Well, the ...Life Nomadic: Fifteen Essential Tips for Panama
Mar 31st, 2009 at 10:30AM: Only a week remains in my two month stay in Panama, so I thought it would be useful to condense everything I've learned here to make it easier for future travelers. Panama City is one of my favorite places in the world. It's a perfect blend of "frontier spirit", as Todd calls it, comfortable city life, good prices, and nearby cities and towns to explore. In list form, here are my recommendations ...Cockpit Chronicles: Taken for a ride in Panama City
Mar 4th, 2008 at 9:00AM: 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. Just get to bed early," I said. Dave was up for this. He actually traded one of his Barbados layovers to fly this trip with me. Sometimes it's worth it to fly an ugly trip with a good friend. We've been flying together ...Cockpit Chronicles - Riots in Panama
Feb 25th, 2008 at 8:40AM: I've flown with Captain Jim on the MD-80, the 737 and the 757/767.

Jim has been trying to expand my interest in shooting in the manual mode on my Canon DSLR. I tend to spend more time with the angles and composition than the exposure and white ...How many condos does Panama City need?
Nov 28th, 2007 at 3:00PM: One of the things that surprised me the most about my trip to Panama is the amount of development going up in Panama City, Panama. There are literally dozens of highrises going up right now, in addition to the dozens that are already there. Panama is a fairly small city, about 600-800 thousand residents, based on different estimates. Yet, judging by the skyline, you would think that this is a ...Photo of the Day (11/26/07)

Since I am in Panama now, here is a picture I took a few days ago in cloudy Panama City (it's the end of the rainy season). This is my first time in Panama and I am blown away by the amount of construction going on in this city. The obsession with highrises reminds me of Shanghai; so do the slums with the view of the "good life."

Nov 25th, 2007 at 9:00AM: One of the coolest things I´ve seen in Panama so far is the crazy bus-art. Now, it´s not uncommon to see buses painted wild colors all over Latin America, but Panamanians have this stuff down to fine art. Just about every local public bus is in the style of an old American school bus, but painted the craziest colors, festooned with religious sayings and multiple chromed horns. And, if ...
