Any of y'all been to Costa Rica? Going with my girlfriend next week. Flying into Liberia on Southwest, got a great deal on flights - so easy to go to the Caribbean and Central America from Texas. We're staying near Tamarindo in an Air BnB. Got a whole house to ourselves for a week with a washer and dryer and full kitchen - only $500 for a week! I think we spent less than $1000 on the whole lodging and flights. We're renting a car for the week for about $350 though, and that's expensive because of the insurance they make you buy with it. Going on some excursions and catamaran cruises and etc. Anyone been out here? Seems amazing from everything I've researched!

You will have a blast! Been a few years, and we stayed up in the "mountains" and the roads were pretty sketchy getting up there, but it was incredibly relaxing and serene. We were closer to the east coast and, much like other Latin American countries, there are the nuances, customs and cultural differences from one geographic area to the next.

Tamarindo is one of the best surfing spots in Central/Latin America with a very consistent break- you should take advantage of that.

Heading home today, great trip! Highly recommend Costa Rica. 

You’re so right about the roads being sketchy! We did some exploring to an adventure park and to some of the beaches around Las Catalinas. Luckily we had a little Daihatsu 4x4 that handled driving on dirt, rocks, sand, rivers...it was an adventure driving on those back roads, but I’m excited to get home just so I can drive on paved roads again!

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      People are using this "three year period" to gloss over the reality that he was very mid last year and in Purdy's case, "last year" means 40% of his starts. I don't "hate" Purdy, I just think he's a very middle of the pack starter and you can't pay those guys $50M+ a year. GMs and coaches can because they just want to keep their jobs. But as a fanbase if you're wanting to compete for SBs, ugh... you're basically resigning yourself to mediocrity with decisions like this.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Unless a miracle happens and we're legit SB contenders, I want to just miss the playoffs due to some close losses, not win the division to lose in the first round. We finally have all of our picks again next year, I'd rather be picking 5-7 spots higher in each round, while at the same time, then having a 2nd or 3rd place schedule next year instead of a 1st place one. I just can't see any scenario where we are true contenders this year, but we should find out if Bryce can be our QB of the future.  If he isn't, then we're not making the playoffs anyways and will have a high pick to replace him.  If he is, it means 2026 is the real opening of our SB window once we add some more defensive pieces, so I'd rather go into that season picking earlier and have an easier schedule. And yes, I know people will say think like "you need to win to gain confidence and experience, blah blah blah" But just missing out on the playoffs because you lost couple close games is certainly a way to make a team hungry going into the offseason and keep them motivated to be better. I've said it before and still think it holds true, we need to look at the Lions and hope to repeat their path. Our last few years were their early 2020s when they sucked.  This year can be our version of their 2022 when they missed the playoffs in week 17.  Then our 2026 can be their 2023 when they made a run to the NFC Championship game (and really should have won it).  Which then puts us in line to be one of the best teams in the league going into 2027, as they were last year.

      Hmmmmm, sounds like a familiar fear And sure, a big part of my fear was the injury concern (that will always follow Bryce around) but the everything else I said is the same. If he's too good to let walk in FA but not good enough to justify a top end contract, we're in the worst possible situation
