We have just returned from a little vacation from our life of vacation. We looked at the Tropic Air flight choices, and basically, one of the few direct flights from Belize was Panama City, Panama. Whit and I have both always wanted to see the Panama Canal, so there you go. It might surprise you to know that to get to most places in South and Central America by plane, you actually have to fly BACK to the US! Crazy…
Anyway, our trip was FABULOUS. I highly recommend Panama to anyone looking for an “off the beaten path” vacation. It’s a gorgeous combination of sophisticated city, majestic Pacific coastline, and laid back Caribbean beaches. Since we’ve basically been living the “laid back Caribbean” life, we planned our stops in the city. We could have used a few more days to see everything we wanted to see!

Stay tuned for “Panama” the movie! Written and directed by yours truly!
Looking forward to the movie. I’d love to see your travel itinerary to Panama and recommendations for hotels to stay. Love that you took a vacation from your vacation.
See you next month! Jen

Stephen and I both enjoyed the movie. Brought back lots of memories of our 2 yrs. there. And the funny thing is I never knew the words to the song said, “Panama”. Always thought, on the rare occasion I listened to *that* kind of music, it was “animal”. Ha!
