Never have I laughed, smiled, enjoyed good company and enjoyed life as much as I did this past weekend in Costa Rica. I am officially in love with this country and with my friends that live there. I am even more in love with Wager Profits, one of the friendliest, most sincere and most promising affiliate programs in the industry. Walking into the Wager Profits office was such a welcoming experience and spending a weekend in Tamarindo with Kate, Wager Profits' Affiliate Director and Diego, one of her affiliate managers, was a treat beyond explanation.

Newport, Rhode Island, a fun little beach town located less than 1.5 hours drive from my apartment in Boston, MA. How many times have I been? Once. This past weekend. San Jose, Costa Rica, a vibrant, online gaming filled city located in Central America. How many times have I been? Six. Returning on Thursday for trip number seven.

I am in withdrawal. Maybe you think it's sad, maybe you think it's pathetic, perhaps I need to reevaluate my personal life, but it's the truth. Here I am in Boston, my "home", stuck in between trips...Vegas has come and gone, and now Costa Rica is seven days away. Do you ever feel the same way? Wondering how to mangage this type of withdrawal? Here are some suggestions off the top of my head.

As I have stated in the past, the fabulous "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" phrase applies to Costa Rica visits and even to the Grinkos, Canadians and Swedes that live there. I cannot even tell you the number of times a statement was preceded with, "This is off the record, but...", and the number of times that I was forbidden to share any of my stories with Jenny (I know! I don't get it either!). See why this was my seventh trip to Costa Rica in 1.5 years? Now you get it, don't you...

So here we go again. I'm going back to Costa Rica for Memorial Day weekend, and I know what you are thinking…What? Are you kidding? Why? Do you ever work? Where's Jenny? The truth is I absolutely love Costa Rica and all my online gaming contacts that live there. Oh yes, and the whore houses too. This time around I am going for fun, on my own dime, and with zero conferences to attend, thank god. Of course I'll be with online gaming friends and talking business roughly 90% of the time, but what can you do.

So here we go again. I'm going back to Costa Rica on Friday, and I know what you are thinking...What? Are you kidding? Why? Do you ever work? Where's Jenny? Ok, ok, let me cut to the chase and answer all your questions for you.
