Okay guys, keep in mind while reading this that it's my first trip report. Therefore I'm guaranteed to make some rookie mistakes.

To start off I'll have you know that I have never experienced some much anticipation waiting for March 31 to roll around. I was counting down the days largely in part to reading all of these great posts and trip reports from fellow mongerers. Also what was so great about this trip was the fact that it was to be devoted 100% towards finding chicas. I did'nt have to work around meeting clients or vendors or any other work related bullshit. My last trip to Thailand wasn't so great because I was there mainly for business purposes.

March 30th:
It's Saturday and of course I'm just about ready to bust a nut just thinking about arriving in SJ tomorrow. So I go off and do something pretty stupid. I decide to pay a visit to a couple of Houston's finer gentlemans' clubs. Believe me guys, we have plenty of em' to choose from. To make a long story short I end up blowing about $200 on dances and drinks. What that hell was I thinking??!! Sure I got some good grinding and touching dances but no penetration to speak of.
Can you imagine how much mileage you get in SJ for $200??

Day 1 - I'm the happiest bastard on earth!
I'm scheduled on Continental's 930ish non-stop.
I arrive at IAH about two hours prior to departure and surprisingly the airport is pretty packed considering that it's 730am on Easter Sunday. I managed to steal a couple of upgrade coupons from the office. Continental usually sends our company a stack of these coupons so we can use on "business trips". So I call ahead the day prior and my upgrades are confirmed. And since I'm confirmed up in first, I'm able to utilize their special line for first class check-in. So I'm checked-in after just 5 minutes while the other poor schmucks in coach have to wait in a mile long line.

The flight to SJ was great. I had a wonderful hot breakfast which was complemented with about 7-8 glasses of wine. So you can guess that I'm in a pretty good mood to say the least. I arrive in SJ and breeze through security in no time at all. I get a cab driver and he quotes the usual $10 to go to the Presidente. Within 30 minutes I arrive at the hotel. Surprisingly during the cab ride over the driver spoke some sentences in English. But once we arrived at the hotel the price had mysteriously gone up to $15! I explained to him that he quoted $10 but he just plead ignorance and claimed that he didn't speak English. Now I know that the many glasses of wine on the plane isn't enough to make me hallicinate so I just go along with it and pay the poor bastard his $15.
Hell, if the few extra dollars is enough to put some more food on his table for his family then so be it. It didn't bother me because I was in such a good mood. The lobby at The Presidente is impressive and looks new. They assign me room number 705 it had two beds, kinda old looking and plain but very spacious. I quickly shower, change clothes and head on out to the Marlin. I knew exactly where that pink landmark of chicas was located at. Once there I was expecting a somewhat larger bar thinking about all the talk of it on this board. But what was right on was the quality of chicas. Hubba Hubba!! I sat at the bar for a couple of Imperials (good beer by the way). I didn't want to just jump at the first offer so I pretty much played the field for awhile. I think I was groped and propositioned by about 10-12 chicas. It was hard holding back on some of them. I just kept thinkin' just what exactly do they feed these girls anyways???!! I love brunettes and I'm a breast man. I realized that I was in breast heaven! After surveying the scene of about 20 chicas I picked out a 21 y.o. Tica named Angie. She was a little quiet and reserved but I thought she was the best looking of them all. She starts off by quoting the usual $100 but I suggest 15,000 col. She then counters with 18,000 so I say okey dokey and off we go. As we were walking hand-in hand down that hill to the Presidente I suddenly realize, hey, this is that infamous walk-of-shame. I wasn't ashamed at all because I know alot of bastards looking at me would love to be in my shoes. Here's an idea guys. Instead of calling it "the walk of shame"...why don't we call it "the walk of FAME!" It's just a suggestion.

