Hitting up Costa Rica next week

Recommended Posts

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!

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
