I opened a bank account at the Banco Nacional in Atenas using my US Passport, my Corporate Cedula, and a copy of my land purchase contract. We will apply for pensionado status later, after our house is built and we are living in it.
Using the ATM card for either dollars or colones is a snap. Online banking at the BN Website is in Spanish, but with a little coaching is as easy as any US bank, and better in some respects – one can find out their utility bills and then just click to pay them. Also if you wish to make payment to someone with a Banco Nacional account you can do that instantly online at no cost!
Good luck.

We have gone back and forth twice with our toy poodle as carry on luggage with not problem. All you need on both ends is the international small animal health certificate that both US and CR vets issue after examining your pet. There is no quarantine in either country.
The only problem we had was one time when American Airlines would not let our dog travel as carry on to a destination outside of the United States. They allow that within the States of the United States, but apparently do not know and do not want to know the laws of other countries they fly into.
Good luck.
