    Sorry everyone:
    I’m not sure the message was sent. I’m wondering if the Tala Inn is still in business. It’s in San Jose, was family owned and I used to stay there along with many Quakers who settled Monteverde.
    Secondly, we arrive early on Saturday morning about 7:30 a.m. How long will we be at the airport clearing customs, etc. We’d like to grab a bus to Puerto Limon but if it’s several hours before we emerge from the airport perhaps we won’t. Also, The Dunn Hotel sounds like a nice place. Where is it exactly? Thank.
    Kathy

    My guess would be one to two hours to get out of the airport door. I’ve been through in as little as an hour and as long as 2.5 hours.

    You could take a cab from the airport to P. Limon for about $160. I’m guessing but I think it’s about 3.5 or 4 hours by cab. I’ve taken a cab lots of times to Siquerres and it’s $130 as of a few months ago. So I’m guessing about $30 or 40 more to Limon. Use the airport cabs if you decide to go by cab and always get the price up front rather than on the meter if you’re going that far. I use a very reliable guy who speaks fairly good English and I’ll pass his cell number to you if you like. His name is Jeffery and he used to be a tour guide.

    Take extra care on the streets in P. Limon, and have fun

    ssure, I would like to hire a driver/guide for a day. If you think Jeffery would be good for this could I get his cell # from you? Thanks, Shaun.

    Ssure Shaun:

    Jeffery’s cell is 888-1156. He’s a straight shooter in my opinion, and very safe driver too. That’s his cell. If that number is no good get back to me and I’ll look for his card.
