Should I go to PJ20, Toronto, or Costa Rica??

I can't decide, I've always wanted to go to Costa Rica, and this could be a good excuse. I hate to miss PJ20 though..both once in a lifetime trips. I can only afford 1 PJ trip. Went to Toronto in '09 so that was fun, but its been done, so probably last choice. For PJ20 I can go w/ a friend, while Costa Rica would be a solo trip for me.

:?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

Does anyone have any thoughts on the matter? have you been to Costa Rica?
been to..ehh, East Troy, in exotic Wisconsin?

    Tough call. November is the best surfing time in Costa Rica, but September 3 is Pet Day in East Troy, which might even be worth missing PJ20 for.

    Been to Costa Rica on a 10 day trip before and it was AWESOME. Spent time @ Volcano, in a Rainforest and @ a Surf Haven (Tamarindo)

    That said, if you have the chance to do PJ20 my vote is for that. Plus you get to bring a friend! Costa Rica will always be exotic and there for you, just w/o PJ.

    Thanks...I think I'm leading towards PJ20. Good point on Costa Rica anytime, and it probably makes sense to go when a friend can go as opposed to travelling in Central America alone, which may not be the greatest idea. And really, who wants to miss out on Pet Day in East Troy.

    I have already paid for my PJ20 expenses and plan on going to CR. I also spent 10 days in CR a few years back and it was fucking AWESOME!!! Everyone's all laid back and there a bunch of bad ass things to see and do. Now factor in what could be PJ's 1 and only time there and you could walk in with a GA ticket in hand. After watching some of the videos from the South America tour i can't pass it up. When it comes to costs PJ20 tapped out my extra money and i am on salary at work so OT is out of the question. So i grabbed a bullshit side job at my friends warehouse making $10h :(. I'm putting in 15 hours a week until nov 20th to be able to go. Its 15 weeks away so go flip some burgers on the night shift and be tired as hell for a few months and do both!

    i will say a prayer for you.. did that when i was there and it was pretty sketchy. There is a bad ass ATV tour through the rainforest that i will do again along with rafting the Pacuare if the conditions are right.

    we did the zip line tour & it was awesome. it did freak us out a bit, though! :?

    we stayed at the Los Suenos Marriott when we went down & it was really nice & about a 5 minute ride from Jaco. great surfing, amazing people...and the coffee is the best i've ever had! we're hoping to go down for the PJ show, but we need the firm announcement soon, otherwise we'll have to pass.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    The atmosphere in Costa Rica will be great

    Imagine a passionate crowd of 30.000 people who have waited 20 years for PJ!!!

    I'll be there

    Welcome to Costa Rica

    no kidding? Good to know, not into ERs in new lands. Other option is to hang at the Marriott pool. Lets discuss at CV. Thanks

    yeah, now I'm back to costa rica. The thing is I see videos of those South America shows, much like the Italy shows, and the crowds are (like someone said) incredibly passionate and into it, and the arena that they are playing in looks incredible, so its hard to pass up CR. Plus like you're saying there's a ton of shit to do aside from the show..
    I heard the CR tix are going on sale around Aug 16th or 19th..somewhere around then...I'm sure it will be announced officially by 10C soon.
