Laverne,
You should contact George Lundquist- http://www.costaricaretireonss.com. He can answer any questions you have. He offers a great informational tour to folks considering retirement or residence in CR.[/quote]
Thanks so much!
About how much should my husband and I budget for a 1-3 month visit (with our little 10 lb. Shih Tzu)? Approximatly how often do travelers have problems getting their small dogs into Costa Rica and then back into the US? We’ve only been to Costa Rica twice on shore excursions. Once to Dole Banana Plantation and another day trip to the Rain Forest. On our next visit we only want to bring our pet and clothes. We would appreciate recommendations — and contact info if available — for safe, clean, and affordable short term accomodations.
