up staying at the Korrigan Lodge, a small B&B in Punta Uva which is near Puerto Viejo. The only activity we "pre-booked" was white water rafting on our last full day; everything else was booked a day or two before through the bed and breakfast owners.
I'm not sure exactly how much everything cost- probably around $1200 for the flights and B&B. Then I figure another grand or so for meals, activities, etc while we were down there. Meals are pretty cheap- most dinners were around $40 (including a couple of drinks), and I think we spent $80 once. I'd guess we spent somewhere around $2300-2500 total.
Oh, and $10 for the stuffed animal I bought for my niece.

Have you driven around the metro lately?

When I was in Honduras the roads have no guard rails on the "high" passes, nor are there lines in the road in most places. I think anyone can drive too. That was... interesting.
