I took a trip to Nicaragua in the summer of 2004 for just about a month. Best money/time I ever spent. Met some really cool people and got to see a whole different culture and style of living. Plus I got to see a lot of the Nicaraguan countryside, which was very beautiful. It was just an amazing trip. It really was an adventure for me. I went there with a guy I had just met, and neither of us spoke Spanish.
A couple of funny/scary moments involved being on a ferry that almost sank in the middle of a lake, being on an outboard fishing boat that almost sank in the ocean, talking our way onto property that was guarded by armed men, getting almost beaten up by a local who had too much to drink, getting searched and interrogated at a military checkpoint and one time when I thought I was going to get beaten up by a bouncer, but he really only wanted my two glass beer bottles.
