Will be making reservations in the Mal Pais area for February [is the weather good during this time, lol] hope so, it’s a cheap time to go/off season but hoping for lots of sun.
what are the beaches like in Manzanillo?

Eric S asked:


Is it in January when the sun is in the Southern sky? Is it true they call this Summer in Costa Rica eventhough it’s really their winter because they are North of the Equator?

When’s the best time to be at Waco Beach?

Matt asked:


I’m going to costa rica, with is on the equator, for a week. I currently live in chicago and i am not very tan, so in order to get a good tan in a week, without getting burnt, what tanning oil/ sun screen should i use?
I was thinking more like 10 spf….wanna get a quick tan

Oban Star-racers Fan asked:

I have had the same dream for about two or three years now and dream dictionaries haven’t been able to actually help me.

It starts with me being in a really bright white room, four walls, a ceiling and a floor all in a gleaming white colour.
There are six large windows {almost like Bay Windows but not as big} – one on each wall, one on the ceiling and one on the floor.
I’m floating quite high in the air an equal distance between each window {maybe about two or three feet}.
One of the wall windows shows a tundra and what seems to be the classroom I was in when I was in Year 4.
Another of the four wall windows shows a tree-filled woodland area and the Library from the College I went to.
The third of the four wall windows shows a desert and the huge library of my High School that I spent most of my time in.
The last of the wall windows shows a Jungle and my favourite place to relax – a small beach in the Costa Tropicana Spain.
The Ceiling Window shows a beautiful Panorama but it’s odd and I am unable to actually describe it except with simple terms – strange shapes, odd trees, a purple sky and a white sun.
The floor window also shows a beautiful panorama just as difficult to describe, save for the fact that it seems to be the opposite of the other – a pink sky and a dark red sun.
Every time I get nearer than 1/2 a foot to one of the six windows they change positions and it starts to make me dizzy.
I stay floating in the centre of the strange ‘dance’ trying to figure out which way to go when there is a flash of blue light and a woman appears; she has long silvery-blonde hair and bright green eyes and is wearing a white robe; I know she is important to me but I dont know who she is.
She smiles as she looks at me and looks around, she looks at me again and tells me to follow my heart, that my ‘Soul Song’ will guide me, she tells me in an urgent tone to listen.
I do as she says and there is a strange thrumming hum in the back of my mind, as I concentrate on it it gets louder it starts to sound like a strange music made of wind, waves, humming and a faint singing.
I start to block everything except for the song that is now filling my entire being and feel my body begin to spin.
I open my eyes and always seem to wake up just before I find out where I am supposed to go, I think that the woman may have either been my subconcious or my Guardian Angel.

What could this dream mean?

lrluisro asked:

It´s Independence day here in Costa Rica, and i have to appear on some parades as a circus owner (You know, the guy in the red suit with the funky mustache and the tall hat). Anyways, i gotta glue a fake mustache on my face but face glues are quite expensive. Is there anyway to make homemade face glue? Please take into account that i have to sweat for at least three hours under the midday sun at 30ºC/86ºF

SillyLady asked:

My husband and I are looking to go to the Caribbean next month. Neither of us are much for just lounging in the sun and I will be about 3 month pregnant by then so partying is out as is diving, zip lines, and other such activities. We are laid back outdoorsy camping types, into photography and want both beach and rainforest. I am leaning toward St Lucia (and have looked into Guadalupe and Dominica but they don’t seem as easy to get to). We don’t want to go to a fancy, big money spending place or like a Spring Break or Hollywood vacation spot- just normal. I would like to avoid places I have been already (USVI, Bahamas, Jamaica) and Puerto Rico is probably too American. We are also looking into Costa Rica. We would like to keep it reasonably priced and aren’t sure all inclusive is necessarily worth it for us (it seems it costs about $100 per person per day and I just cant see eating $100 worth per day- you almost have to drink your money’s worth). Also we don’t want to spend the whole trip at a resort- we want to get out and explore!
Okay, I am being sold on PR a bit now… plus it’s a lot cheaper to fly to and get good nonstop flights, or early arrivals…but would love to hear more from people…
