I’ve written in the past explaining about the Costa Rica vacation consulting model that I currently use with my customers. Most of them “get it.” However, a few are a little slower… Since everything travel-related these days is so price-competitive, it’s completely understandable for folks to get confused about the fact that I do not […]

I’ve been designing and managing fully prepaid and packaged Costa Rica vacations for well over a decade now. The packages have always included accommodations, activities, and in-country transportation. Historically, many vacationers have liked these types of tours because it takes the responsibility of planning a trip to a foreign country out of their hands and into […]

Picture yourself on a white sand beach in the glaring tropical sun with the waves crashing on a crystal clear sea while you recline on your beach chair sipping a tropical rum punch.  Sound nice?  Well it is a perfect setting to enjoy in a place like Cancun or Cozumel, where the resorts are large, […]

What’s so great about a vacation?  Most people live their lives in order to take one.  It becomes really, after the kids and that ultimate vacation called retirement, the most important day-to-day motivating factor in their lives (well sex has to be up there on the list, but the vacation is usually viewed as an […]

Have you ever raised, or taken part in raising, a “strong-willed” child?  You know the one that always goes left when you say say right and up when you say down.  Well this morning I am not going to talk about children, but customers (who, frankly, often behave as children)…and it seems that 99.99% of […]

“Costa Rica”  I can remember when that name carried an exotic and mysterious appeal.  Where is that place exactly?  Isn’t it DANGEROUS down there? I mean, do they have roads?  Can you drink the water?  Well, all that has changed in large part now as Costa Rica has become a new house-hold word in the […]

Well seems I just passed the half-way point for 365 Reasons I Love Costa Rica. Writing these posts has been quite a journey for me. Within the previous 183 one can find information about Costa Rica (what the blog was originally supposed to be), my frequent political rants, bouts of self-loathing, as well as a […]

Well wouldn’t you know it, after a week of stock market gains everyone is smiling and talking about the recovery being underway.  But wait, aren’t those the same people that were just last week blaming the stock market plunge into oblivion on Obama’s stimulus plan?  Does Bush now get the credit for the recovery since the plan […]

Wow the tourism business is tough these days!  People don’t want to spend a dime and when they do, man do they do it with attitude. That’s understandable, because in these tough economic times every dime counts.  But I am writing this to inform would be travelers to Costa Rica a few things that I […]
