Re: Costa Rica: relaxation AND surfing? Posted on: Thu, 01 Jun 2006 23:27:24 GMT

Keith,
Did you rent a car while you were there? Is it possible to use taxis or walk
to reataurants etc? We were in CR a few years ago and drove around. This
time we'd like to just hang out in one spot. The Liberia is open now. Do you
know how far the Flamingo is from the Liberia Airport?
Thanks,
Judy
