Costa Rica Poker Convention?

[GregK]

Anyone going to Costa Rica Dec. 7th/8th? http://www.pokerindustryexpo.com/

I'll be there, heard the Marriot there is really nice too.

Found a little village/surfing beach off the beaten path w/80f water & lefts/rights for miles will be there for at least couple weeks afterwards too

I'm just going to meetup with some of you & party for the most part, plus a surfin' vacation.
I put this biz back on my fun/hobby list a few months ago, way too busy with my real job nowadays.

I'm booking my trip within the next few weeks.

Beach & palm trees in Dec. baby!

Cheers

Yea I really hope I can make that one. It's a long way but I think it'll be worth it.

Anyone know what the weather is like in Costa Rica in Dec?

Hot as a mother f 'er. That is there summer time. It doesnt rain too much in their summer though, not as much as in the winter from what I remember. It's a good thing because the river run off makes the water pretty funky especially if you surf. Bring the peroxide

I never stayed in San Jose more than going in and out of the airport but it's not the nicest cities. Or at least it wasn't 8 years ago. Costa Rica is awesome and I think I might make this one.

Where were you planning to surf Greg?

I will not be there for the expo but will be there in February for the Absolute Poker $50K freeroll. CAC Amsterdam will probably be more beneficial. I will be there.

Looks like Dec is the start of the nice season, avg high: upper 70's & 60's at night

Hey hoursurfer, going to surf at Playa Grande, close to Tamarindo.
Its on the dry Pacific coast where the waves are hell of a 4wheel adventure getting there from SJ I guess, might fly from SJ to Liberia, then Jeep it?
Hate to miss a good jungle muddin' adventure though lol

Tenatively planning on going to Amsterdam also, mostly vacation/party again too since 80% of my dealings wth the poker rooms are going to involve my middle finger! lol

Dec 5th to 7th is Bodog conference in the Bahamas.

You can take small plane from San Jose to the Pacific coast and then take a Jeep or Bus to the city of destination. It's not that expensive. The other option is to take a bus for 3-5 hours or so from San Jose to the Pacific coast depending on where you're going.

I think their rainy season ends in late December but I would double check that.

If you're looking for surf, check out the town of Dominical.
