Johnny's take on Costa Rica

Costa Rica is in fact a 3rd world country, do not be confused. the water cannot be trusted and neither can the Beef.

the only true way to enter Costa Rica, is with NO plan at all, just a little bit of elbow grease, and a whole lot of "want to"

Start with a 3 hour drive through the JUNGLE and a stop at POLLO FIESTA which translates to (Chicken Party) where each meal required the killing and cooking of a live chicken!
Jaco Beach: Considered to be one of the worlds most premiere surf sites, and as much as i agree with this, i can also call it the worlds most premiere Bad Brown Sand/Pee Smelling Street/Stray Dog Infested/Homeless Inhabited surf sites! 5 hours of surfing will leave you with 3 things: 1) Chaffed Nipples 2)Bronzed Shoulders with extreme back to butt tan lines and 3) Charlie Horse Prone Legs!


Manuel Antonio: the actual jungle, most beautiful location yet, but also the hardest/windiest/topsie-turbiest road to get there. Even Thomas the little engine that could, would say "screw it" and give up on these hills! the people, very friendly, and the resteraunts........ Gorgeous, simply gorgeous! When you happen to go out to the only location with english speaking tourists are you feel at home, until you walk outside and realize you are in the middle of the rain forrest! sleeping here is over-rated because you are going to be woken up at 4:30AM weather you like it or not, but howling/screaming/angry MONKEYS!



Going from Manuel Antionio to New Brunswick, New Jersey Entails:
45 minute Car Ride to closest town
5 hour bus ride to San Jose Airport
3 hour flight to orlando florida
10 minute monorail to main gate
10 minute monorail to departure gate
2 1/2 hour plane ride to Newark New Jersey
20 minute monorail (Airtran) to NJ Transit Train tracks
45 minute Train ride to New Brunswick, NJ
10 Minute walk to center New Brunswick

doing this will only cost you an arm and a leg, and take a quick 17 hours!
But coming home with Viagra.............. PRICELESS
