This trip report consists of both information about the San Jose Costa Rica portion of my trip, and about Colombia. So, I will organize everything into segments where I can post the San Jose portion in the Central America section, and then post the Colombia portion in the South America section. This promises to be a very long trip report, and breaking things up in this way will make it much easier to read as well.

The first part of my trip to Cartegena was fraught with airline travel problems. It was very frustrating at the time, but eventually things worked out, and the trip proceeded according to plan.

I am going to relate the details of my travel problems because it’s a wonderful catharsis, and because portions of my story may help some of you in your planning if you travel through San Jose. However, this promises to be a lengthy post, so pace yourself accordingly.

I had arranged to fly from the Midwest to Houston (IAH), and then on to San Jose Costa Rica, where I was to catch a plane two days later for Cartegena. I wanted to spend a couple of days in San Jose before traveling on to Cartegena. I have two good girlfriends in San Jose, and my plan was to see them for a couple of days before continuing my trip.

The trip started out perfectly, but, when we got within about 25 miles of Houston, the pilot realized he was running low on fuel. Because of a slight backup in Houston, he didn’t feel as though he had sufficient time to remain in formation to land, and we were diverted back to Dallas for fuel by air traffic controllers.

I was told it was not entirely the fault of the pilot, but that our flight had been instructed to fly at a relatively low altitude by air traffic control, which consumed an unexpected amount of fuel.

As a result, the plane was late getting into Houston, and I missed my connecting flight to San Jose that evening. It was the last flight out of Houston so the airline decided to put me up at the Sheraton near the airport. Obviously, I was very disappointed at the prospect of spending the night in Houston and not with one of my girlfriends in San Jose.

The airline (Continental) wanted to keep my bags and forward them on to San Jose on the flight that was to leave in the morning. However, I was concerned that the trip was already seemingly jinxed, and realizing that I was going to catch a flight from San Jose to Cartegena in just two days, I decided that I could not afford to take the chance that the airlines might lose my bags. I didn’t want to be arriving in Cartegena, and have my bags sitting in San Jose.

So, I decided to reclaim my bags in Houston, and to recheck them the next day prior to getting on the flight to San Jose. This process promised to take at least 2 hours according to all of the gate agents. So, I prepared myself emotionally, and ventured down to the baggage services area of George Bush International.

To my complete surprise, I was delighted when the agents in baggage services retrieved my bags quickly, and I was on my way to the Sheraton in less than 25 minutes. But, I was just lucky because it is common knowledge that the process can and does generally take much longer, especially when the airport is busy.

The next morning I boarded my flight for San Jose without incident and arrived in San Jose around one in the afternoon. I proceeded to the Hotel Presidente by taxi, and everything seemed to be back on track again.

I was intending to see my girlfriend from my last trip, the girl that worked over at Josephine’s Strip Club. I called her cell phone, and she told me she had to work that evening, but that she wanted to see me. She decided to come over to see me from 3pm to about 6pm. It was perfect timing because she had to be at work by 7pm, and I wanted to see my other girlfriend too, the one that had been working at Cassablanca strip club last time I visited San Jose.

The girl that worked at Cassablanca had expected me to show up the previous night. I had decided to check email while I was waiting for the Josephine’s girl to show up, and I noticed that the Cassablanca girl had sent an email asking me why I didn’t want to see her. She thought I stood her up. She didn’t realize that my plane had been diverted, and I was sitting in Houston the previous night.

So, because of the flight delay, I had formulated a plan B, which was to see the Josephine’s girl for a couple of hours from 3-6pm, then to visit the Cassablanca girl at her club in the evening while the Josephine’s girl was working.

The Cassablanca girl had switched jobs and moved over to a club named Kumar since my visit to San Jose last month. So, I planned on finding Kumar later, after my Josephine girl left for work.
My girl from Josephine’s came over for a couple of hours and we enjoyed seeing each other very much. She told me she wanted to come back to see me after work, and that she wanted to stay with me all night so she could spend some time with me before I leave for Colombia. That was a great idea, because my girlfriend at Kumar didn’t get off work until at least 4am, and my girl from Josephines could make it back to my hotel by 2:30am.

