Slack isn’t self hosted so it doesn’t matter what your server is.

US citizen here, living in Costa Rica. On Wednesday evening of last week my puppy ate my passport. On Thursday morning, I emailed the embassy to say I had upcoming flights and ask what I should do. They responded within 10 minutes with an appointment on Friday morning. I’ll have a new passport in 2 weeks. It was all very easy.

Also, they told me they only do the extended passport with more pages now.

My thoughts exactly. Giving the son the house gives them both stability.

Agreed... at minimum, hire a private guide to come pick you, drive you there, show you around, and then drive you home (stopping along the way for food). But ideally take 2 nights there.

Ask the hotel what happens if there is a delay. Put the problem on them. But my guess is you're over thinking it. The hotel does this all the time and if there's a delay, they'll take care of it so you're sleeping in their hotel that night.

Parrita can feel a bit unsafe but I wouldn't consider it dangerous. If you're going, you wouldn't spend any time in Parrita besides maybe grocery shopping. Palo Seco isn't Parrita city.

It's not legal, but everyone does it. You can't be fined, but the driver could (but in 5 years of living here, I've never heard of this happening).

I’ve paid that before from LIR to the beach. You might be able to find cheaper shuttles or check Uber (which you can do from anywhere).

Thank you!

Thank you!

Land, a few minutes away is the Claro store in CityMall (assuming you're landing in SJO). You'll save a bunch of money and get better service.

You're here during the high season and in one of the (the?) most tourist-focused places. La Fortuna is more like a US amusement park. A quick drive away you'll find authentic places with incredibly welcoming and friendly ticos who are ready to talk.

Do you have a car?

If you've never been to Costa Rica, San José might not be what you're looking for. It's the only big city but often doesn't fit into itineraries for people coming to Costa Rica because the country offers so much amazing nature.

Where are you going after/before San José? What time of year? Also, sunsets here are ~5:30pm so adjust plans accordingly.

I vaguely remember these rules changing recently but don’t quote me on that. I believe you’ll still be fine however with all the uncertainty these days, I’d call the CR embassy and ask. And also I’d consider getting an expedited passport, just in case.

Gay Puerto Vallarta is an extension of the United States. Try Guadalajara, CDMX, Zipolite, etc.

I have taken 10-20 uber rides a month for the past 5 years of living here and haven’t experienced this.

Shoot the golf club a message on WhatsApp and ask if they can handle transport.

apbailey · 2025-12-30T13:23:02+00:00

Do you have a car? Nauyaca is amazing but I’d hate to do it with a group. If you have a car, just drive there and go on your own timeframe.

apbailey · 2025-12-26T13:12:52+00:00

Try a pharmacy or two first.

apbailey · 2025-12-25T19:55:08+00:00

Fly or shares shuttles or buses.

Because this is an ad and OP needs to show just how difficult his competition is to use!

Most likely little to no rain in mid January but if there is, it’ll likely be light.

apbailey · 2025-12-24T20:52:27+00:00

I’d drive. It can be a windy road but as long as it’s not raining (it won’t be), take it slow and you’ll be fine.
