| Leaving on a jet plane – at ABIA aka the last time D will wear that jacket before sending it home with fam in January from Costa Rica |
Nickle Tour: Damon and I left Austin on December 6th and headed for Nicaragua. The flight was cheap $300 one-way each through Miami to Managua, the capital city.
Travel Tip: If you’re headed anywhere in Central or South America and concerned about the price, try booking straight from Miami to your destination and then book your domestic travel seperately to Miami – it’s almost always cheaper.
See: ??? We had heard that Managua was meh, and we were eager to get to the Corn Islands so we got off the plane, took the 5 minute hotel shuttle to the hotel for the night. We arrived at 10:30pm and we’re out the door by 5am to buy plane tickets to the Corn Islands.
Sleep: 1 night, $80, Camino Real Hotel – It’s a fine hotel and would be a nice place to hang (AC, TV, pool, casino, etc), if you like hanging out at hotels. The main attraction was the proximity to the airport and safety in Managua – which can be unsafe.
Eats: For our late-night meal after the long flight, we ate at the hotel restuarant, which had HUGE portions.
