    This has been a long time in the making! I moved to Panama in July of 2019 and thought I was going to buy a condo on the beach. But fate would have other plans.
    Instead of buying a condo on the beach, I bought a fixer-upper in the mountains! And I couldn't be happier.

      If we do a Panama cruise, I don't want to just pass through the canals, I want to stop in Panama City for a few days. We still have "RVing in our blood" and going up to Oregon at the end of the month and work our way down HWY-1 till October.
      If and when we make the trip your way, believe me, I will give you a heads up.
