El Pueblo in San Jose Costa Rica PARTY TIME!

admin — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 20:31:52 +0000

El Pueblo is a GREAT place to experience Costa Rican nightlife. This old Spanish village is a complex of souvenir shops, bars, clubs, and restaurants. El Pueblo is located just across the river to the north of town and the BEST way to get there is by taxi (and as always- if you’re PARTYING, we always recommend using taxi’s, regardless of your rental car situation.

In El Pueblo, there’s a bar or club for just about anyone’s tastes. Dancing, conversation, drinking- you name it- it’s in El Pueblo. This place gets PACKED at night, so if you’re looking for something to do, you can’t go wrong here and there’s plenty of restaurants to choose from as well.

San Jose Costa Rica Sabana Park

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 20:31:42 +0000

La Sabana Park or Parque La Sabana is easily located on any map of San Jose. It is located at the western end of Paseo Colon. Back in the day this used to be San Jose’s international airport. This is the perfect place to spend the afternoon and immerse yourself in Tico culture as this is the city’s center for active sports and recreation. Here you’ll find everything from jogging trails, soccer fields, basketball courts and even a few public tennis courts. All the facilities in La Sabana are open to the public.

Parque La Sabana is where Tico families gather for picnics, kite flying, fishing and overall socializing with friends and family, and there’s even an outdoor sculpture garden. This is just a GREAT place to experience local culture and maybe even a good reminder on how the simple pleasures in LIFE are often the BEST… there’s not a PlayStation in site.

Check out our video of La Sabana and if you got an hour or two we would recommend a stroll through the park. We would also recommend you leave this park before dusk and AVOID it all together during the night time hours when the sketchier characters of San Jose come out to play… and they don’t seem interested in a pick-up game of soccer.

GAY Protest- Gran Hotel Costa Rica Discriminates!

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 20:31:33 +0000

GAY Protest held outside the entrance of the Gran Hotel Costa Rica and next to the National Theater. It appears GRAND Hotel Costa Rica may want to consider providing its Security Staff with Sensitivity Training, or perhaps a Review of the current Costa Rican LAWS on the Books regarding the discrimination of Gays. Basically, two lesbians accuse the Security Staff of the Gran Hotel Costa Rica for harassing and discriminating against them for kissing outside the hotel in the square. The kicker, apparently it wasn’t even a ‘making-out’ type of kissing. How boring is that? Well these lesbians weren’t going to take it, so they got their gay ‘family’ and friends to stage a protest outside the Gran Hotel. It was very nice to see a good turn-out and BEST of all, many ‘younger’ gay Tico’s were present of show their SUPPORT. Now that’s what I call a step in the right direction.

Lap Sleeve Gastrectomy Abroad – Costa Rica Medical Tourism Testimonial

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:11:04 +0000

http://www.medicaltourismco.com//weight-loss/bariatric-surgery.php
Peggy and Debra Berg, the mother-daughter duo from California, had their lap gastric sleeve operation in Costa Rica on the same day by the same bariatric surgeon in the same hospital. This video was recorded 11 months after their sleeve gastrectomy surgery in Costa Rica.
They had tried all kinds of diets like Weight watchers, south east diet, fruit diet, and so on. They also tried working out in the gym.
Because of their higher BMI, they had problems like knee pain and co-morbidities like high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
But gastric sleeve in the US was beyond their budget. Another problem they faced was that Peggy was considered ineligible for bariatric surgery in the US. She was 70 years old when she got the surgery done; 60 is the cut-off for weight loss surgery in the US.
So, they researched on the net for cheaper options for sleeve resection surgery and found Medical Tourism Corporation. They decided on Costa Rica for their weight loss surgery and ended up saving about 40% of what theyd have to pay in the US.
Debra is pleased that Medical Tourism Corporation answered all the questions, and she asked many.
The hospital in Costa Rica to which they went had all the modern equipment and the staff was courteous and professional. There were always English-speaking people around them or they had interpreters. They stayed in private rooms at the hospital which were spacious enough for a companion.
Post-gastric sleeve surgery, Debra lost 80 pounds and Peggy 55. Their general health has improved drastically.
Other discount obesity surgeries Medical Tourism Corporation offers abroad are lap band, gastric bypass, and duodenal switch surgeries. Mexico, Belgium, and India are other popular bariatric surgery destinations surgery packages morbid obese surgery Costa Rica self pay bariatric surgery abroad cash price gastric bypass Costa Rica affordable bariatric surgery abroad obesity clinics Costa Rica bariatric centers Costa Rica Vertical Sleeve (Gastrectomy) surgery Costa Rica hospital clinica biblica CIMA San Jose Dr Jacobo Zafrani Dr. Carlos Francisco Quesada Ramirez Dr Mario Sainz Ramirez recovery time for gastric sleeve

Diverted Flight AC1904 PART 4 – 2nd Landing Attempt at SJO San Jose, Costa Rica

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:10:47 +0000

OK, now we’re turning around and approaching from the opposite direction after the 1st aborted landing. Notice the flaps and strong winds. Finally landed safely…only to sit waiting for the fuellers to re-fuel us and for Liberia to re-open. 2 hours on the ground. Finally, Liberia Int’l re-opened and we were off again! One of the best AC crew I have ever flown with. All flight attendants and pilots were excellent, up-dated us every 15 minutes (with what little information they were getting from SJO ATC and LIR ATC), passed out beverages and snacks and left the entertainment system on, all while doing their best to empathize and reassure everyone on-board to the best of their ability in a situation where little information was relayed to the pilots and crew and limited resources.
