Pickleball Players needed by thorpel
My wife and I have recently relocated here from Washington state. We are looking for pickleball players. We have paddles, balls and a portable net. We play here in San Ramon on basketball and tennis courts. Tony and Celeste
Having never visited San Ramon before, can you recommend a place to stay that is centrally located? We will be traveling by bus to explore if we would like to move there. And...do you have racquets for visitors to use? Hope to be there in two weeks! ... Read More

bringing seeds into Costa Rica by lauramacpherson
We will be in Costa Rica for 4 months. I wanted to grow some veggies and herbs while we are there. Does anyone know if you are allowed to bring unopened seed packets from the US into Costa Rica? Thanks. Laura

Handling uncertainty of visa expiration date
How are others handling the issue of exits and border runs when you don't know if you will be stamped for 90 days on your entry? I had thought we could fly in from the U.S., make a border run at 90 days, and fly back to U.S. at the 180 day mark. ... Read More
visa renewal process
We plan on moving to CR before year end. Since it will still be wintery conditions where we plan to come back to visit in the U.S., our plan is to make a border run after the first 90 days , then make a U.S. visit after the next 90 days. At that ... Read More
Exploring Costa Rica Culture by louise71594
Other than the gated communities (which we have no desire to be in, overpriced and not our style), what areas would you consider to be in a good location if someone like myself (and the hubby) wanted to spend time exploring CR, the culture, food, ...
I'll definitely let you know my experience. We are going for two weeks (leaving next week!) Spending time in 5 different communities specifically to see if we would like to live there with the same kind of lifestyle you speak of. We are planning on ... Read More
Is it realistic to think we can travel by bus? by terig
We are visiting for two weeks in January 2014. Our plan is to travel by bus from Alajuela to Grecia to Manuel Antonio to Dominical and ending up in San Jose. We'll be spending 3 days in each place. I've researched thebusschedule.com and it appears ...
Thanks for the helpful info! We decided to bus it no matter what so we could really experience the country. Knowing we may be in for a few long rides, we planned for it in our itinerary. I'll keep everyone posted as to how the trip goes so I can ... Read More
