  1. Did a half day here in San Juan de Nicaragua. It's kind of off season but two small Dorado females, a small yellowtail and a bonita.
  2. Back from Nicaragua I should have taken a taxi directly out of Managua. Pretty much nothing there. Granada is cool. Ometepe might be my new favorite place in the world. Ometepe seems like a place you could hide out if you were running from the law. San Juan is a good spot as well. I actually stayed in Maderas which is about 20 mins into town. It's pretty quiet but close to Playa Maderas where I took some surfing lessons. Was a pain to get into town for fishing on Saturday. And the roads around Maderas are dirt and then mud. It was supposed to rain all week but other than evening thunderstorms since its' rainy season the weather was fantastic. Mosquitos are a big time issue and the govt fumagates like crazy. It smells like diesel exhuast all the time Things are cheaper than CR but not exactly dirt cheap. Beers are a tad over a dollar. Credit card use is few and far so lots of cash but there are ATMs even in little Ometepe. You can get local or they will actually spit out USD People are really nice and I felt completely safe Nicaragua is going after the digital nomad business. They are building a Freeway from Costa Rica to El Salvador. The say it will be done next year but lol. That's ilke saying 35 will be done tomorrow This is now a top 10 country for me. I'll definitely go back. As someone said about it's still got some massive infrastructure issues. Lost power a few times but usually not for long.
  3. Whew And definitely a hand ball cost us a clean sheet
  4. This looks like a squad that just played Monday
  5. I wont get to try it out until the 8th
  6. Anyone use the new global entry app that just launched? Ill be testing it next week on the way back in from central america. Looks like you just take a selfie when you are landing etc and that takes the place of the kiosk all together. Looks like it only works at the following Seattle Tacoma International Airport (SEA) Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Miami International Airport (MIA) Orlando International Airport (MCO) Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)
  7. ^ I keep a spreadsheet with all the cards I've opened with dates and when closed etc so that I can always know how many slots I have left in my 5/24.
  8. As much as I try I always end up with extra currency. I just take it back next visit
  9. Get some Scotish notes and watch everyone in London lose their shit when you try to pay with a RBS note Agreed with all above about cashless. I looked like a moron trying to pay with cash while everyone paid with card
  10. So I was going to do two nights in Managua and do a couple of day tours from there. I get in at 1230 so I have time for a night time tour to Masaya. Then one night in Ometepe and then three in San Juan del Sur I'm thinking now I leave from Managua after one night then to Leon for a night maybe two? I'd axe a night in San Juan and as well to add that second night night to Leon. Kind of want to volacano slide and all the tours for that seem to be out of Leon. I can also consider reversing order. Land and go straight to Leon. I have to end up back in Managua anyway but my flight home isn't until 230 so I was just going to leave San Juan early. To summarize 1 Managua 2 Leon 1 Ometepe 2 San Juan I have some resersvations set but everything is changable at this point. Anyone want to weigh in?
  11. Not a huge cigar somker. Maybe once a month but I do love this idea. Looking into it. Thanks. Olivia is my prefered brand. I also emailed La Aroma and they said no tours but Ill keep digging. Viator doesn't really show anything about cigars but I googled and found a few spots that I could check out.
  12. The entire football world makes fun of his nonstop excuse machine. It's legendary Take the loss you pussies
  13. Death taxes and Klopp with more excuses than my 14 yr old daughter. What a cunt
  14. Klopp already bitching. Death taxes and Klopp excuses
  15. This trip is booked. Into MGA on Monday Oct 30 and out on Sunday Nov 5 Volacano surfing at Cerro Negro with a stop in Leon. Ometepe. San Juan del Surf Some of this looks day tripable SHould I bus or get a driver down to San Juan or rent a car.
