    Hi there.

    My name is Rob Brown, however when attempting to introduce myself in Panama, they did not understand.
    Rob or Bob did not register. Roberto got an immediate response.
    Brown? Forget it - Brown does not translate well in Spanish - so I am now called Roberto Chocolaté.

    I am a writer. My wife and I investigated retirement destinations for five years, discovering that many websites were simply fronts for real estate salespeople.

    We decided to check it out ourselves and drove - along with our two big dogs from Picton, Ontario to Panama.

    12,123 kilometers, 18 border crossings - checking out 26 retirement destinations along the way. I chronicled the trip on my website: http:/www.retirementdetectives.com - in an article called The Epic Journey.

    Now that we are living full time in Panama (since 2007) we write about living and enjoying Panama.
    I was the travel columnist for The Panama Star until it closed last September. (I hope it wasn't my writing).
    I look forward to these discussions on The Forum.
    Roberto

    Thanks Becky

    I appreciate your kind words. I enjoy writing, and this is an exciting outlet. Panama has so many stories... some stranger than fiction. RC

    Looks like an interesting site, Rob.

    I'll have to read more this weekend.

    Cheers from another Cdn (lots lately introducing themselves in the forum, but I'm not in Panama yet)..

    Not sure if this post got posted - had a connection problem on the internet (Welcome to Panama) All Candians are invited to a party on June 24th in Coronado (Jean-Baptist Day) but you don't have to be a Quebecer to enjoy each others company. Send me an e-mail for your invite. There will be qualifying questions to weed out the Canadian wanna-be's, such as:1) What is the first and last letter of the alphabet? (must be administered verbally)
    2) Who is the President of Canada 3) What is the Pizza Pizza phone number? Roberto
