Expedition to the Panama Canal

It is Sunday morning. The night before is off-and-on loud, but I sleep soundly due to too much vino tinto y sangria on Friday night. The morning is leisurely, stretching into the early afternoon. We are on our devices, a bit of work, a bit of browsing. We say goodbye to new friends Ramak, Melissa and Felix – they are …

Casco Viejo, Panama City

Omar picks us up, ten minute cab ride to the Old Town of Panama City. The residential Presidential sits large and white on the edge of the raised town, overlooking the rapidly growing skyline, skyscrapers pushing ever taller in this financial hub. There’s the Trump Tower with its iconic sail, over there the Revolution Tower with its iconic twist, a …

We are picked up in a Jeep by one of …

The Pipeline Trail in Baja Mono

I complete a conference call, finish up a couple to-do’s, strap on my Keen sandals and grab my camera. Oscar’s white Suzuki van pulls up in front of our apartment, “Hello Friend!” emblazoned on the side. We greet him, pile in, head north towards the mountains. The road winds, gains elevation, dogs mosey into the street, kids in school uniforms …

Images from the Dolphin Bay Preserve

We leave Boquete tomorrow. I find myself catching up on processing images taken in Bocas Del Toro over a week ago. This happened to me in Europe – I gave up posting four days into a month-long trip. I add blogging to my task management application. I commit to myself, I share my commitment with Ali Sun. I take a …

The call of the forest…Boquete, Panama

The nature spirits swirling around in my cup of cafe mocha, one sunny blissful afternoon, in the middle of a jungle, on Bastimentos Island, invoked a magical spell upon me. While enjoying chocolate truffles and stimulating conversations with friends, I felt the first call of the cloud rainforest of Boquete. Arriving by boat to the main island, on our way …

Adventures of Dolphin Bay Preserve

We set sail for Dolphin Bay Preserve one rainy and stormy day. Choppy waters abound as we bounce from wave to wave upon Ponti’s boat taxi. Tyler and I have been looking forward to this adventure the whole trip and it is our last day here on the islands. Heather is excited to share this land with us as it …

Bocas Del Toro Birthday and the Ping Pong Table

Happy Birthday, Heather!  I stay back to work, hand-wash some laundry, pick up a fish sandwich at Bibi’s On The Beach.  Ali Sun and friends go to Starfish Beach.  I miss out on an adventure here and there, but I need to retain the discipline of working while we travel. Waiting at the bar, I look east towards Solarte and …

On the way to Starfish Beach

It’s Heather Rose’s birthday and she decides on Starfish Beach for our adventure today. It appears to be a good beach day, so we gather our things and make our way towards the boat taxi. Once arriving to Bocas by boat taxi, we could either take a bus or pay a few extra dollars for our own taxi. We see …
