    Thanks for answering. I am the parent of a Delta retiree living in the Chicago area. It seems like winter is here so I am looking for a warm place to spend some time. A rental by the week or two weeks sounds good. I appreciate your help. Thanks again.

    Do you want to be on the Guanacaste peninsula or down by the south-west coast? Or in the Arenal/Central area? You can fly either LIR or SJO. Have you looked at airbnb or homeaway or similar sites for digs? What about a car?

    No problem You fly into ALAJUELA, not San Jose. In Alajuela, take a cab close by where they rent vehicles. Same area where the airport hotels are located, maybe some 3 hotels close by, Hampton Inn, is one of them, right there they have rental cars. I thought I saw BUDGET and others. Easy and close to the airport. From there, you can drive anywhere. I recommend VOLCAN POAS. It's in Alajuela province about an hour and a half away from the airport heading north. Those hotels are nice too near the airport. San Jose is about 12 miles away. You can take a bus there if you need to or drive there. San Jose area cooler climate. Coast is hot.

    Help!!!!!-arctic-13nov14-gifYup, that arctic air invaded Texas pretty good, been chilly all week. I think we get one day mild weather tonight, followed by another blast into the 20's at night for at least a few days more. (I've seen winters where the temps hardly dropped below 30.) Definitely the coldest November I've seen since I've been here. I think that hurricane in the Bering sea shifted the jet stream. This is really unusual. Chicago? I've been there in the winter. Oh yea.

    As I mentioned, Delta flies into SJO airport and LIR airport, both from ATL. You can arrive one and return other (based on seats, of course). What sort of plans do you have in mind? You may want to split your 2 wks:
    1) one interior--volcanoes, hot springs, hiking, coffee plantations, etc
    2) one coastal--small beach towns or resort areas; there are plenty of either
    Something for everyone.
    Check the timing for weather issues, like rainy season, history, etc.
    I might consider Panama for ease--happy to send you link for condo there (airline people). I've not stayed there but have been to Panama.

    Forgot to mention. SJO is in ALAJUELA. San Jose is some 15 miles or so uphill from the airport at Alajuela.