So, after my Josephines girl left for work around 6pm, I checked emails at the internet place up the street, ate dinner, and visited some pharmacies in the area to check prices on some things I needed.

I arrived at Kumar around 10pm. I sat down and asked the waiter to fetch my girlfriend. She was in the back getting ready. She had no idea that I had finally made it to town, and she didn’t know that I had received her email telling me where she now worked. So, my presence was a complete surprise to her.

When I sat down, one of the other girls was quickly moving in on me, and just about that same time, my girlfriend saw me from across the room. She let out a really loud scream, and she had a big smile on her face. She ran from across the room, through her arms around me, and started kissing me all over. The other girl just stood there with a big grin on her face.

My girlfriend is acting really happy to see me and we have a great couple of hours in Kumar. Sometimes these girls really make you feel like they genuinely “love” you. It is a really nice feeling. My girlfriend from Kumar wanted to come to the hotel to spend the night with me after she got off work at 4am, but I told her that my flight leaves San Jose at 2am in the morning for Colombia.

I didn't want two girls showing up at the hotel at the same time, both of them expecting to screw me silly, unless of course they are interested in a three-some. These girls are not bi, so I thought it would be wiser just to tell my Kumar girl that I was running out of time in San Jose due to the airline problems and that she would not have time to come see me at the hotel.

I liked the selection of girls over at Kumar better than Cassablanca. There are some really nice looking girls in Kumar. I like the flaca morena girls, and Kumar has several. I had never heard of Kumar before my girlfriend had told me about it in her email, so I was totally unfamiliar with it. Maybe I just missed it, but I had never seen it referred to in the archives of various sites, so it was kind of a pleasant surprise. The drink prices were much more reasonable than places like Josephine’s, and the girls were better looking than what I found over at Cassablanca. However, compared to Cassablanca, the salida to take a girl out of the club is very expensive. I think it costs around $200 to take a girl out of Kumar for all night, whereas it is very reasonable over at Cassablanca, around $35 for all night, plus whatever you pay your girl, which is probably going to range in the neighborhood of $60-80 for all night.

I left Kumar around 1am to return to the hotel. I decided that it had been a long day, and that I would take a nap before my girlfriend from Josephine’s returned. It was just what the doctor ordered. I slept a couple of hours, and around 3am, my girl from Josephine’s called from the lobby of the Hotel Presidente. She came up to my room and we had a really nice time getting re-acquainted.

My girlfriend from Josephine’s stayed with me the next morning and we had breakfast in The News café inside the Hotel Presidente. Then, my girl came with me to the airport to see me off on my trip to Colombia. I explained that I would be back in San Jose for only one night in about a week after spending some time in Colombia. She made me promise to call her so she could see me again.

Now, keep in mind, this girl did not ask for one penny the entire time she was with me. She stayed with me all night and part of the previous evening before going to work. She told me in very sincere ways how I was really special to her, and she proclaimed in very sincere ways that she loved me. I did not pay her anything and I did not buy her anything except breakfast at the café in the morning. She is a really good girlfriend.

According to sources I have in San Jose, she doesn’t go with other men at her job at Josephine’s. The guy at the Hotel Presidente said he had never seen her there before. She is very, very, pretty. She has the face and body of an angel. I notice that when she is with me, other men break their necks to look at her. She is really that stunningly beautiful.

She apparently goes to work each night and then she goes straight home to her casa. She does not seem to be a pro. I think she is merely a girl who earns her money stripping in a very exclusive and expensive club. Her mother thinks she works in a restauarant in San Jose, and nobody in her family realizes she is a stripper. Much of my information I have about her I have verified through third parties.

I am really surprised by her sometimes because she is sometimes embarrassed at being nude with me. I asked her how she could be a stripper and she says she is very embarrassed sometimes, but that she can earn a lot of money to strip, so she does it. She acts like a very modest regular girlfriend might act. I have also noticed that she is relatively inexperienced sexually. Lately, she has been very passionate with me. She becomes more and more passionate and less and less inhibited each time we are together.

I am really starting to like her a lot because she does not act like she is a pro, nor does she even act like a semi-pro. I think she is a legitimate girlfriend. I have had to teach her things sexually. It is like she is my high school sweetheart or something.

