Costa Rica out, Corn Islands in

[dixietraveller]

CDNN just gave a favorable (not surprisingly) write-up on the increasing attraction of the Corn Islands for tourists.

"This is the way you picture island resorts looking 50 years ago. . . . High-end amenities include hot water, 24-hour electricity and $11 lobster dinners. . . . 'You come to Big Corn, away from the crowds, pull up a lounge chair, and there are two people on the beach, not 4,000 like the rest of Central America,' said Richard Hewson, 52, from the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. 'You've got your bottle of rum, a Caribbean view. You're in paradise, man.'"

The Corn Islands are now officially in. The advance team of the Italian version of "Survivor" is installed in Arenas Beach Hotel on Big Corn Island. They are building sets for the show, drinking high test expresso, and driving around in new 4x4 Hilux trucks doing "very important things" at very high speed. They are in the process of renting virtually all of the rooms on Big Corn Island, including many private houses. It is a tremendous economic boost for a deeply wounded fishing economy.
For those of us who like to visit or send guests over unplanned. Think twice and call around for air and lodging space as they will have over 120 people working as of the 30th of January for at least the next three months.
