Places: Panama City David Boquete Portobello Places seen: Panama Canal and watching the ships go from Pacific to Atlantic through Gatun and Miraflores Volcan Baru climb Boquete coffee tour Casco Viejo Amador Causeway Ruins of Portobello Fort Panama Viejo Bridge of the Americas School of the Americas - old training ground for many dictators/strongmen in the 60s-80s ex-Mossack Fonseca offices Noriega's hiding spots near the Vatican embassy Biomuseo Bahai temple Bayano caves Attempted drive to the Darien Gap with Colombia, but was turned back Scuba diving Total Budget: 5K Travel Type: Solo Fun: 1 - gorgeous Spanish redhead (met at the immigration line at Tocumen) with impeccable style, amazing sense of adventure, matching music/movies taste and the kind of laugh that fills a room with guys tripping over each other to be with her. Our rental SUV got stuck on a farm outside Portobello when furiously doing it in the seats as it rained around us. The wheels got stuck on the mud - had to run the farmhouse to borrow a shovel to dig around the wheels to build a ramp (she helped). During diving, every guy came up to me and shook my hand on how lucky I was to have her with me, while the women (reporter from NYC) scowled and sulked. The usual mutual promises to meet in some foreign field on a faraway island, but part of me knows that ill likely never see her again. Sigh, I am probably just going to solve this by ploughing some giggling receptionist who laughs at my jokes. Accommodations: 3/4/5 star hotels with good wifi Transport: Self-drive car, flights, tabbing on my own feet Work-Life Balance Easy - like working US central or eastern times Visa Type: not needed Gear: 1 backpack with laptop etc 1 duffel with climbing, scuba gear # of photos: 200+ Previous posts Colombia - https://www.teamblind.com/post/zcw8m6Fc?cid=23587530 Turkey, Egypt - https://www.teamblind.com/post/[AMA]-5-months-across-Turkey-Egypt-bzEQpepF East Africa - https://www.teamblind.com/post/[AMA]-2-months-across-East-Africa-k07npMcK Morocco - https://www.teamblind.com/post/OGpeSyF0?cid=22545079 Mexico - https://www.teamblind.com/post/[AMA]-2-months-in-Mexico-E7wVEQib General - https://www.teamblind.com/post/[AMA]-remote-worktravel-during-covid-lockdown-i3SSTGCr
