Crowne Plaza Hotel Panama Panama City

... morning we were up early and after breakfast went out to check on boat trips for the day. So obviously we were up too early, as most places were still closed, mind you it was 8.30am. Finally found one place and he had a trip that day with two other guys going, $30 each. So we signed up for that. We went back to the hotel and got our gear and organised a late check out and left about 9.30am.The other two were from Holland and very funny. First stop was Dolphin Bay , guaranteed to see ...

... By far my favorite part of this trip was talking to fellow travelers and exchanging stories. When asked where I was traveling to, or how long I was traveling for, I was proud to respond; "I'm doing a 'round the world trip for 6 months." For once in my life, I was the person in the room with one of coolest stories. After a few days on those idyllic islands that dreams are made of, I can proudly say - Who needs electricity anyway?

... On Sunday we went up towards Colon to a place called Isla Grande on the Carribean side. Lush tropical settings meant you could have mistaken this for anywhere - Thailand, Cuba...anywhere with palm trees and turquoise water :)<br>On the drive up we went through a town called Portobelo, which used to be a fort protecting Panama from pirates. There were old ruins of a fortress wal and cannons, looked ...

... half an hour by the police, guys playing soccer, a taxi driver and three people in the street that I was stupid and the area wasnt safe. Managed to get a few ok photos though. Trying to take some different styles of photos from now on. Allan (My brother for those that dont know the kid) sent me a rather aggresive e-mail about my photos and using my camera properly. What he doesnt understand is that half the time you are in a ghetto, or people ask you for money as soon as you ...

... I again opted for the ceviche for starters followed by a great burger and fries. Everything everyone ordered was muy delicioso. We got everyone's email adresses so we can stay in touch. Randy and I then moved on to TGI Fridays. We have hit one in every country we have been in (that has one) and since that is where we met we had to make time for this one since it is our honeymoon. Ireland, Spain ...

... my students said that her grandfather (long-passed) who she was named after sailed his own boat through the canal, and often talked about how exciting it was. She was excited that she was traveling in his path. Matthew and his students gave a MICE concert as we were traveling through. They played most of the pieces they'd performed this semester, as well as a few composed by MICE students. It was a crowded house, and everyone really ...

... surfkiting 2t fra Pan. city!!! Dette er en krevende vannsport hvor man maa vaere ultrataalmodig foer man kommer til maalet! Instroktoren ble ikke sa veldig imponert da Live aapnet kurset med foelgende sporsmaal: " Is it safe to camp here?" "hoh??" "Yeah, there are ...

... the movie and the museum. We lucked out with our timing because a cruise ship and a large container ship happened to be entering Miraflores at the time we arrived. The museum is interesting and modern but I expected more history and less scale models. The movie is 10 minutes long and educational and the theater is big and comfortable. They could easily show longer movies here, it's nice. We ...
