1987-93 Mustang LX Taillight Lens Kit (Part #LRS-13450PR)
Watch this video as Jmac walks you through how to remove and install Fox Body Mustang Tail Light Lens. Jmac is installing a set of high quality 5.0Resto 87-93 Mustang LX taillight lenses.They are easy to install, and a budget friendly alternative to replacing the whole taillight assembly. Kit includes driver and passenger side lenses, butyl adhesive tape rolls, and attaching lens clips.
If you have wrecked your fox body Mustang and busted the taillight lenses, or you are just wanting to freshen up your Mustang's rear end, there is no better way to go! All 1983-93 tail light lenses are interchangeable, which allows you to personalize your foxbody Mustang. Replacing your tail lights are the perfect way to finish off that project Fox Body Mustang you have been working so hard to finish up.
Now today I'm going to show you how to replace the '83 to '93 Mustang tail light lens What we're working with here came out of a '93 coupe, and we have our replacement LX tail light lens in front of us. Now, you don't have to remove your housings from the car just replace the lens. We did so here just [INAUDIBLE] this installation.
Now, you're going to want to grab a flat blade screwdriver or something similar. And be very careful. Work your way around the edges of the housing and lens, separating the butyl tape sealer from the lens. You can actually start working it out by hand. Just work very slowly-- that way you don't break anything. And pull your old lens off.
Now, the inside of this housing is extremely dirty, and I need to remove all of this original sealer. I'm going to go ahead and get this cleaned up, and we'll show you how to put on the new sealer and new clips to attach your new lens.
Now that I've got everything cleaned up, I'm going to go ahead and throw on the new clips and the new butyl and the new lens. Now, all I used to clean out the old butyl was just a simple flat blade screwdriver, a little bit of time, and a little bit of patience. Work your way all the way around. You're not going to be able to get it perfectly clean unless you use some sort of chemical agent, but it's really not necessary.
I did take just an all-purpose cleaner and a microfiber towel and cleaned out the inside of the lens housing, because there was a lot of dirt built up. I'll sure you'll find the same thing on yours. Now, the factory uses four retaining clips. The new lens comes with five. The retaining clips are located on the outer tabs. And I'd normally take this fifth one and stick it on the next available tab next to the inside, because this will be next to the license plate. This is what I call the inside.
So we'll go ahead and throw those clips on. You want to make sure that the tang for the clip, right in there, goes toward the channel that the lens is actually going to be sitting in. And they just simply slide over the plastic tabs on the housing.
And you can go ahead and grab your roll of butyl. And I normally start at the lower corner, here. And just start unrolling it all the way around. You may have to stretch it out just a little bit to get it to fit down into the channel. That's fine.
And this stuff is very sticky, so take your time. Don't rush, because otherwise you'll just end up making a complete mess, which I have been known to do from time to time. And as this paper gets longer, you can tear off out of the way. That way, you're not fighting it the whole way around the lens. And when you come to a corner, just round it around.
And you'll notice around where the clips are at that butyl isn't tucking down completely in the channel, and that's fine, because whenever you set that lens into place, it will force that butyl in and around the clips so you have no leaks. That's why I put the clips on before the butyl.
And when you come up to your edge here, you just want tear off your remainder and then give yourself a little bit of a flattened edge on both sides. Tuck everything down in there. And then when you come up to your seam, just really make sure and marry those two together. That way, you have a completely sealed channel. Now you can take your lens. Kind of center it into position.
And then mash it on down. Don't press too hard, because you can break the lens, but you want to give it firm pressure all the way around to make sure that the lens fully engages the clips and then fully engages the butyl. All right. I'm not getting any more out of it.
So there you have it-- completely restored factory housing with our new LX lenses. Now, this same process will apply for any of the tail light lenses we sell. Again, the LX lenses are the only ones that include the butyl and the retaining clips. But we do have a kit that includes the butyl and retaining clips for all the other lenses that we sell.

Its growing popularity could mean big money for New York State. Leaders in the agricultural industry are working to capitalize on a new yogurt boom. Tamara Lindstrom has more.
