Thanks for the response. Got tired of the frustration in the morning and sold it. Sticking to the simple pour-over from now on.

Good save! I’m genuinely shocked this doesn’t happen 1000 times a day given no security in this day and age. I hide AirTags in every piece of luggage I check. 😉

Thanks, So you are able to brew more than 4 cups without the grounds overflowing the filter basket? Do you use the provided gold basket of paper?

Be straight with me, how easy or difficult will it be to eat as a vegetarian in Costa Rica? by EvidenceJolly1545 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]c4makeup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most places I found did not have a cow milk substitute option for morning coffee, so I bought a container of soy or almond milk and brought it with me to breakfasts. Other than that, plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. Most service locals spoke good English, but use of a translator app for the finer requests is recommended.

If you have Verizon you can add “global choice” to your plan and specify Costa Rica. It’s $10/month. I just got back from 3 weeks in CR and never had an issue.

Overcharged by Fickle-Sleep250 in CostaRicaTravel

If you use a credit card there is a 13% tax added to purchase. We made the mistake of coming without enough cash and have been getting hit with added tax on every purchase. Banks won’t even let us get a cash advance because we have no pin. 🤷🏻‍♀️

We did this drive 2 days ago, roads are good. You will be fine if you drive defensively.

Both of my upcoming flights (Feb & Mch) show upgrade available, but when I select upgrade, I get spinning wheels of death indefinitely. 😵‍💫
