    Hi, as a Costa Rican I can say that reason to have a low speed driving limit is due to the type of "highways", they are most like roads with a lot of curves and that is the reason to drive a little bit slower that other countries; traffic is awfull and people need to be very patient, if you use waze never trust in how many time you will get to the spot you need to go.

  • @DougTvedt
    @DougTvedt 3 дні тому

    Thanks Josh. Good advice. Do they still use the phrase "PURA VIDA" in Costa Rica?

    • @olmanchuz

    Just finished sailing her on August 25, Greek Islands. Ship was clean, food was ok, almost identical menus to our Epic sailing 2 years ago. Lots of kids. No Greek food served at all, that was disappointing. Entertainment was not as good as the Epic. 7/10

    I'm a dude solo traveling on Divina in January. I even have the same room area. Maybe different deck but same angled balcony deal on the right side of the ship ( was your room in the 50s?) Wow. Ultra appreciate your perspective given we may 95% have they same setup on the details of the trip. 🤝

    • @SixteenVoice

    Batteries and cables look.... off in X-ray machines haha. A good way to avoid delays (and I tell people this all the time) if you have a large amount of cords/wires, to store them in a separate bag from the batteries. Makes it look alot more benine in an X-ray reading.

    • @travelslarge
      @travelslarge 2 місяці тому

      They do look questionable in x-ray, they showed me in London when I got pulled aside. I need to put the cables in my carryon, however it’s something that I usually need fairly quickly to plug stuff in.
