Fantastic video⊠I love your soft relaxed toneâŠ. I am considering Panama for my retirementâŠ. I am thinking about taking one of those tours, Do have any recommendations on which one is the best to take??? Thanks for sharingâŠ
Hi John - thank you for your comment! My mom, sister and I created our own itineraries because both my mom and sister have lived in Boquete for several years. So we canât recommend tours but we do know that Judy Tovar has a travel agency called Easy Travel Panama. We like Judy and she was educated in both Panama and the States so is fully bilingual. She should be able to help - you can Google âEasy Travel Panamaâ on the internet. Best wishes on your retirement!!
Wow! This is the best info I have ever gotten on Panama! And it's just one episode- Subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video. Thank you.
I'll be retiring in the US this year. I'll be planning a month long trip to Panama, for hopefully, later this year.
Wonderful!! Enjoy!!