ITHACA, N.Y. -- A time tested product is making a comeback in the U.S. "The marketplace has really boomed here for Greek yogurt in the last couple of years and there's certainly no sign of it slowing down," said Darrel Aubertine, NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets Commissioner. "In fact, indicators are that it could grow by 50 percent in the next few years." "Greek yogurt is so popular because it's a new product here in the United States. It's a product that's very, very smooth and actually higher in protein than other yogurts. So people see it as an opportunity for better nutrition," said Kathryn Boor, Dean of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University. Representatives from all sides of the industry met at Cornell University Thursday. They discussed ways to take advantage of a growing taste for yogurt and got a first look at the schools brand new dairy plant. It's where new yogurt will soon be developed.
"Farmers will be advantaged with the research and the production that takes place here at Cornell," Aubertine said. "A lot of what they're doing in research based and will help grow the demand for yogurt and hopefully other products as well."
Production will begin at the new plant sometime next year. Its open design will allow students and visitors to see exactly how the products are made.
"We are opening a dairy processing plant that will have floor to ceiling windows to enable consumers to stop by and any time and see how milk moves from the farm into the final consumer product, Boor said. "We are thinking of it as developing transparency in food systems."
Administrators hope the new Stocking Hall dairy complex will become a destination for visitors, where they can pick up some knowledge and fresh dairy products as well.

Walrus BoxPrice: $49.00
Design by Karl Zahn.
By Areaware.
This figural Walrus Box represents a 'power' animal - a totem for our individual ambition of wisdom. Its simple and gestural depiction is intentional - allowing the symbolism of the animal to be maintained. With the addition of hinges, it has the ability to guard important small objects. On the shelf, it is sculpture. On the side table, it's a totem. On the counter, it offers a hiding spot.
The designer's name is branded inside each box.
Eco Friendly
Material(s): Sustainably harvested new growth Beech wood
Dimensions: 6.5" x 3.5" x 3"
Designer: Karl Zahn
Karl Zahn studied Industrial Design at the Rhode Island School of Design with an emphasis on manufacturing and fabrication. Studying in Denmark in 2002 supported his love of handcraft and his own style reflects a danish modern sensibility. His work deals with materiality and explores the practical and emotional relationship we have with products in this increasingly complicated world that is driven by technology and fraught with environmental guilt.View other products by Karl Zahn

Diluting Black Business
There was even a business component to it. Title VI of this act says that the federal government and anyone receiving federal funding or benefitting from the federal government or being regulated by the federal government must not discriminate in their business practices. By the late 1970s, the implementation of this law began to be implemented. All levels of government (federal, state, county and local) had to show formal programs in their procurement activity. Most major corporations do some kind of business with the federal government and they, too, must comply. This gave birth to the Minority Supplier Development Council, which shows the federal government that its members have a program. It also gave birth to the Minority Business Development Agency. Nonprofits benefit from the IRS code and have to have a program if they have a procurement program.
By the mid-1980s, every state, large city, all agencies of the federal government and most major corporations had a formal program. At first, these programs would count the amount of business they were doing with Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and Native Americans. These groups received the collective name of "Minorities." The early years would show the federal government doing about 4 percent with Black business and less with each of the other groups. Resistance from White business groups started to emerge. The adversaries came up with a strategy: Put as many groups into these programs to dilute the potential for Black-owned firms. By 1987, White women-owned businesses entered into the federal programs. Then came veterans, disabled veterans, people with disabilities and Alaska Native Corporations. Of late, HUB Zone firms (based in historically under -utilized businesses). This had a very harmful effect on the development of Black business. Today, Blacks do no more than 1.5 percent with the federal government and 2 percent with major corporations. Some cities do less than that with a rare exception such as Atlanta, Houston and a few others.
Even though our numbers were low, White business representatives started suing cities and state for "reverse discrimination." Finally, the US Supreme Court stepped in via the Croson decision which applied to municipalities and the Adarand decision which covered states. Many thought this would be the end of development programs. Quite the contrary, these decisions explained how to do the programs properly.
