About this blog

Well, the weather here has gone south, so we will too! We are going back to Central America. We will post photos and notes covering our journey, as we find time and internet access.

We begin in Panama City, then fly up to David in the mountainous NW. Then we will fly out to Contadora Island, in the Archipeligo de las Perlas. On December 17th, we will fly north to Managua, Nicaragua where we will begin a 7 week tour of the country, it's colonial cities, volcanoes, huge lake, and beaches.

Feel free to post commets, but be aware that they are all public, so all can see them. I will attempt to post hotel info that may help fellow travelers.

I hope you have a good winter, great holiday season. See you next year. Tom and Barbara
