    You realize Alamo Heights is a 4A district right? I don’t think you can compare them to AISD, HISD, and Frisco. Regardless, Alamo Heights is extremely affordable right now compared to Austin. If I lived in Austin right now and had school aged children I’d sell and move to that part of San Antonio. I’m somewhat tempted to sell my Port Aransas house for a huge profit and buy something in 78209 and something in Costa Rica and just split my time between the two.

    Yup. Port Aransas locals are fucked these days. There is no affordable housing left. I looked the other day when this thread started and there are THREE single family homes listed below 500,000. 2 are teardowns. Price per square foot is running 400+ for literal beach shacks and if the house was built after Hurricane Harvey it’s over 500. It’s insane. To make matters worse almost all the RV parks aren’t doing long term anymore and are kicking out people that have been there for years and years.

    Yup, my Southwest international flight last week the flight attendants didn’t give 2 fucks what anyone did with their masks. Really pleasant flight.

    I wouldn’t do the Caribbean side. Arenal is great and you can do the cloud forest near there on the same trip. Or do the northern Pacific beaches. Honestly the best trip is Corcovado National Park down south on the Osa peninsula. It’s like Jurassic park. But you really can’t go wrong anywhere here. You weren’t even in Manuel Antonio long enough to explore it and the surrounding area.

    Nicole is really good peeps. We met her for the first time at the surly tailgates last season. Any woman who can hang and put up with us at an event like that is ok in my book. She’s also fun to be around.

    I’ve seen the dogs but it’s always been leaving the country. One of my last trips going through security a 6 month old German Shepard jumped on to the luggage x-ray machine as my bag and others were coming out. They pulled me aside and searched my bag. Of course they didn’t find anything but I’m sure it smelled like weed because pretty much everyone I’m around down here smokes. I got a little worried when they took a picture of my passport but I haven’t had any issues since then.

    I’ve only been up there once and that was about 7 years ago. The resort was so nice and relaxing we basically just stayed on property the whole time but did go into La Fortuna one night for a great meal and drinks. yes bring some cash and it’s best to bring mostly 10’s 5’s and 1’s. I’ve never flown into Liberia. San Jose customs is a joke no stoplight system they just have you put your bag through an X-ray machine.I’ve been stopped exactly one time and that was because my buddy had a cooler full of ribs and brisket. Fuckers took most but not all of it I guess so they could have a nice dinner that night. @midtown I think has been there fairly recently and I know some others have too. Have a great trip.

    That wasn’t syntex. Pretty sure it was texlarry.

    I appreciate what he’s doing but it makes the thread almost unreadable when you are just trying to scan it for new news. I don’t think we need to see every post about a tank or whatever that’s another trophy.

    Not really fishing but this was pretty cool last night. There was a hatch in the marina. Not sure if the snook were protecting their babies or they were just full.

    This is so true. I have a really hard time sleeping the night before we fish if we haven’t fished recently. Heck, I have a hard time sleeping if we fished the previous day. I DO NOT like waking up early but if we are leaving the dock at 6 I’m up easily by 5 a.m. Trolling for billfish is sort of the same thing. You can be having a terrible day with no fish and at the end of the day your eyes are still glued to the teasers because hey, you might raise a huge marlin or 5 sailfish. I’m almost positive most of the people like me that love this sport are ADD. We live for that one rush/bite.

    That Russian embassy post sounds like something an aggy would say. No wonder I hate them.

    There are a couple of posters that have this condition. It’s sad and funny at the same time.

    @Pato del Muerto how was the food? We had really good stuff there all fall. Nice red.

    As a child we’re you dropped on your head daily or just weekly?

    Well, he shouldn’t have said it publicly. There’s a reason why the White House immediately walked it back and clarified his comments.

    @Napoleon We’ve tried that. Unfortunately we aren’t in a part of the country that has much of that and we are still in high season so they are all busy with projects that make them a lot more money - they are busy making canvas boat covers, boat rain curtains, and other upholstery work. We’ll find something/someone and make it work.

    At least we are still outperforming our football team in the rankings.

    I’m in Costa Rica right now and we’ve been trying to source any Ukrainian flag to fly on our boat. I think I found a guy that can bring me one in 2 weeks. Anyone coming down sooner?
  22. justhookit
    Where did y’all end up? There are definitely places you don’t want to take fish but most are good enough to excellent.
  23. justhookit
    It’s been a long, long time since I’ve taken fish anywhere at home. My first guess would be Fins. They do an outstanding garlic fish dish and I’m sure they could also do grilled/blackened. Or ask Josh. Glad y’all had a great day. We are taking yellowfin tuna we caught yesterday to a restaurant here in the Quepos marina. Can’t wait.

    I’ve also heard it requires overnight accommodations i.e. a cabin and head. Honestly though I think you are correct in your thinking about people just wanting to call their boat a yacht.

    Just going to leave this here. Marlin, sailfish, tuna today and would have caught more but my captain couldn’t stop looking at this Tica girl. Also caught a manta ray by accident and it took up well over an hour of our fishing time. We thought it was a big tuna or a foul hooked marlin. IMG_0356.MOV
