    We didn't set alarms this morning and took our time getting moving. Erica was up first and set out to explore the surrounding area. She was excited that that she spotted 3 turtles in the canal. When I got up she was already gone and Amanda was still sleeping, so…

    It's been 4 1/2 years since the last time Erica, Amanda, and I last took a girl's trip. While Amanda was home in January for my retirement celebration we decided that it had been too long, and started planning another. We tossed around several location ideas but eventually landed on…

    Today is a travel day back home. I slept in a little bit and had my final bowl of Generic Coco Krispies while sitting on the balcony. It was then time to pack up. Thankfully there was a scale at this AirBnB and I discovered my check bag might be…

    Last full day in Panama. I can't hardly believe it. This past month has gone by so fast. I slept in and didn't get moving until after 9:00. We didn't have any big plans for our last day. As we traveled through the country we noticed a store called "I…

    Well sleeping in an over water cabin was about as amazing as I thought it would be (yes you should read that with a sarcastic tone). Although it did feel like I was back at girl scout camp, it was mostly hot and humid. The mosquito net somehow doesn't allow…

    I think we were all afraid of missing our alarm as everyone said they were up before the alarm went off. I was out of bed and in the shower by 4:20. Our ride was prompt and picked us up right at 5:00. We began the journey to the other…

    This morning after getting ready and eating breakfast (generic Coco Krispies) Linda and I went to the Albrook Mall (https://www.albrookmall.com/), which is the largest Mall in Latin America. The American girls that had joined us for dinner when we did the cooking class had told Linda that they found a…

    Linda and I both woke up around 7:30. She hopped in the shower first as I finalized my airfare for my next adventure . . . return to the blog in April to read about a girls trip to Turks & Caicos! Our hotel stay included a free breakfast buffet.…

    There was not a lot on the agenda today other than to start our travels back to Panama City. We left the AirBnB at 10:00 and was able to hail a taxi from the end of our driveway to take us back to the water taxi port. Unfortunately we all…

    I was up by 8:00 and had a clear goal this morning of walking to picking up more sea glass, revenging my geocaching DNF, and walking the entire Playa Bluff beach. I'm happy to say check, check, and check. First up was the sea glass treasure trove. Today I remembered…

    I slept ok in the loft. It wasn't too hot, but I did wake up at 6:00 with what sounded like birds fluttering in the ceiling. I'm pretty sure they were outside, but they were loud enough that it disrupted my sleep. It had rained over night, so maybe what…

    Today was a travel day and we had to be out of our AirBnB by 11:00. I got up, got ready, and ate breakfast before I packed up my things. Pete and Laurie took a little longer to get ready so I had time to go outside and read a…