Angie was awesome, man she looked good naked. We showered, she performed BBBJ, we did all positions. Like I said about her she was a little reserved (not wild, not GFE). But overall she was flat out beautiful. She had a smile on her that made me melt when she looked at me. At the end I pay her 20,000 instead and that brings another beautifull smile to her face. We then walk back to the Marlin and I sit at the bar for some more Imperials. It's now about 4:00p and there's a nice breeze coming into the Marlin from outside. I'm thinkin' now, that it's good to be ALIVE!

I then exit BM and decide to walk around and search for IDEM. I'm able to find it thanks to my handy dandy map (thanks Lumps!). But sadly IDEM is closed. Across the street is Lucy's/Eros but the talent is less than desirable. So I pretty much come to the realization that all the other fun spots are closed and decide to go back to BM. Upon walking down the street from Lucys I come across a street hooker. She's not bad looking but then again not good lookin'. Keep in mind that it's still daylight outside. Maybe I just look like a tourist looking for sex. She just came up to me and asked if I wanted sexo. She said 10,000 so I countered with 5,000. She quickly agreed and we were off to The presidente. I wasn't exactly expecting toe-curling sex from her since it was only 5,000 col. But she turned out to be all right after all. I found it to be amusing that I didn't even know her name nor did I think to even ask for it. If she was at the BM she would be considered as a 3rd string tica. But at 5,000 col I thought that she was a cheap draft choice that payed off pretty well. With her everything was covered and I chose not to do any dining. Afer the street hooker I then shower again (this is my 4th shower of the day). The showers at the Presidente are incredible. It's as if they spent their whole budget when building this hotel on the showers alone. I'm feeling refreshed again and in the mood for more Imperials & chicas. I then visit Sharkeys bar which is just a few steps from BM. It's an American owned bar and they have 2for1 Imperials from 4-7pm. This was a good way for me to re-charge my batteries. There I had some good conversation with fellow gringos from the states. A couple of guys there mentioned that they were running away from something in the USA. One was going through a nasty divorce and the other was being sued for whatever reason. I guess they're not considered gringos anymore since they now live in CR. I had a few laughs BS'ing with these guys. So it's now after 7pm and I would assume it's prime time at the BM. This is where things get a little hazy. I guess all of my drinkin during the day was cathing up to me and I was feeling no pain! After many more Imperials at BM I select another young TICA. I can't remember her name, just that she of course is damn good lookin'. We leave the BM and I suggest we go to the nearby Key Largo (it was open). We then have a few more drinks at KL and then after those drinks we then decide to have more drinks. I think I used a credit card at KL for my bar tab (not too sure though) I guess I'll find out within a couple of weeks for the bill to come in. However, I do remember that we both are then sittin naked in the Presidentes' jacuzzi up on the 8th floor. This was a cool experience and very much recommended for anyone staying there. The cool night air really added to the experience. I think I ended up paying her 30,000 col when we parted. She was more than happy with that amount. Probably because she drank about as much as I did. She then went back to BM. She was pretty drunk herself so whoever else picked her up at BM that night probably got a pretty good time from her. She's the type that get's pretty wild the more she drinks. Okay by now it's getting late and I am fucked up (who knows how many drinks are in me). So I decide it's bedtime and call it a night before I can do anymore damage. I'm a little sad to sleep alone but hell there's going to be three more nights to fill that order!

Please stay tuned for days 2-4 coming up. Hope I'm not rambling on too much with this report. This is harder to do than I thought (so much to mention).

Shemp, we need to talk son. Paying $200 for lap dances in Houston while knowing all along you would be in paradise the next day. That same $200 is about 4 sessions at Idem.

Dude, I thought I taught you better than that. LOL.

Have a good time, and you made a nice trip report. Keep them up, cause until late May, I am living through you.

Poor schmucks in coach???? I resemble that
remark!!!! LOL.
From your report, which by the way is excellent
in both form and taste-especially for a
first report, it looks like you got off to a
great start. Hope that the rest of your trip
was equally successful. Have we met at any of
the "socials" in Houston. I have only been to
a couple, but have met a bunch of the locals. Looks like you know Dear John-I won't hold that against you whether we have or have not met each other. And he is right, $200-lap dances-no penetration-leaving the next day-what the fuck were you thinking.

