You would go to Costa Rica just to fall in love with an American girl??? Now there is an angle I have never heard. Hilo Boy, you do realize lots of mainlanders go to Hawaii hoping for the same thing, to fall in love with an island girl/boy, what are the odds of it happening? I would say take that and divide it by at least 100 and those are your chances if you are hoping it is not a Tica. Hard to go to a place where you aren't the home team and expect to leave with one of their cheerleaders on your arm.
