Our time is going by so quickly. We have now been here in Panama three months! How can that be? And we are still visiting new spots and finding out more and more about this beautiful place. I did not intend this to be a travel blog but hoped instead to create stories that document …

Valle Anton
Our two-day car adventure was nice. The road to Colon was not bad at all – getting out of Panama City however was insane. There are so many cars here—we think at least one-third of them are taxis. Traffic jams going and coming are a daily reality. On this day Google Maps had us switch …
Bocas del Toro by Bike
We had agendas for our two full days in Bocas del Tora. First day, we rented bicycles and headed to Star Beach. Everyone, I mean everyone said ohhhh, that road is long; it is rocky and it rolls up and down. I had read that while the road to Star Beach is challenging it could …

THE AGONY OF CREATING A BLOG SITE
I should have taken a course before I began this endeavor to create my own site. I’m telling you it is hard. There is nothing intuitive about it. I have listened to tutorials. I have Googled. I have done the old tired and true . . . winging it. I have had numerous CHAT sessions. …
What made us do it?
Homebound during the pandemic led us to begin research on retirement communities where we might end up . . . in our minds, someday far in the future. We want to choose the community ourselves and avoid our children from having to face this emotional, stressful chore. Several months were spent visiting one or two …
