  1. What ever happened to the guy that moved to Costa Rica???????

    Wow. Ok, private message me your travel dates/times. My company and my office are directly behind Adobe, a 15-second walk. Your itinerary is excellent, you'll have a great time. When you wrap up in the mountains and head to Hermosa, I'll give you my number and we can meet for a Chiliguaro at...

  2. What ever happened to the guy that moved to Costa Rica???????

    nope. Next step is Costa Rican citizenship. Doesn't hurt to have 2 passports.

  3. What ever happened to the guy that moved to Costa Rica???????

    July usually isn't too bad a month here, it's when CR gets a break from the rain for a few weeks. It's our Indian Summer (We're such racists here). Renting a car is the same as any other place, use the recognized agencies and you'll be fine. We have Adobe Rentacar right in front of my...

  4. What ever happened to the guy that moved to Costa Rica???????

    Let me elaborate on my previous comments. We moved here last summer, had some down time while we waited for my stuff to go through the shipping process. I loved those weeks, everyday was like a vacation. Once it hit the ground, we went into "gas pedal to the floor" mode in getting our...

  5. What ever happened to the guy that moved to Costa Rica???????

    Had to learn some things here, like I've always known Costa Ricans to be laid back, but the truth is they're just lazy and do everything half ass. Getting anyone to do something and do it right is a total pipedream. Drivers are exceptionally stupid, passing around a curve and over a hill with...

  6. What ever happened to the guy that moved to Costa Rica???????

    Here I am guys. Still in CR, opened a business and killing it. We moved to Pablo Escobar's old house up away from the beach (we joke that it was his house because it just fits the bill), but soon we will be moving back to the beach area again. I haven't been back in the US but may plan a trip...

  7. Fight much?

    I fought anything that looked at me sideways in my teens and 20s. Memorable fights include punching the assistant principal of my high school in the nose (and consequently getting thrown out), ice hockey fights (they were the best!) and my last fight...me against 3, and I picked the "leader" up...

    Have y’all been to Five Guys Inflation and Fries

    Yes you can, with the proper residency status. Currently, they let you own up to 3. No hunting rifles or any AR/AK platforms though. There is no hunting here in CR, they are nature/animal lovers big-time.

    Have y’all been to Five Guys Inflation and Fries

    Are you here in CR, or in the US? I've been coming here for 20+ years and live here in CR full time now. I'm telling you first hand, not some internet statistic. I track every penny that comes in and out of my household on a spreadsheet, been doing so for 15 years. I can look back and tell...

    Have y’all been to Five Guys Inflation and Fries

    You guys realize that all this inflation is largely centered in the US, the inflation elsewhere is moderate, even normal. Here in Costa Rica, I can still get a get a gourmet cheeseburger with fries and a drink for $7-10US. Our groceries here are half what they were in the US. I'm so glad I'm...

    My latest tattooooooo

    It was a gift for my 54th birthday. The three rounds....let's just say they have a "special purpose".

    My latest tattooooooo

    Got this little guy about a month ago down here in Costa Rica. Awesome work and cost only $300. Me thinks at those prices, I have some more real estate to fill in....

    Glad I am Alive… After a TOTAL accident with my working van today!

    I second the comment of going to the hospital, or at least a doctor (even though I very much abhor doctors in the US). I wrecked my van 3 years ago, and refused care at the scene only to discover later that I had a broken kneecap. Because I waited and returned to work right away, I jacked...

    This morning's beach

    Let's put it this way: We live about 400 meters from the beach, one of the nicest beach towns in Guanacaste. Next month, we're going to move further inland, because the tourists are noisy and inconsiderate, and we're approaching high season and it's only going to get worse. We found a house...

    This morning's beach

    I hear ya, I lived in St. John USVI back in the 90s. It got old quick because if I wanted to leave the island, the only place to go (for the day) was another island, just like the one I was on. I didn't last long there before getting cabin fever.

    This morning's beach

    Depends on when and where. If you come during high season (Nov-March), and want beach living, you're going to pay pay pay. Whatever you do, I advise NOT to go to the popular gringo-tourist landing spots like Jaco, Quepos, Tamarindo, Playa Del Coco. Seek out a quiet beach town, then get out...

    This morning's beach

    Nope. So far, we haven't seen temps get above 90. The humidity in Georgia is WAY worse than here. Not that it doesn't happen here, but I haven't even noticed humidity yet. And as for the sand in your crack, bring a beach chair if you must. Only tourists sit on the sand.

    This morning's beach

    I've been blue-water fishing in many places on this globe, and the months of Nov-March here are hands down the best fishing I've ever done.

    This morning's beach

    No need for that. I have the deep-seated emotional resentment of why/how I ever stayed so long in ATL, burned into me. The ONLY reason I'll go back is to see my daughter, and I'll buy her a plane ticket here before that happens.
