OK... it is almost surreal that we reached our turnaround point today!! We have literally planned this for over a year and exhausted every scenario that could occur in which we would not be able to make it here...tropical storms, hurricanes, mudslides, injuries, bike breaking down etc . I think you get the picture! But we have been so lucky and everything has just been great! OK our gear is damp, mildewed and we are pretty STINKY after a day on the bike, but we are here and nothing major has ...
Panama, Panama jessandmalinThe final stop! Casco Viejo today, the Canal tomorrow, and then home! What a trip. IŽll flesh out these entries a bit when I get home and am not paying by the hour at some slow-as-molasses internet cafe. Update from home: We crossed the Bridge of the Americas on our way into Panama City. That afternoon, it was off to the old city, Casco Viejo, home to a variety of historic buildings and and a variety of sculptures and statues celebrating Panamanian history. The next day, we had our group depa...
Panama city, Panama meezermanNow, it was onto the 2 week tour. We met up with the GAP Tour group in San Jose, Costa Rica for a couple of weeks going overland down to Panama City. For us it meant the brain wouldn't need to be very engaged for a bit- someone else could do the translation and thinking for a while. We didn't really know what to expect, but the group of people itself was great and most had been together for 6 weeks already doing the whole of Central America from Mexico- this was their last leg. One surprise w...

Somewhere in, Panama dejavuinvest... may not be perfect, but it sure as **** was the most serene, gorgeous, secluded and exotic I have ever been to. Shallow turquoise water blended into a deep azure blue, which we headed towards with our snorkels to drift over a shipwreck. I have snorkeled in a few places, more well known places, but I have never seen the variety of fish that I saw over that shipwreck. Colors I didn't know existed in nature were painted on fish ...
Panama City, Panama ferrisbueller... 250,000! The Metropolitano Park is a 265 hectare national park that lies within Panama City's limits. I thought it was really cool that there is a national park within Panama's Captial city. This park is home to an amazing amount of wildlife including but not limited to titi monkeys, anteaters, sloths, turtles, iguanas and tortoises. The forest is really dense and the trails are quite narrow so it was difficult to spot the animals ...
Panama City, Panama allisonakemi... are slowly being renovated. It is a really nice place to stroll around in the daytime...not a place for gringos at night. As if to reinforce the idea that there are some places in Panama City to be cautious, we passed a tangle of police and news crews on our drive back to our hotel. The focus of their attention was an SUV with three bullet holes in the windshield. We heard from some of the locals that organized crime violence is increasing in ...
Panama City, Panama travelshrew... with a multi pastel border about 4 feet up from the floor, big orange tiles at the top except where they ran out of tile and filled in with black, and a blue shower curtain. The room was painted Pepto Bismol pink with heavy green brocade drapes. There were always the tiniest ants on the counter tops. 1st class! I left early this morning on the bus for Panama City to meet up with Michael. The road to David is interesting with dry brush, savannah, much ...
Panama City, Panama lstoneham... A world of our own. We do have momentary reminders of the real world. The ship showed both of the Football Playoff Games on the room TVs and several of the lounges. It is nice to watch a game and have catered food and drinks. But that was over shortly and we were back to our own world of the world cruise. After dinner we when to the show, it was a British Comedian that performed magic. It was mostly funny, but all British Humor. I even was asked to help with the straight ...
Panama Canal, Florida, Panama danharrietIn comparison to the rest of our trip, Panama seemed like a sort of nothing layover. It's been anything but that. The Central American vibe, I should say Panamanian vibe, is noticeable from the second you get off the plane. The air is more humid, and the landscape is jungle. The Panama City skyline is right along the pacific coast and en route from the airport I counted over 25 different high-rise apartments/office buildings currently being built ...
