I am going to Costa Rica with my wife from aug 27 to sep 4, 2008. We got reward airline tickets, so we have the flights, but we need everything else. What should we do? We need a good hotel, places and things to see, where to eat, etc...
I would not be against meeting any of you for dinner or drinks, my treat. I live in the USA, but my wife and I are Peruvian and obviously speak Spanish.
beaches (caribbean, or central pacific or south pacific) volcanoes (4-5 to visit, great for one day trips) rain forests (central pacific and caribbean) they opened a cool place to see frogs, snakes, etc on the caribbean side... it has cannopy tours as well, I`ve never been there, but i`ve heard its really nice are u looking for a beach hotel, or a city hotel?

LOL Seriously, if you want to see an awesome site, go to Volcán Arenal. There are lots of hotels with direct views to the crater, and on a clear night you can see lava coming down the slopes, it's awesome. And, you can go to the hot springs at Tabacon to get your drink on while soaking.
Sounds good. I wondered, should we stay in one hotel and do some day trips to various places or stay in different places? I don't know where to start, so where is the airport located and where should we go from there?
La Fortuna is the spot for this. Not far from the volcano is the stadium where their second division pro team plays. Too much lightning is the only problem.
We had an exchange student from Alajuela last year. We want to schedule our trip to Costa Rica next year around WC qualifying. I also have an exchange sister who lives in Jaco. I haven't seen her for about 40 years, but her sister (former sister-in-law) and mother came to my wedding 26 years ago.
We went to three different volcanoes, thermal baths, white water rafting, national theater and museums. Man, what a beautiful country Costa Rica is. I was also impressed with the food.
severe damages in Vara Blanca, Cartago no hay muertos ni heridos, solo cosas materiales 6.2, a 23 km de profundidad 4 replicas de 4 grados cada una
el sitio de Nacion esta demasiado lento. y no encuentro nada en Teletica. good to hear that there was limited injuries.
Si, nacion.com está parado de uñas... En aldia.co.cr dice que fué de 6.2 grados de magnitud...tamaño güevazo...
Que bueno. I´m in San Antonio Desamparados and watched the food and silverware on the table start jumping for no apparent reason. The epicenter was supposedly in Puntarenas, two hours from San Jose, se we received the shock waves. Phones were down for a bit. Hope everyone is alright.
Ojala q todos Uds. y sus familias estén bien --- Yo ya llame a todos por allá y la familia esta bien…. Que susto… ----dijeron q Alajuela y Heredia fueron los q sufrieron el terremoto….mis pensamientos y rezos están con Uds.
My Tico exchange student from last year found Yahoo Costa Rica Earthquake News He said: We had an earthquake yesterday and it was really scary. I thought my house was coming down. It was here in the city of Alajuela.
There was loss of life, and Alajuela(not Puntarenas) took the blunt of it. English Español Around 200 tourists were trapped in hotel Vara Blanca in Heredia, and 250 construction workers from a hydroelectric plant were evacuated out of Toro Amarillo, the part of Alajuela hardest hit. Several condominiums were evacuated in San Jose centro. The two girls who died, Marisela and Tatiana Olivas Diaz, 12 and 7, were selling cookies in the same small town in Alajuela. Th shock waves were felt all the way to Southern and central Nicaragua. The photos of the hardest hit areas are ugly, and I hope aid starts to come in soon.
