Also thought about Brazil. Sorry.....Lots of places running around my head

San Antonio if you've never been there is GREAT! Gotta check out the river walk for sure. I would wait till it cools down a bit. Maybe end of September on. I could sit here all day long and tell you about San Antonio, but if you've never been there, you are missing the boat. It's cheap and LOTS to do there.

Costa Rica is GREAT too. I was first there in 1974 so things have changed drastically since, but its still a very neat place. It's nice and cool in San Jose at night, breezy in the day time, far more pleasant then the coastal areas. Pubic transportation is cheap, easy to get around. Go see VOLCAN POAS, which is the closest volcano to San Jose. Airport is in ALAJUELA which is some 12 miles to San Jose, and its closer to see the volcano from the AIRPORT since going to San Jose is the other way. Costa Rica has some neat looking markets and you really feel you are in a typical Central American town. Tropical juices, fruits and seafood all great. I don't think you would have problems flying there aside the weekends. Especially around now. Lots of European backpackers there. They go for that ECOTOURISM thing. Coffe is super.

Brazil, kind of stopped in Sao Paulo a few years back when I went to Argentina. It's very crowded build up. But you can find a lot of fun there and much to do there. I didn't check out anything outside of a mall and the hotel we stayed two nights. Mall had all these restaurants and lots of walking around. Kind of stayed in the general area. The food alone in Argentina and Brazil is reason enough to go there I think.
