[David · Rating 3 out of 5]

I've been disappointed with the Moon travel book I bought for Costa Rica, it seems made for people with more money. Thats too bad because the author Christopher P. Baker wrote the book I used in Cuba and like a lot. I grabbed this one from the office, and I remember liking it more even though its dated, but I don't remember why anymore.
