AWAY TRIPS: Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama

[Admin]

Ok... so, shipping is done and as promised now working on the away trips. 

First, we need an idea of numbers. It is very important to respond here as we need to secure tickets ahead of time and plan for any logistics required.  8 people is not the same as 80. 

As this progresses, we will break the trips out into separate threads.

I voted CR, but it will be very much contingent on the travel environment at the time.  If it happens it would be me and my fam for a total of 4 people.  

[Califax]

Costa Rica is the only possibility. Probably 2 of us. contingent on vacation approval.

 

[Bene11]

I am probably going to either one of Honduras or El Salvador

[JB1515]

Already have plane tickets and hotel for Costa Rica.  Would be 3 of us

Very much interested in Costa Rica. Panama is a maybe, but probably leaning more to just Costa Rica.

Would just be me, so any other solo travelers willing to split, let me know.

Costa Rica and Panama for 2 people unless the Xth wave derails things.

I’ll be going to all 4 games

[EJsens1]

I really hope to go to the Costa Rica game.  Like most, travel restrictions will be a huge factor.  If we have to quarantine on the way back and by then I’ll have had my booster, there’s no way I’m taking that chance and missing out on the Jamaica game 

[Admin]

Costa Rica will be big.  100+ people for sure, maybe hundreds more if we promote it. 

 

[gator]

Costa Rica is the one I'm looking at and as mentioned in the other thread I will probably spend a week at Jaco Beach, at this time it is just me!

Going to be watchin from the comfort of my own home

Possibly 6 to both CR and Panama. 
Trying to conceal a siblings trip with my brothers, sister in law, sister and my wife. 

Everybody’s down to go, they just don’t know about the games part - surprise lol.

We will call this the Reverse Montez Award.

I’m surprised there isn’t more chatter of Panama being definite based on the potential stakes of that game.

Sorry mate, we'll be qualified by then. 

 

(And if we're not, I'll be in my basement alone 'watching-not watching' the game through a knitted blanket with holes in it trying not to throw up.) 

[JamboAl]

Beginning of September: I would be happy having to get a point in Panama to automatically qualify

Now: We better not need a point in Panama to automatically qualify.

You sir are violating the laws of Physics (CONCACAF Physics)

Stop it, or you will break the universe.

If you can find one near you, I would highly recommend a watch party at a pub. Much more fun with other people wearing Canada gear.

 

[Califax]

This is going to be a big dumb question but: Where are we likely playing Jamaica? It will heavily impact Costa Rica planning.

Any chance that game is in Toronto? Montreal?

[Olympique_de_Marseille]

At this point I'd put my odds of going to El Salvador at 60%.

I'd like to go to one of Costa Rica / Panama but it depends on the time off I can get an where this March match will be.

I'll take that under advisement

I hate counting chickens... but I think it will depend on what happens in the January Window.

I'm also a solo traveller interested in Costa Rica, dependent upon vacation approval, local commitments, and the Covid environment.  If I have to fork out an additional $275 each way for a PCR test then it's not likely I'll go.  But if my proof of vaccination is good enough and the rest of the stars align, then I'm on board.
