We decided to spend the month of February in Panama this year! Every February since we met has been spent out of the country, this is our tradition for Valentine's Day as a couple. We started our journey in Albuquerque New Mexico flew to Houston with and after short layover then made our way to Panama City! We spent two days in Panama City, we stayed in a hostel call my home in Panama located in the El Dorado District. It was a great little place very clean, & a small breakfast was included i.e. cereal and banana with coffee or toast and eggs. (they only have warm water so be prepared) Directly across the street there is a supermarket 99 which is great for restocking your supplies. A block or so after street towards the Alamo rental car place there is a restaurant called El Mision de Pardo which was still vicious I would eat there again with out a doubt! We visited the typical tourist attractions: Panama Canal, Cosco Viejo & Carnavales, which were worth doing once :-) The malls and the city are enough Norments I did not make it to the metro mall, however Allbrook is pretty good. ( & is also aware you pick up the cheap buses to take you around the country) Taxis are pretty cheap in the city but you have to negotiate. If you have the time and money for a really nice meal I recommend Restaurant Jimmy...get the beef tenderloin or the Greek salad! (We also had the Sanchoco and Snapper which were great too! I've got to run for now but keep your eyes out for the next post "the road to Bocas del Torro"
We hear so many people putting off travel, saying they are waiting until they get the promotion, get married, have X number of dollars in the bank...the kids are older and the list goes on! The reality is though that life doesn't wait! It's happening right now while you are waiting for the perfect time! The value to your life that travel will bring canno't be fully understood until you have experienced it! Our advice...find a way to make it happen and let your life begin!
