Jaco Travel Blogs

Background: Costa Rica is a Central American success story: since the late 19th century, only two brief periods of violence have marred its democratic development. Although still a largely agricultural country, it has expanded its economy to include strong technology and tourism sectors. The standard of living is relatively high. Land ownership is widespread.

Greetings to all of you old bloggers and to all of you new enlistees. Many of you have asked about the blog and why you haven't heard from us for so long. Well to tell you the truth I though that since we were both back in the states we would see or talk to most of you at some time durring the summer and Fall months. As it turned out, that was the case for most of you. It is now November 21 and Laura and I have returned to Costa Rica for the next 6 months. The 5th wheel [View Full Entry]

The Hermosa beach in Jaco is the ideal place to relax and do nothing. Actually, this would be misinformation for the avid surfers for Hermosa is the surfers paradise. But since I don't surf at all I liked it because it was quiet, devoid of much commercial activity and the hotel we were in was right on the beach. We did go out on a sky walk tour near the Carara Biological Reserve but we were unlucky as we didn't get to see any toucan or macaw. We saw some other birds and a lot of green and black poison dart [View Full Entry]

Cest a cet endroit ou nous avons vu le plus bel oiseau du monde, le aras. Eh oui, [View Full Entry]

Gosh, where does the time go? Seems like we just arrived. Well this Central American country insists that you leave every 90 days, until you have established residency. We will be working on that but probably not for another year or until you know who starts receiving his Social Security. Laura is one step ahead of me, but we need to show a combined income and we are not wanting to ship our retirement down here just yet. So that means we leave the country every 90 days. This is a little sticky at times, only becasuse Gringos think it means [View Full Entry]

Welcome blog readers. Glad to see that you are all still hanging in there. We are finally getting the hang of a Third World Country. Still have no idea how to get around San Jose, but that will come over time. ( may be in the next 10 years) As long as I can find my way to and from the airport we will be in good shape. All of our stuff finally arived. That is the good thing. Once it made it into the country it was shipped to San Jose to go through Ccoustoms. Nothing like we think of [View Full Entry]

As I'm writing, it's Good Friday and I've just returned from visiting the small port town of San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua. This is the first time the Star Princess has stopped at this port but the towns people were well prepared for our visit with plenty of security and opportunities to buy handcrafted goods. Since it's a holiday, a lot of locals were spending the day at the beach and waiting for the annual parade. Three of us paid $5 to take a scenic ride around the town on a bicycle carriage made for two, the poor cyclist huffed [View Full Entry]

Greeting one and all, I talked with my sister Lynda in Taiwan yesterday who also has a blog. I was trying to figure out this picture thing and I guess it is tougher than expected, so you need to be patient with me. I am hopeful that I can do it today. I found out that I need to have all of my dialog written before trying to upload pictures. So for the third time, I am going to try and hopefully, you will be able to see some of the happenings of our adventures so far. We had our first [View Full Entry]

I have finally managed to figure out how to import pictures, but not sure if they are going to be included with this blog. I will keep trying until I get it right. If the pictures do hapen to show up, enjoy them. there are plenty more where these came from. I just wish I had all of our previous pic's to share, but they are now happy with the Columbians.. who stole our computer. But don't get me started... [View Full Entry]
