How long have you been there?
How much total cost when you be there?
It is reasonable?

Having been born and having relatives there, I have managed to return at an average of every 5 years. That is until lately. The last time I was in Panama I was there for the Centennial independence festivities in 2003. In fact, that was the second trip I made in the same year (the shortest interval between trips ever), as I was there for Carnival as well. The current interval has been the longest since I imegrated to the U. S. in 1969, as I don't plan to return until Carnival of 2010.

My first time was in December 1966 (by car, driving from Canada. I remember an unpaved Panamerican Hwy mostly big boulders in the stretch north of David. Went with a couple of buddies, sleeping beside the road sometimes ).

My next time will be a week from today going with my wife to an All-Inclusive.

Next time after that, Dec 2008-Jan 2008.

Then, who knows - permanently in a few years?

I just got back this past March. I went in early November when my grandma past away and ended up staying to visit family and just relax. I had to come back home to take care of things since I want to make a more permanent move for an undetermined amount of time.

I have lived here permanently for 3 years and love it!! My husband and I retired here from Chicago.

We are about an hour out of the city, 15 minutes from beaches, and 15 minutes from the mountains!

We have a view to "die for" according to many people, including lifelong Panamanians. We can actually see the curviture of the earth. Our coastline views includes Togabo Island, Pearl Islands, Punta Chame, Coronado, Farillon, Chitre, and the Azuero Peninsula. We watch the cruise and container ships coming and going toward the canal.

How long does a "Tour America" like Yours take?
1966 ? :-)

All Inclusive? In Panama? Examples?

Question Fact or rhetoric?

Is that due to "0" gravity, or lens distortion?
