We're Back...Costa Rican Cruisers

[southerncruiser62]

Well as some of you know Shelley and I got married July 3rd down in Charleston, SC. We couldn't of asked for a better weekend with family and friends where all things went together perfectly. We took off to Costa Rica shortly afterwards and are just now getting back into the groove of things.

Wow! is all I can say about Costa Rica. We spent some time in and around several small villages and the people are some of the friendliest people I have ever met regardless of the conditions they live in day to day. The scenery is incredible and the waters hosts some incredible fish. We will be heading back shortly.

Though our club is getting more and more diverse in the cruiser arena as far as models go I am sure you all will enjoy the photos. I had confirmed with a Toyota rental company before leaving about renting a 70 series diesel and when we got there to pick up rental I was told they don't offer that car anymore. After about 40 minutes of going back in forth (they wanted to stick me in a RAV4) we were put in a brand new 2011 Landcruiser Prado 4 door Diesel. Truck was incredible and now I am faced with trying to figure out how to import one for Shelley, likley not happening.

Shelley and I look forward to eventually making a ONSC event once things settle down. We are under contract in one house and have to be out by August 7th.

More Photos

Ironically prices here stay very stable, we looked at two potential imports and after speaking with owners they actually probably sell for more in Costa than in the states.

We took what photos we could while driving...

More 45 than I remember hearing others say they had seen.

More photos

Very unique 45, that 2 door 70 series is the captain of the offshore boat we fished. Sold it for $2000 the day we fished. White cruiser was our 2011 rental.

Congrats!
38 mpg is crazy.

The 38mpg sounds a tad high... maybe that's imperial mpg?

Great pictures though sounds like you had a fun time.

Thats one thing i miss about the military and going to these places. Seeing all the cruisers.
