Hey Michael. Thanks for the response.

I'd prefer somewhere French or English to Spanish, since I don't speak Spanish, but I visited there once with my family and it was absolute paradise!

Anyone think I'll have problems renting a car there with a G1? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm thinking of moving there just after Christmas, for up to a year, but alternatively, I could go down soon for about 60 days, and come back for Christmas... I'm not sure.

I'm only worth about $16k right now, so this would be quite an expend for me (the flight + computer shipping + passport/whatever), but it could probably be an acceptable expense if I really enjoyed myself.

What's the weather like this time of year down there. We should be approaching the wet season, right?

Great idea re: extra suitcases / carryon!

I stayed in Guanacaste province (NW costa rica) last time I went. I'd probably go back there.

Whereabouts are you in the country?

I heard the NE coast has better beaches but more riptides. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
