[QUOTE="Gale Seddon, post: 908316, member: 53"] Hook, do anything you can to take that trip. I promise you will not regret it. I think my round trip airfare (Dulles Airport to Panama City to San Jose, then a puddle jumper to Quepos -- best flight of the trip -- was a little over $400). Neophyte that I am, it took me about 30 minutes to get the sailfish in. Got a major blister on my thumb after about 15 minutes and that hindered my ability to "reel, reel, reel" (yes, I know, some excuse is better than none and you can see how delicate I am, ha ha!). Yes, it seemed to me that the little jack was solid muscle and was not inclined to come into the boat. My brother got several sailfish on a small rod with 30# test line (did I say that right?). He was absolutely thrilled; he paid extra to fly the rod down there, so we were happy he was successful with the sailfish. We went after roosterfish, but nothing stayed on the hook. Even caught live baitfish for this and watched as many were lost, half-eaten, or lines broken. I understand the roosterfish will put up quite a fight. My thumb was secretly glad not to catch any. Jogee, is that a trick question about the watches? I didn't notice, to be truthful. I stopped wearing a watch several years ago. But I noticed that all the taxis had clocks. The sun set there between 5:45 and 6 PM there, and I knew what time it was when we woke in the mornings because my brother and SIL seem to wake at 4:30 AM no matter what, even here at home. And although Happy Hour officially began at 4, we got happy when we felt like it, usually after a short nap and a swim in the afternoons. I do recall and am somewhat ashamed to admit going to bed one night at 7:30 PM. That's downright pitiful. Katherine, if I had found a frog in my bathing suit, I'd have passed out! On a night-time guided trail walk, a gladiator frog jumped onto someone's shoulder. I took a photo of it. I admired the girl's self-control as she didn't screech, scream, cry or faint, all of which I'd have done had it landed on me. [/QUOTE]
