I totally hear that, I lived in Costa Rica for 5 years, I hope to at least start spending winters there again, and eventually to move back. I fell in love with the culture, the food, the rainforest, the beaches, the volcanos etc.. It really does make a difference being able to get out all year, even simple things like a walk to the corner store suck in winter lol

Or riding a bike. I speak Spanish and I've wanted to visit CR for some time. If it's anything like Panama I think I'll like it.
CR is amazing, I liked it better than Panama, but I also got robbed in Panama, and had to deal with some Panamanian border guards that refused to let me cross the border without showing a plane ticket back to Canada - even though I lived in Costa Rica, and was married to a Costa Rican, so that tainted my experience a bit having to put an unexpected $900 on my credit card at the border to go on our vacation we'd booked lol
Jeez that would taint my view on a place too. Sorry about that.
I'd even been to Panama before, I knew it wasn't required. I had my ticket back to San Jose and my paperwork to prove my residency in CR was in progress... But this guy decided he didn't like gringos or he was jealous my wife was hot or something, and wouldn't budge until I bought a plane ticket from Panama to Canada...
Egos.
