Default Some thumbs up

Getting ready to go to Costa Rica for a few weeks so decided to take the vette for a short cruise down to Sedona(We live in Flagstaff). Got a thumbs up from a new copper bronze Z06, an early 60's corvette vert, and of all things a Porsche SUV. Gotta love these corvettes.

Have fun in Costa Rica. One of my most favorite places: Great food, people, and jungle. PM me if you have any questions and if your first trip.

Have a wonderful vacation in Costa Rica: A very beautiful Central American country with an acceptable stable social presence, and, a region that is rich in flora, fauna, and, lovely beach resorts. If possible, do visit Almonds and Coral Beach in Manzanilla, Costa Rica, on the Carribean Sea coast (eastern) side of the country. Cheers.

Jeff: Thanks for the offer. I spend a lot of time in CR. I built Crocodile bay lodge for a good friend of mine down in Puerto Jiminez from June 1999-March 2002. Have gone down a few times since for remodel and expansion. If you are a fisherman check out the lodge on Crocodilebay.com. Am married and Margaret goes with me most of the time so I am not interested in the "other" activities.

And, you gotta love those Lotus Elise owners too!

Jumped out into the passing lane in front of one yesterday, and exchanged wave's when I returned to the #2 lane and he zoomed right on through.

Hello from Phoenix. Did you know that there is a Regional NCRS event in Flagstaff this April? Should be lots of Vettes. Maybe we will see you there. We came up to Flag. over Thanksgiving and drove to the Grand Canyon. 24.6 mpg up and 28.9 on the return to Phx. You have to love that!

Flyzlow and Jacks 996. Thanks for the info for April, I'll try to make it. Taking the car down to A&A in Feb. for H/C package with hi stall convertor, hopfully it will be ready by then, and will look forward to seeing you. By the way my e-mail address is tiojames@hotmail.com so if you would, e-mail when you are coming and where to look for you.

I will be in Puerto Jiminez, right across the Dulce Gulf from Golfito in southern CR. That's were I built the fishing village a few years ago and I go down a few times each year-freebie courtesy of the owner, a friend for many years.
