I guess you are already back.

Jaco is not the place to go.

Costa Rica had its hey day back in the early 90′s (and so I hear back in the late 80′s…I went there first in the early 90′s).

Find some low profile beaches.

Explore.

Or party it up in San Jose.

I haven’t been to Jaco, but I think you will have a blast.

Few years back I did a surf trip to Tamarindo which is nearby. One of the best vacations I ever had. From what I hear, Jaco is a little more grungy than Tamarindo, but the surf should be good. Don’t know what the crowd (or the surf) is like this time of year though. I believe Dec.-Jan is the busy time. I went in august.

All the food was super cheap, freshly caught, and awesome. I ate like a king. The variety of flora and fauna there is amazing. I would have these amazing looking cocteau type birds landing on my table at the tiki hut as I downed Coronas at 9 in the morning after surfing a set. You can’t beat that.

The locals are super friendly and will hook you up with WHATEVER you need (wink wink).

I didn’t partake of the zip-line tours through the rainforest but I hear it’s fun.

The best part was meeting up with the other tourists at the resort and hanging out as a group every night in the “town”. Very rustic and old-school, but people are laid back and friendly, like in most beach towns.

I hope wherever you’re staying has good plumbing. At my place you had to put your TP in the wastebasket. Nasty.

The water is warm and the waves are great. I almost drowned when I went, I was not used to waves that big (8-10 feet in some cases).

The women there can be attractive, but they all suffer from the same fate of many Central Americans — no ass a.k.a. “flatbacks.”

Let us know how it goes.

Yea I think twitter could be cool if you “followed” and were “followed” by interesting people who didn’t “tweet” about the length of their nose hairs being too long and the like.

I’ve been there last year. You’ll have tons of fun. It’s a beautiful beach and there is quite a bit of nightlife.

I recommend getting away from the developed part, though. The rain forest tours I did were the most amazing experience I had while there.

Costa Rica is such a small country and they have an excellent bus system.

If you have the time, check out Manuel Antonio, or – most impressive of all – Arenal volcano.
