  • Costa Rica: Tipping
    - At restaurants, a 10% service charge is included in the bill. You may want to add an extra 5% only for especially good service.

  • Costa Rica: Transportation
    - Buses are widely used and economical. Most taxi fares within San Jose are relatively inexpensive. Check to see that they are using their fare meter named 'Maria'; if not, agree upon a price before starting, to prevent any surprises. Travel by air within the country is adequate and inexpensive. You may drive up to 3 months with a valid driver's license issued by your country. There is a 20% surcharge for taxis after 10 p.m.

  • Costa Rica: Vehicle Rentals
    - Do not rent a car from a private individual in Costa Rica - go with a reputable company (unless you like problems).

  • Costs of Dining in Turks and Caicos
    - Travelers should be aware of the prices that they will have to pay for a good meal out in Turks and Caicos. Because of its location, most of the food must be imported. This makes dining here more expensive than on other Caribbean islands. More tips are available at TurksAndCaicos-Guide.info.

  • Dominican Republic Travel
    - For the Dominican Republic: only drink bottled water, period. Bring your own anti-bacterial hand soap. Be sure to eat OUTSIDE of the resorts. It's totally safe, and you won't get anything nearly as good inside. Start with the Plato Del Dia. Also, all the Dominican Republic cigars are good, but they will try to sell fake Cubans. Beware.
