We woke up the next morning, eager to see what Boquete looked like. We spent all day driving there from Panama City the day before, but by the time we got there it was too dark to see anything.
"Wow. It's paradise here."
It was. Whenever I imagine paradise, I think of a ...Isla Viveros will keep the riff-raff away

Ahh, and we're back. After a semi-hiatus of a few months, Todd and I are back to the full nomad lifestyle.

And even when I was in Austin, ...Budget Travels' top 10 budget destinations and a Gadling twist

I called my friend Captain Dave the day before our trip. "Dave, we're going to hit the ground running in Panama City so we can check out the canal. I've got it all figured out.

I've flown with Captain Jim on the MD-80, the 737 and the 757/767.