Per the Supreme Court, it must be shown the level of discrimination for each group. These disparity studies tract the disparate impact, if any, for each group. Based on the study, goals are established for the discriminated group. Often these studies will show no disparity with women, Native Americans and sometimes with Hispanics and Asians. I have yet to find a bona-fide disparity study that shows no discrimination for Blacks. These studies are to be updated every five years. Disparity studies are good things and court proof. If your city, county, state has no study done, they are not in compliance with the law – Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Don't tolerate this!
Many state-run universities think they are exempt from this. They are nonprofit and under the supervision of the applicable state government. They must comply and either do their own disparity study or follow the state's study. They should be challenged.
San Diego did a solid study but were still sued by the Associated General Contractors of California. The suit had no standing as San Diego's process was correct and White contractors could prove no real damage. There are numerous lawsuits from time to time but if the entity has its program justified by a disparity study it will win – every time.
The problem we have is that there is no real enforcement of Title VI. Many will put the program in place but will not aggressively end the discrimination. Elected officials won't hold the procurement offices accountable. They must hold their feet to the fire. Finally, the only way these programs are going to work is if we, the people, get involved. Stop settling on mediocrity and end any proven discrimination. The person responsible for Title VI enforcement is the U.S. Attorney General. Don't hold your breath, get involved! Dr. King did not die for us to ignore this opportunity. •

Increasing the volume and quality of the Czech foreign aid is an ongoing process. The Czech Republic regards continuous increase of information provided to the professional and general public to be an integral part of this process. In accordance with the principle of transparency, the foreign aid program is open to all representatives of the Czech foreign aid platform, those representing other departments and institutions on the national, regional and local level as well as the representatives of NGOs, business community, union organisations, academic community, mass media, religious organisations and others. The principle of transparency and openness of public debate has been respected ever since the inception of this concept for the support of the professional and general public is essential for the long-term successful implementation of this program.
Public Relations
The main aim of public relations is to increase the awareness of the Czech public and its sense of solidarity with under-developed countries. In Stage 1 this task of informing the public will be carried out by the Development Centre as part of the Czech MFA and in Stage 2 this will be a responsibility of the Development Agency. The public relations activities may include, for example, publishing its own newspaper or magazine, organising seminars, conferences, open day events, maintaining its own web site and so on.
Development Training and Education
Development training and education is a complementary part of the Czech foreign aid program. Coordination and implementation of research and education in the area of foreign aid will be the task of the Development Centre, which will be for this purpose able to use capacities of the IIR. In providing training and education, the Development Centre (later the Agency) should cooperate closely with university (e.g. use the experience of the Palacky University in Olomouc with organising the Summer School of Foreign Aid and Cooperation). Universities, apart from training experts in the area of foreign aid and development in specialised courses in 'Development Studies', should also present foreign aid as multi-disciplinary subject.

I installed this cork in my bathroom 4 years ago. I love it. LOVE IT! Even on the coldest winter morning the floor is pleasantly warm & soft to bare feet. I've never understood what the big deal is about ceramic tile floors. Yes they are pretty but HARD and COLD. Everyone who sees my bathroom floor comments on its uniqueness and beauty. 4 years later it still looks brand new.
Best Uses
I had this cork installed in my bedroom last November. It took about a month or two for the "new" smell to diminish so I wanted to do the living room in the summer so I could leave windows open. I'm very sensitive to smells. Anyway, the bedroom floor is awesome! So easy to clean, warm to the touch - even when the house gets cool in winter. I really love the look of this cork as well. My son installed and really didn't have too much difficulty. Cutting the end pieces was the biggest challenge.
I layed Bellawood Premium underlayment on my concrete slab floors, and then the cork panels on that.

Best Uses
We recently remodeled our kitchen, dining area and living room. We decided on the Costelo cork flooring after seeing it in a home we looked at during our house hunt that HGTV had done a whole house crash on. It is beautiful and cleans like a dream. It's soft yet durable. We had reservations about using cork but not anymore. It is so unique and makes the whole house seem cozier. We love it!