I know it is crazy to assume that a girl that one might meet in a strip club is that naïve and that she is merely a “regular” girl, but I am starting to believe it. She had made comments to me and asked questions of me that make me think she is legitimately interested in me as a love interest. I think all girls are interested in our money and in gifts, regardless of whether they are pros, semi-pros, or otherwise. Those of you who have wives and girlfriends will understand what I mean. But, that doesn’t mean that they do not love us or that they do not also want us to satisfy their love interests, does it?

If it is all an act, then she is a very good actress. Anyway, it doesn’t matter me. She has convinced me of her sincerity, and I like her very much. The more I am around her, the more I like her. Besides, I will never be in a position to take our relationship any further than it is now because I have other permanent commitments in the USA. So, a permanent relationship with this girl is out of the question for me. So, I will just have fun and give her my love when I am with her. Who could ask for more? Besides, what am I to think when she has cost me absolutely NO MONEY this trip.

Anyway, we went to the airport together the following morning, and she saw me off. However, to be perfectly honest with everyone…She did explain that she would like to have a new TV, but she told me she would be happy with a used one too. I told her that I would not give her any money, and that I would see her when I come back to San Jose. She said that is fine, and that she does not want money from me. She says all the right things. I told her I might think about buying her a used TV when I come back to San Jose, but for now, I would not give her any money. She was fine with that and started kissing me and telling me she loved me. It was no different than if I told my wife or girlfriend the same thing.

Many of us are very cynical about some of these girls when they ask for money or want gifts, but I say it no different than what most of us who are married or have girlfriends go through on a daily basis. Just because the girl wants a TV, money, or a gift doesn’t mean that they are only in it for the money, TV, or the gift, right? You sell yourself short if you think that the girl is only interested in only your money. I don’t think it is always the case. Obviously, it is usually the case most of the time, but we sell ourselves short when we click with certain girls, and just because they ask for gifts or money, we think they do not want us for love and romance as well.

Anyway, enough preaching…stayed tuned for my continuation of my trip to Colombia, and my follow-up report of my last night with my Josephine’s girl upon my return to Costa Rica following my trip to Colombia. More airline problems await me when I get to the airport in San Jose, and I am really thrown a curve in trying to make it to Cartegena…stayed tuned for the sorted details

Unspongebob -

I really enjoy reading your stories. I read your stories and relate with a smile on my face.

I never met a (young) single straight woman who was not looking for Mr. Right. I've met attractive women who did me for the money and they could care less who I was. I've met attractive women who initially did me for the money, but then when I returned again and again, business stopped and a $-free GFE filled relationship began. We're all human in this world...most everyone is looking for love, happiness, and financial security....the circumstances how you meet and how the relationship starts shouldn't really matter.

From your story I detect you somehow are trying to validate that this girl genuinely loves you because she does not charge you any money for sex, she seems to be very happy when she is with you, the GFE is apparently great, plus she even told you that she loves you.

Well, she probably does...or very minimally wants to.

But also realize that she can be just as slick as you are...you said you have committments in the US. You have more than one girlfriend at each hobbying destination. You seem to think through the best way to maximize the numbers wherever you are. If one cancels out, you have a back-up. And that is all cool in our hobbying world.

If I were you I would change nothing. Stay in touch with her. See her when you can. And go buy her a "new" TV because she pleases you and you want to make her happy (I assume you've known her for a while). Enjoy the (nearly) $-free GFE she gives you. Maybe one day your other committments in the US will fade and this girl will rise to the top of your list?

But, realize that if you can have a girlfriend/wife in the US, and two girls in every port and get away with it (because you are clever, and you can manage the logistics)...so can she. Accept that this is possible and don't worry about it. Enjoy her while you can and sprinkle a little sugar as needed to keep it going...you have a good thing.

Now, if you can only get more pre-arranged GFE guaranteed $-free relationships in Costa Rica and Colombia, or wherever else you like to monger...that would be even better.

Nothing better than a harem of beautiful women who all adore you free or "nearly" free of charge.

Make it last as long as you can.
