  1. Sounds great. I’ll bet y’all already want to go back. BTW, y’all got really lucky getting out of Manuel Antonio when you did. I’ve gotten a bunch of videos from friends there from yesterday and it is flooding bad. The town of Quepos has about a foot or more of water and it’s coming in all the shops and restaurants.
  2. https://www.havenforhope.org/about/founder/ Just down the road from Austin in San Antonio. They are doing a hell of a lot better job than pretty much every major city in the world.
  3. Yup. In my immediate family, 4 out of 6 of us have all had it in the last 3 weeks. 3 different cities and 3 different exposures - one convention, one bar, one car ride. All very mild cases except one. The 3 of us with mild cases wouldn’t have even tested if we didn’t know we had been exposed. All of us are boosted with no known prior Covid infection.
  4. Nice. The Tabacon resort is great. Amazing rooms, your wife did well choosing. I stayed there 2 or 3 nights and never left the property. Hopefully it’s clear enough that you can see the Arenal volcano. It’s still dormant, correct? When the lava was flowing it made for some amazing nighttime scenery.
  5. I mean you had to know the last game of the weekend would be nuts. The whole thing has been nuts.
  6. hahaha Tree. Wow. What a weekend/Monday.
  7. Great, now the football team is definitely going to suck next year /BurntOrange&White
  8. Holy fuck!!!!!!
  9. if you told me a few months ago that I’d watch over 20 hours of college baseball and softball June 5th and 6th and be highly entertained I would have thought you were crazy. What a great few days it’s been. Come on ladies.
  10. Hell yeah ladies
  11. Haha. See ya at the Bama game kiddo.
  12. Looks shopped.
  13. You know you’ve been on Surly too long when you scan this post and your first thought is oh shit we’ve got a cop killer here.
  14. Sounds like the rules are different there than Texas but no you’re probably not going to be able to bribe a captain. That’s some serious shit if they get caught. How big is the boat?
  15. Yeah I’ve been watching more too. Put them on the big screen and it’s even better.
  16. I’ve never heard anything good about the fishing in Nassau. There might be bluefin around still but I doubt it. Season is over though so if you did catch one you’d have a really, really long fight and then have to let it go. Good luck on the yellowfins.
  17. You are probably going to Arenal volcano as it’s the most popular and has the most accommodations. It’s a long drive. It almost never rains all day so hopefully you aren’t unlucky and get out this afternoon. The marina is worth a visit even if you aren’t able to get on the sailboat. Have drinks and watch the sunset at Cuba Libre, good food there too.
  18. Fuck yeah girls just went yard for 3 runs. Now up 4-2 bottom of 4th
  19. And we gave them an out Dude basically gave up 5 runs on 1/3 an inning.
  20. I’ve got a bunch of options. I’ll send you a message tomorrow. Need to charge up my Tico phone. And sleep. Damn positive Covid test isn’t letting me go back to sleep very easily. Really depends on where y’all are going for how much to take. If it’s remote you obviously need more. No need to exchange going in they will take dollars just fine. Once you are there it’s best to use colones. Find a recommended ATM and get local cash. Pretty much everywhere will take credit cards and it’s always best to use them. Again it would be way easier to answer all that if I knew if you were going to Manuel Antonio or the Corcovado national park or somewhere else. It’s not like here, your location is going to determine your ease of access to things like banks or ATM’s and it’s going to vary widely.
  21. Not really but I see where you are coming from now. My immediate family has done probably 40 flights in the last 6 months with nobody getting it. Until my dad got it about 3 weeks ago and he hadn’t been on a plane in over a month. He did got to a conference 5 days before he popped positive. And wait for it, see below I just popped positive for the first time. Vaxxed and one booster.The timing of it makes me think maybe it wasn’t from him, but who knows? At any rate I can look back and think maybe I was feeling off 4 days ago. I had a slight headache then that went away and what I can best describe as a tickley throat only it was on the roof of my mouth. So pretty much my normal allergies. That all went away but then tonight I woke up at 1 in the morning when the coyotes went nuts. Noticed my headache was back and I was wide awake and had the free tests, so why not? Never would have tested if my Dad hadn’t been here. It took like 45 seconds to show positive so I used a binax test that also was positive. I feel fine. No fever no cough. A slight headache and still that scratchy throat thing on the roof of my mouth. Thankfully that’s it for now and hope it stays that way. Happy I got the shots and the booster.
  22. Not following your detective work here.
  23. Ha. Guess I should have looked upthread for where you are going. Yeah a car up there is probably good to have.
  24. I’m no help on this either. The parking/traffic situation is so bad there I really say it is easier to not rent a car, unless you are planning on doing a bunch of traveling. I feel like a broken record but I have a car in CR but I hardly ever use it. When I was there for 3 months this winter I probably drove 3 or 4 times. Long trips hire a private driver, bus, or shared shuttle. For around town find a few good taxi drivers and call them directly when you want a ride. Or the buses are easy. Now if you are doing say San Jose to Monteverde to Arenal to Tamarindo or Manuel Antonio and want to explore then yeah rent a car.
  25. Your guess would be as good as mine. Pretty much all the charter boats that are worth a shit are in Los Suenos and Quepos. Rhino Charger and WetAss 2 used to be considered the best up in that area but that’s been years and I have no idea how they are now.