Best Uses
We used the Castello Cork throughout our entire home. It has been installed for a year now. 1600sq ft. Yes even in the kitchen and parts of the bathroom. We are a pretty low use abuse house so I wasn't as worried about it getting beat up. There have been a few areas where heavy furniture has left compression divots. My greatest complaint about this product is color shifting/fading. I understand that over time there will be a color change but this is just over a year old and there are areas that you wouldn't think it was the same product anymore.
Service and delivery comments:
If you need to put something in right away this is not the product. It takes quite awhile for this product to be shipped.
Arrived in good shape though.
Best Uses
it's the floor in our office
Best Uses
We installed this in our dining room, and it looks fantastic. Hides dirt/dust well (with small kids), is walm to bare feet, and gorgeous to looks at. I am thinking of getting more and installing in kids' bedrooms.
Best Uses
Put this in our master bathroom. The install can be a little tricky -- make long 3/8" spacers and keep them in place or the "floating" floor will shift during installation. The pieces can be a little tough to get installed. You need to put them in at the correct angle, "persuade" them nice and tight together, then drop them flat. This gets fun on the final course. If one isn't provided, I recommend cutting a rabbit out of a block of wood the width of one piece that is the size and one of the tongues. You can use the block to put even pressure on the whole piece when you tap it in place with a mallet. If using in a bathroom, put several coats of poly down before regular use, especially on the seams.
Best Uses
Flooring for an entire one bedroom condominium.
it is quiet, easy to keep clean. Less stress on back and knees.
Best Uses
I am so impressed with this floor. Easy install, stunning to look at. I highly recommend this floor

AnswerBox - Get answers from Staff Experts and real customers by clicking "Ask a question"
or click here to ask our Customer Service Team
Q:What is the thermal or R-value of cork compared to carpet with pad. I am interested in installing this in a bedroom over a garage--would the floor be substantially colder than carpeted flooring? Also, is this not recommended for kitchen or bathrooms?
1 answer
A:Thermal resistance
Q:i was looking at the lisbon cork and wondering if its sealed or unsealed for moisture?
1 answer
A:Yes it is sealed but it still needs to be cared for properly, any wet spills need to be wiped up promptly.
Q:We installed the Lisbon cork floors as a floating floor - over ceramic tile and a water barrier. I have gaps between the tiles - some up to a good 1/8 of an inch and very few are closed tight. Is this normal? My friend did not use any type of tool to tap them together, would that help? I had to take the floor up due to water damage so I ordered more flooring and will have to put down again so any advice would be helpful.
1 answer
A:Please call our Tech and Installation Dept. @ (800) 366-4204 for a detailed answer to your question. Thank you for your inquiry.
Q:Is this product recommended for use in a bathroom?
1 answer
A:Due to the excessive moisture present in a full bath we cannot recommend any of our solid natural flooring, cork or laminate products for this application, I would suggest one of our vinyl Tranquility products. We have a 2mm peel and stick and now a 4 and 5mm click together products that can go in full bath areas or where moisture is a concern. Thank you for your inquiry.
Q:Is it recomennded or required to coat the floor with a polyeurethane sealer? if so what do you recommend? will it change the color of the floor?
1 answer
A:These products do not require additional coats of finish after installation. Thank you for your inquiry.
Q:I am interested in the Lisbon Cork flooring, but I saw in the MSDS sheet that it has a MUF binder in it. Does this product meet the California residential standard for formaldehyde?
1 answer
A:Yes, this is made with CARB compliant HDF Phase 2.
Q:Cork is a green product, but I am concerned about the chemicals used in the manufacturing process. Is this product rated for for VOCs and is formaldehyde used in or produced as a by-product of the manufacturing process?
1 answer
A:For complete MSDS information; Please go to our Website @ LumberLiquidators.com and at the bottom of the page click on Flooring 101, enter Lisbon floating cork MSDS , enter, then click on the PDF to open. Thank you for your inquiry.
Q:How large are the floor samples?
1 answer
A:This product question would be better answered by our Sales Department, they are more familiar with all of our flooring products and can better assist you with your questions.
Q:Can Lisbon cork flooring be used in a bathroom?