You're doing well, I'm just curious, when you went to Thailand, did you get any action or was it completely business?

Any other sex destinations before that?

I was with Angie last month, what a great body with school girl innocense. Ended up with her again on my last night.

Food helps to keep the impact of drinking to a manageable level. Did you eat on day 1?

Excellent report. My computer is having a few problems at the moment, though. I think it is gagging from all the beer on your breath.

Shemp,

I'm with you and DJ, what the hell were you thinking day before the flight? Oh well, at least you had a great time on your first day. Makes me wish I could dring and hobby at the same time.

EMK

It sounds like you had a great time. Let me make one suggestion...Avoid the street hookers.
You were lucky this time, but it can get very scary with gangs ,boyfriends hidden in the alley, etc.There are enough places in San Jose where you can get plenty of action and are reasonably safe...Don`t take a chance on a street hooker.

DG

It also looks like there were good pickins' on Easter Sunday.....

I would agree on the street hookers-It’s probably a bad idea. The only reason a chica wouldn’t be in the BM or in another bar is if they have been banned, are under age, or they are just too ugly. If they got run from any of the bars, it’s probably for screwing somebody over or stealing. I’m assuming that yours wasn’t underage if you went to your room, but there are serious criminal penalties for child prostitution-even if she’s 17 and looks 30 with a fake ID, the police won’t care. Letting the BM or whatever other bar you go to check their ID first when they enter insulates you from this to a degree, but I always check myself, usually when they show their ID to go upstairs. I’ve found that the chicas will lie about their age (either up or down) about 50% of the time, but there’s usually no reason I can see to do it. An old favorite at IDEM told me for a week she was 18. When I checked her cedula, she was 20.

One other thing...I think some of the streetwalkers are ladyboys in the general area of the Del Rey. I’ve only seen one or two and he/she was obvious, but I’ve read some scary stories on some of the Thailand threads. Be careful.

Overall it looks like the situation turned out ok and that you had a great time.

Keep it up,


Hombrecito1

I don't think I'll live down that one night before my trip.

Also now that I think of it, the street pick up maybe wasn't such a good idea and a risk. I was just in that mood where I wanted to do alot (as in people). I even had my eye on the maid at one point. She was a bit tall for my taste but cute.
I decided not to thinking it might get me in trouble.

CostaRic: I've never attended any of the HOU functions. I'm sort of a part-time hobbyist in the local aspect. Maybe I'll give one of the meetings a try sometime.

As I reiterate, this is my first mongering trip and I will make mistakes. Wait till you get a load of my screw-up during my 2nd night!

These mistakes will give me an excuse to return to CR so I can fix em!

Shemp, when you get back to Houston, we need to talk, son.......LOL

Enjoying the report, Shemp. Like Costa Ricardo, I wonder if our paths hav'nt crossed in Houston.... Looking forward to more.

Shemp,

I can relate to part-time hobbyist in the local aspect, but I dragged my ass to the last benefit, and met some great guys. And ya, also met DJ who along with a couple of others set me straight about a thing or two. And I made my mistakes in CR after carefully reading the boards for a few months before my trip.

EMK

I don't remember seeing any streetwalkers in the Gringo Gulch/Del Rey area. The ones I saw were farther south near Molino Rojo. I also saw some on the cab ride back. Most were pretty scary looking and looked like guys.

Hey Shemp
Costa Rica is quite the place! Damn can you ever drink. If I had 7-8 galsses of wine on a flight I'd have to be carried offa the plane.
Glad hear your first trip to CR was a good one.

Well,

I ordered the tickets today. Rio will have to wait, I'll be in San Jose May 10-13 and fly out first thing 14th. Short trip, but since I'll be in FLA, it's only a little over 330 for round trip, and four days of Ticas sound wonderful.
