re: Cuba, Costa Rica, or Panama For A Vacation?

I’m from Costa Rica and used to go almost every year for Christmas (not as much now because of work). Costa Rica is great place to visit and the people are great. Things are expensive there compared to other Latin American countries because of high taxes. Besides San Jose being in the middle of the country most people stay on the pacific coast for beaches.

As for Panama I always wanted to visit there. I have been to the boarder being 4 hours away from where my family stay. Panama City is the most modern city in Latin America and they use American dollars.

Cuba is a place I always wanted to visit because the culture is very intriguing to me with its history. My cousin from Costa Rica went to Cuba and loved it. He said the food is plain because they don’t have any salt or seasoning. He also said when you buy stuff they don’t want money they rather you give them salt, toothpaste, deodorant, and stuff like that.