1 answer
A:Due to the excessive moisture present in a full bath we cannot recommend any of our solid natural flooring or laminate products for this application, I would suggest one of our vinyl Tranquility products. We have a 2mm peel and stick and now a 4 and 5mm click together products that can go in full bath areas or where moisture is a concern. Thank you for your inquiry.
Q:Is underlayment required or suggested or just a vapor barrier? Above grade over concrete slab with tile removed and second floor over wood base board with tiles remaining and covered by cork.
1 answer
A:This product has a layer of 1.8mm thin cork on the bottom and does not require additional padding. A 6 to 8 mil poly sheeting moisture barrier should be laid for floating floors for an On or Below Grade Concrete subfloor. Overlap seams 4-6" and tape with duct tape. Overlay perimeter 3-4" up wall. You can find complete installation instructions on the product page by clicking on the installation tab and then clicking on - Installation Guide.

Mods That Make No Sense
in General
This topic is for any kind of modification on a car that just doesn't make any sense to you. Maybe we can enlighten you, or maybe we'll all laugh at it together.
I'll start it off in the next post.
I'll start it off in the next post.
MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
No pix yet unless you want to check out the May 2005 issue of CARGO magazine, Page 103
It says:
"BLITZ Prius Turbo Kit"
This K2 turbo bumps HP from 76 to 130HP, and added to the 67 hp from the electric motor, gives you 197 HP (so says CARGO).
Okay! And we presume that doubling the horsepower might affect...um...fuel mileage?
So tell me again... why do you buy a pretty heavy, underpowered, top-heavy, gas-stingy hybrid electric car and then turbo-charge it?
Am I missing something? Or am I just an old-fashioned kinda guy?
Here's the website, but no product yet---article says:
"it will go into production if enough power-hungry hybridheads speak up."
MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
This just came up in SUVs and I was thinking the Prius was pretty light. Guess I'll have to go find the specs. :-)
[edit] - ok, the Prius Curb Weight is 2890 lbs. The 4 door Echo weighs in at 2105 lbs.
So yeah, you're right, it seems a bit nuts!
Steve, Host
Minivan fan. Feel free to message or email me - email@example.com.
You get a BIG turbo, one that'll give the Prius lots of high end power but with horrendous turbo lag... and the electric motor makes up for the lag! Perfect!
Ditch the eco-friendly tires, which no one will notice anyway. Set up a boost controller so that you can get good mileage when you want to, and good speed when you don't. Pick up racer chicks one day, hippy chicks the next.
You have to have be willing to overspend if you're getting a Prius in the first place, so that throws out the only disadvantage of this system. Otherwise it's the best of both worlds.
Well in a sense then you are building a completely different car than Toyota intended. Seems like you'd just wanna want for Toyota to come out with a small hi-po hatchback hybrid, like they are doing with their SUVs right now. Let them figure it out. I think a twin-turbo hybrid 5 door hatchback V-6 would be a very sweet car for a lot of people.
I agree, it would need better tires and better body roll control. The Prius handles like a piano.
MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
Now they may look cool but if you can lock your brakes today, then the bigger rotors aren't going to shorten your stopping distance unless you do something about the tires too. Case in point: the Saleen S281 Mustang comes with 14" slotted rotors (vs 12.4" on the Mustang GT) and 4 piston monoblock calipers plus performance tires and yet it took 9 more feet to stop than the standard GT. The Saleen would undoubtedly provide more fade-free stops in a racing situation but tht doesn't apply to most of us.
Yeah, I was thinking about that car! I used to have one and I fondly remember plowing through snowdrifts with chains on the front wheels.
braking distance --- my guess is that the Saleen used a larger tire----increasing tire size (diameter I mean) increases braking distance. Surprising how many people aren't aware of that phenomenon of automotive physics.
MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
Well... bigger wheels (diameter) generally mean wider tires (width). That way the volume of air within the tire is the same. Wider tires have more grip and will decrease braking distance.
