Hi gdancer

I am also flying from Heathrow and am staying overnight. I am recovering from a bad cough and chest infection and at one stage was considering cancelling. I assume you are only taking US dollars with you and no local currency. The temperatures should be around 30 degrees although cooler at altitude. i went to a talk about Costa Rica at the Destinations Travel Show at Olympia which was very good. It was nice to meet Julia as well.Looking forward to meeting everyone .

Hi Peter

Hope you fully recover from your cough and chest infection so you can enjoy the holiday. For selfish reasons I do not wish to catch your bug!! By the way which hotel are you staying at? Both Abba Dave and I are at the Premier Inn on Bath Road.

See you soon.

Hi Jaya

I don't want to give you my bugs either. I only have the cough now and still a few weeks to go.

I am staying at the Leonardo Hotel , Bath Rd/Sipson Way

Hi Peter

See you at the airport as at the moment I am planning to have dinner in the hotel and have an early night. Want to get to the airport as early as possible in the hope of getting an aisle seat.

Hi Dave,

Sorry for the delay - you've asked a question for which the Community team don't have immediate access to the answer - Mildred has requested the information, we will get it chased for you first thing.

Sorry again,

Hello Peter, Dave & Jaya

Almost time for our departure. I have not had any contact with the other person travelling from Manchester, but after receiving my final documents I see that I can use the escape lounge at the airport and so will have more chance of spotting them. I have decided to take some local currency as well as US $. What time do you arrive in San Jose? I have to change flights at Newark, USA, we arrive in San Jose 20.55.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Hello Glenis

The group from Heathrow fly via Houston and arrive in San Jose at 2115 on the 8th. What time do you arrive?

I was advised to take some colones for Costa Rica when I collected my USD from the travel agent .

When I looked on line at the Q&A section for the lodges at Tortuguero where we have a 1 hr boat trip to access them, it mentioned a luggage allowance of about half that for the plane - presumably because of the boat - but this has not been mentioned anywhere.

See all of you on the 8th.
