I’m behind on postings, but the real issues are: I continue to be faced with the shock of taking ice cold showers and wack Wi-FI. I never knew I could survive such travesties. J/K. Not really . . .

French Toast, duh.
You didn’t expect me to change all of my rituals while traveling did you? (More …)

Just while I am singing Spirit’s praises, they go and do the type of shit (excuse my French) I can’t stand to see businesses do . . .back customers into a hole. Click here to read how Spirit adds seats that don’t recline to their newest fleet.
As if their seats weren’t already uncomfortable enough.
hmph!

I am no expert at this as while I am writing I am anxiously awaiting my cellphone bill from T-mobile. But I thought I’d share what I have learned thus far, as I knew absolutely nothing when I embarked on my travels.

I know there are a ton of folks looking to make the trek from Panama to South America via Colombia. And its traumatic, confusing, expensive. To be clear, its not advised that you cross the Darien Gap overland, at least not from Panama into Colombia. Other options I have read about include catching a boat from San Blas islands into Cartegena. The thing is the boat ride is like 4 or 5 days, the waters may be rough and the route in general is one that is notorious for a particular industry that I don’t care to expressly mention here. Besides which, it costs upwards $400 and I’m just not that into being on a random boat with a random ship captain and random people in general for more than an hour. I’m just sayin. (More …) -

If you’re looking to take a salsa class (or just a workout) during your stay in Panama, look no further than Salsa Panama. The instructors, Julio and Nelly are fabulous and if nothing else you will learn a Salsa two-step. I don’t know what their rates are, as my class was included in my tuition for my Spanish course with Spanish Panama.

Ferry: $11 roundtrip
Umbrella Rental: $5
Lunch: $12
Even though I didn’t make it home until 5AM this morning, my new friend (and fellow FAMU Alum) Natalie and I got up this morning and caught the 10:30 ferry from Amador to Isla Taboga. The ferry cost $11 roundtrip and operates daily. But since it’s holy week, the ferry was operating on a modified schedule when I went to Isla Taboga. The trip takes about an hour each way.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdSl3wdh8kQ&hl=en&fs=1%5DGood Friday is a national holiday in Panama, a Catholic country. We had heard that everything was going to close down on Thursday after about 9:00PM and remain closed until Friday at midnight at least and even then not all businesses were going to be operating as it was Holy Week. I was bummed because it was my last weekend in Panama and I really wanted to go to Isla Taboga and was worried that the ferries weren’t going to be operating. But as it turns out Semana Santa was quite possibly one of the highlights of my trip to Panama. Partly because I wasn’t expecting it to be so big. (More …)