The ideal combination is a small-diameter and wide wheel, but in handling and braking the width is more important than diameter.
eharri3 Posts: 645Ohh I've got a long list. Don't have any good pics as of right now but I'll keep my eyes peeled. After all, I am in Philly, the 'Pointlessly modified ghetto hoopdie' capital of the east coast. I imagine there will be photo ops sooner rather than later if I keep my camera phone at the ready.
#1) Cheap plastic spinner hub cabs, 14.99 apiece from Pep boys. Silly, just plain silly.
#2) 90 hp Toyota Tercels or Corollas with exhaust and intake.
#3) I have scene a Crown Vic in my apartment complex on stock wheels and tires, stock ride height, but with a huge rear wing, body-kit, and cheap PEp Boys Chrome molding plastered all over it.
#4) Window tint so deep you have to roll down your windows at night to see when backing up.
5) 60 thousand dollar luxury SUVs with Brush guards, steel tail light guards, and other heavy off roading equipment, some of which also come with 22 inch wheels and 45 series tires because we all know how crucial they are to a complete off-road package..
7) 200$ car with 2000$ stereo so powerful that if it is played to loudly pieces of the vehicle fall off.
8) Pickup trucks with spoilers on the hard tonneau covers.
9) TV screens on the rear headrests that are in use while there are no rearseat passengers in the vehicle.
10) 4000 dollar rims on a 11 year old 200 dollar car. Why not just buy a nicer car with the 4000 dollars?
11) This little yellow big-rig inspired cab-clearance lights on tiny S10s and Ford Rangers whose rooves would never scrape anything anyway.
12) A bug deflector on the front of a pickup. I confess, I do have one, and I think they look cool. But is 3 inches of plastic on the very edge of my hood supposed to really protect it from stones and rocks on the highway?
13) Spoilers or wings of any kind on any pickup truck, but especially on big, lifted, fat-tired off-road ones..
oldfarmer50 Posts: 6,813What would it take to mod a 95 Lincoln Mark VIII from base status up to a LSC? The only difference I'm certain of is going from single to true dual exhaust. I think the LSC had different gear ratios as well. Any specific engine or suspension mods required?
Would it even make sense to try seeing the modest (10hp) bump?
2009 PT Cruiser, 2008 Eclipse, 1995 Mark VIII, 1988 GMC Van

Day 1 Arrive San José
Our G Adventures Pass Costa Rica is the best way to explore Costa Rica. A G representative will meet you at the airport with your arrival information package and will remain just a phone call away for the duration of your stay.
Day 2-4 Cahuita/Puerto Viejo
Arrive in San José at any time, you will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel. There are no planned activities, so enjoy the city. Located in the central highlands, San José enjoys a moderate climate. The heat and humidity of the coast and lowland areas may affect you, with a general sense of lethargy and/or loss of appetite. This is no cause for alarm; it is simply your body's reaction to the heat. Be sure to drink plenty of water (bottled water is available everywhere) and do not attempt too much in any given day. We prefer fan-cooled rather than air conditioned rooms to avoid having to acclimatize to the heat and humidity every time you go outside. This is also a more eco-friendly approach. Like most cities, San José has its good and bad sides. It is the centre of government, theatre, and art, as well as of air pollution and congestion. It has beautiful parks and museums, and a few beggars on the streets. It is big and often noisy, but even from its crowded downtown streets, you'll often enjoy a view of the surrounding lush mountains. Start your exploration of the city in the main plaza, a great place to people-watch. A mime, juggler, marimba band, magician, or storyteller may be performing for whatever is collected when the hat is passed. Artisan booths are common, creating a regular arts and crafts fair atmosphere. A source of pride for the ticos (as Costa Ricans are known) is the National Theatre. Inaugurated in 1897, the building was paid for by coffee growers through a voluntary tax on every bag of coffee exported. The National Museum, housed in the Bellavista Fortress, offers exhibits on pre-Columbian art, colonial art and furniture and religious art within a 19th Century building that was converted from a military fortress after the army was abolished. The Museum of Costa Rican Art, located in La Sabana Park, was once the international airport; the museum is now housed in the old terminal building. The Jade Museum is on the 11th floor of the Instituto Nacional de Seguros building. In addition to the marvellous collection of jade objects, there are pre-Columbian ceramic and stone works as well as displays with archaeological and ethnographic information. The Gold Museum is located underneath the Plaza de la Cultura. Its spectacular collection of indigenous gold art belongs to the Central Bank of Costa Rica. The best and least expensive places to buy souvenirs in San José are the markets. The two main ones are the ones in Plaza de la Demorcracia, which is an outdoor open market, and the Central Market, where handicrafts are sold along with boots, fish, flour, herbal remedies, shirts and everything else you can imagine. Always watch your belongings and be ready for crowds. If you plan on spending a few days in San José after your tour, there are a number of activities within the city and area that you can participate in, many of them outdoors. Probably the hardest thing you will do in San José, other than get safely across busy streets, is keep the street numbering systems straight. Street and avenue numbers are posted on buildings at the corners of some intersections. Keep looking as you walk, and you will eventually find one. NOTE: Like any city where tourism is on the increase, crime also tends to increase and while San José is not a noticeably dangerous city, there are certain precautions you should take. Make sure that you are aware of your things at all times and don't go out carrying expensive gear or jewellery.
