  1. As hook said, don't mess with driving around. There's plenty to do in a week at Tulemar / Quepos / Manuel Antonio. The private beach itself could occupy a lot of your time. Offsite, outside of fishing with hook, of many things I highly recommend the zip lining. Not really for the faint of heart - the highest platform is 15 stories up which gets you eye level with the clouds in the rain forest. But is's a helluva time. We saw 8 and 10-year olds doing it when were there last November and you could tell they were having the time of their lives.
  2. I think the villas (4 - 6 occupants) are rented for < a week. Least that's been our experience and was so last November. The houses, like he is looking at, are typically week rentals.
  3. Here. We're repeat guests every November. Just a great property all around - beautiful and really well maintained, nice houses / villas, outstanding customer service including a dedicated concierge, private beach, 3 pools, lots of wildlife (monkeys, toucans, sloths, etc.), great location w/ grocery store / restaurants within walking distance, onsite cafe which is good. And on.
  4. Pick you poison - The criminals are seeking shelter but your vehicle is still going to get trashed.
  5. Discounted tickets for the COTA tower.
  6. Developing to the NW, still a good ways away.
  7. Re-install the Moments tiles on the Barton Creek / Mopac walking bridge. The people walking to meetings downtown during August could use the serenity.
  8. Meh. Child's play vs. the shootings / murders last June in OSP.
  9. SAM and forcefield have one thing in common tonight: both with their legs spread wide open.
  10. 6" earlier. Chickage not satisfied.
  11. 10 years ago tonight when all hell broke loose in Wimberley. Spencer, Shaggy and others couldn't believe the reports of a massive house floating down the Blanco. I think there were 9 total in the house. One survived. Two bodies (4 and 6-year old) were never found. Good but terrifying read from Texas Monthly. (Should be free access. If not, C&P below). https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/when-the-river-rises/
  12. Damn, they got it out west. Good to see.
  13. Garza's going to put a hit out on Plohetski if one's not already in the works. Pretty easy sell given that the guy would be out of the cage within 48 hours.
  14. It's Austin. Enjoy your visit to Earth.
  15. I applaud your level of optimism.
  16. So instead of 25 people riding all of Cap Metro we're down to 23. We'll be back to 24 in a day or two once Deepak is let out of jail and given a lollipop and pat on the back from Garza upon leaving.
  17. Tidal wave of water over 2.5 hours. A 31 feet+ rise in that amount of time seemed unfathomable in the immediate days after. Still does.
  18. I was there the day after the shaggy group was. Went with co-workers. A scene you can never erase from your mind. I think two of the kids in the house were never found.
  19. Coming up on the 10-year anniversary when inhabited houses floating down the Blanco came to the forefront. We helped clean up just across the river where the Porsche double parked. I'll never forget the mammoth cypress trees just turned on their sides. I wanna say Travis rose 40+ feet from those rains but don't recall whether it filled up.
  20. On a related note, I don't think I've ever seen (much of) anyone eating at this place downtown but it seems to have been around awhile.
