ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:
Has my blog helped in any way? Helped find something•brought more EASE? More exposure or business?
I welcome you to show YOUR appreciation for my efforts!
ANY size DONATION is APPRECIATED!

English Speaking TAXI DRIVERS in Costa Rica

For the Most updated version go to:


Here the start of my list of OFFICIAL RED TAXI DRIVERS that I have used. Most of these speak some amount of English and the one’s that don’t, MY experience has been they are at least pretty trustworthy/reliable. Right now the list is predominately geared towards the Escazu area BUT it’s expanding (with YOUR HELP!?!?!) so keep checking back with my Living Life In Costa Rica site.


Do you have a LEGAL RED TAXI DRIVER to add?? 
E- me at  Taxis@CostaRicaResourceGuide.com


ALL the info is subject to change. MOST drivers are available additional expanded hours by advanced appointment. If there is an area with their name, they STILL can go to other locations - this is just where they predominately "hang".
PLEASE be VERY SPECIFIC ON YOUR NEEDS!!  If you need them to be there at a SPECIFIC HOUR - BE DIRECT - TELL THEM (otherwise you may be stressin' if they're in the middle of another client and/or are in traffic.  If so, YOU ASK them to help you get another driver!). 
NEVER NEVER NEVER lease a voice message for a driver and expect them to call you back!!  I find that MANY people in Costa Rica don't know how to use/check their FREE voice mail!!!





@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@



ALWAYS MAKE SURE THEY TURN THE
"MARIA"/METER ON!!!!!!!!!!!
(it SHOULD be at 585.0 [don't get me going on the .0 part as that confused MANY a person who gave 5,300/$10.60 vs. $1.06 and trust me, not many drivers will "enlighten" you)




@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


NEED A TAXI OR VAN TO TOUR AROUND?
PICK SOMEONE UP AT THE AIRPORT?

I can hook you up with a GOOD, reliable English-speaking driver that can take you WHEREVER you need to go in Costa Rica!! We can help you with a taxi, van or even a bus!
Call me at: 8-378-6679 within Costa Rica or from the U.S. – 1-941-312-7569 or email me.

Do you know any other MACINTOSH / APPLE TECHNICIANS to add to this list? 

WHY YOU WANT TO BE LISTED ON THIS BLOG!!!!
My blog is now getting nearly 10,000 "Views" a MONTH and is considered one of the top English Information Sites!!!

Please have them fill in our form with as MANY DETAILS as you can give at:
http://LivingLifeInCostaRica.blogspot.com/2012/01/mac-apple-repair-technicians-get-listed.html




I don't care what the rest of the world's statistics are as based on MY observations - a LARGE percent of people I know living in or visiting Costa Rica have Apple's / Macintosh's - yet finding someone to repair it or hardware or software at a reasonable and in a timely manner and finding things for your Mac can be QUITE challenging and EXPENSIVE!!
So I've started a list of resources!! If you know anyone/anything else to add - have them go to the link at the bottom of this page for the questionnaire.