Day 5-6 La Fortuna
Hop on the adventure bus at approximately 8.30am for your transfer to your hotel in Cahuita or Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean Coast. Begin with an incredible bus ride over the mountains to the Caribbean coast. The picturesque village of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca's 14 kilometers of incomparable white and black sand beaches are surrounded by exotic tropical vegetation. Rent a bike or hire a boat to Manzanillo, and hike to Monkey Point through the Gandoca - Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge. Try snorkelling or take it easy and and explore La Isla Botanical Gardens. Rent a boogie board if the waves are calling, dance the night away to reggae and calypso, taste flavourful Afro-Caribbean cuisine, and succumb to the natural beauty of this tropical paradise. This area of Costa Rica was quite isolated until a road was built a only a couple of decades ago, and it still hasn't lost its charm.
Day 7-9 Guanacaste
Hop on the adventure bus at approximately 8am for your transfer to your hotel in the town of La Fortuna, located at the foot of the Arenal Volcano. La Fortuna is an excellent base for adventure. Hike the area's nature trails, swim in chilly La Fortuna waterfall or join a canopy tour and catch a bird's-eye view of the forest greenery. Other optional activities include full-day white water rafting on the Toro or Arenal Rivers, mountain biking, caving, horseback riding, or a tour of the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge. Like much of Costa Rica, the area is a birders' paradise, with over 600 species as permanent residents. Finally, after a long day of exploring, take a relaxing soak in the lush, cascading hot springs of Tabacón Resort. Soak in one of the natural thermal baths and rivers under the shade of the surrounding canopy. Set on the northern plains of Costa Rica, Arenal Volcano sits on the southeast shore of artificial Lake Arenal (77 square kilometres, or 48 square miles). Separating the mountain ranges of Guanacaste and Tilarán, the lake was created by a hydroelectric dam. Winds sweeping off the Caribbean Sea reach speeds of 48 to 72 km/hr (30 to 45 mph), making Arenal one of the best windsurfing destinations in the world. The volcano, once quite active, has been in a dormant state since the beginning of 2011 but still is a dramatic backdrop to the town of La Fortuna. During the day, its reflection on Lake Arenal is truly enchanting.
Day 10 San José
Hop on the adventure bus at approximately 9am for your transfer to the hotel of your choice on the beautiful beaches of Guanacaste on the Pacific coast. One of the major beach destinations in Costa Rica, Guanacaste is home to the beaches of Tamarindo, Coco, Ocotal, and Flamingo. Guanacaste's beaches are the best in the country for swimming and one of the best in the world for sunsets, with a perfect western exposure. Some beaches are a dark volcanic sand, except for Flamingo, which is a soft white sand. Behind the beaches are lush tropical forests ideal for day walks or horseback riding. Like other beach destinations in Costa Rica an abundance of water sports and adventure activities are available to book locally.
Day 11 Depart San José
Hop on the adventure bus at approximately 2.30pm for your transfer back to your San José hotel. Enjoy one last night on the town.
