    01/2018 - Howday Y'all

    Hello all! I am a newbie to the site, but not to the hobby. I have been to Amsterdam a couple of times as well as to Costa Rica a couple of times. I grew up in Texas, so I got to go down to the border towns in Mexico before it got so crazy. I am trying to plan my next trip to the Dominican Republic, so I figured I would create an account here and explore. A trip to Thailand is also on my radar.

    Well, Amsterdam sucks, but we haven't had a Costa Rica report here in a long time, hope you share your adventures with us. Welcome aboard.

    I'm booked for the first 2 weeks of April in Sosua.

    Always willing to meet and show people around. Senior members here were nice enough to do the same for me.

    Stick around, research and maybe buy a 3 month subscription to get the low down in advance.

    Haven't heard yet if you are traveling solo, with other guys or couples.

    If solo or with buds I would switch from PC to Sousa or Boca. I have been to PC many times and it is beautiful with awesome resorts but I always the wife in tow.

    If you are going for chicas the prices will be higher and not as plentiful.

    Read some trip reports here. There are many good ones about all over the country...................except PC.

    My stomping ground was in Nuevo Laredo. You could sit in a club drink some cheap beer and have fun in there for about $60. But my favorite was the door girls where they you could walk down the street and see all different girls available. Those door girls were $20-40 depending on looks. Right outside of the club there was an awesome street taco cart that sold tacos and coca-cola for $1 each, so we would always fill up on tacos before getting a cab across the border. I wish the drug wars weren't so crazy or I would have spent way more time down there as it was an easy weekend trip to get down there.

    I am traveling solo and would be flying into POP, so it would either be staying in Sousa or getting a room at Blackbeards. I kinda like Blackbeards as it seems very similar to how the Sportman's Lodge is setup in Costa Rica and I have enjoyed my stays at that hotel.

    I am always down to meeting others for a beer and swapping of stories. I appreciate the offer to help show me around. I am learning a bunch from the forums and am looking into subscribing. I haven't booked my trip yet, but once I do I will reach out to you so we can meet up.

    Without drug wars, I would be in Mexico yearly.
