Hi Guys,
Just wanted to post and let you guys know I will be leaving for Nicaragua tomorrow. Not sure if anyone else has been there before and has travel tips. It sounds pretty cool, similar environment to Costa Rica which was my previous favorite place I visited.
I will post photos and updates as I can, I don't know much about Nicaragua but Em pretty excited, we have done pretty solid preparations, vaccinations, packing etc.
Will be there for only two weeks so not an epic trip but we wont be doing a resort we will be adventuring in the rainforest, islands and beaches.
Most worried about the myriad diseases, parasites and viruses and bacteria in the jungles, especially Malaria.
Going with my wife and will be meeting up with two good couple friends in Nicaragua on the latter half of the trip. Going to be about a week of adventuring and a week of beach chillaxiing, or maybe a bit less then a week on the beach.
Will be in the city of Grenada, the Corn Islands, Ometepe Island, etc. Going rappelling down a waterfall, hiking and camping in the jungle, and maybe some ocean swimming or something, not sure, we have a lot planned.
Not going to smoke weed or anything there because the drug laws are sketchy so going to enjoy a last few joints before I go.
Anyways I always like to post my travels, been a few years since I last went anywhere, so far been to Costa Rica, Mexico, Thailand, Dominican Republic, Trinidad, Tobago, Tennessee, Los Angeles, New York, British Columbia and a few places in Canada.
Love you guys hope you have a great two weeks, I will post updates when I can.
If anyone has general or specific travel tips I would be grateful!

Also please feel free to post your own travel stories or anything on those lines!

Awesome can you tell me anything about it, any tips of things to avoid?
I read some horror stories about weed and prison in nicaragua so I wont risk it personally but its awesome you got to smoke.
I am crazy paranoid about drugs overseas but I have managed to do some in a few places but these days I will not risk it.
Be drinking, have my ativan script and will have kratom.

well, if you've been to costa rica it shouldn't really be that much different in terms of what to avoid, you know? go to san juan del sur if you can. never been myself but i've had a few friends say they had an awesome time there. apparently it's a good place to surf if you're into that. there's a lot of shit to see in nicaragua (like anywhere), just go to a couple bars and ask around, there usually flyers and some bars have boards with all kinds of stuff to do. never had a problem with malaria haha.

And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
