WhatsApp is a big thing down here. I’ve arranged for our diving via WhatsApp. Everyone, including the restaurants and water taxis, can be WhatsApp’d. So yesterday at some point I decided that the best way to get more confidence and experience diving, is to go more often, and I WhatsApp’d Denisse to see if weContinue reading “I was just trying not to die.”

Can I be done?
Today we had an 8 am date at the dive shop. We were supposed to meet with Denisse to chat about diving during our trip and potentially book some diving. When we arrived, Denzel helped us out with the paperwork, fit us for BCDs, and jotted our pertinent details down. When Denisse arrived, I toldContinue reading “Can I be done?”
Yah, Mama!
Last night, we walked to West Bay for dinner and had pizza at Bananarama. The pizza was good, and the waiter was delightful. Not sure how to spell his name, maybe just Kevin, but pronounced Key-ven. We walked back to our place, and I put the finishing touches on the blog, and we went toContinue reading “Yah, Mama!”
#RevengeTravel
We started out this week stressed, but with a positive vibe. Last week, I decided to make a big change, or rather, I finalized it. After 5 and a half years, I accepted a new position with an exciting start-up and resigned from my current role. Bittersweet for sure, but we are excited for whatContinue reading “#RevengeTravel”
My Hip is in a Corn Hole
Today we got up to sunny skies again. After breakfast, Donna, Nathan & and I walked down to the public beach for a little swim before Donna needed to see a client at 11. We decided to come back after lunch and rent paddleboards and kickboards and whatever fun toys struck our fancy. While weContinue reading “My Hip is in a Corn Hole”
The Pool is Milky!
We woke up to a beautiful, sunny day. The plan was for Phil to take Alice fishing in the morning, but 10 year old little girls do not always get up in time for Grandpa’s fishing excursions. So instead, Phil and Deb went to church, Donna and Dennis went to the pool and Nathan andContinue reading “The Pool is Milky!”
The Sun Will Come Out!
We woke to find ominously cloudy skies. I packed a beach bag anyway, and Nathan and I went to find groceries and coffee for breakfast. The local Sunshine Foods left a lot to be desired, namely, the whole organic section was missing, and we did the best we could with what they had. We gotContinue reading “The Sun Will Come Out!”
I was supposed to prepare some remarks?
Our journey to Iowa started easy enough. Our Covid tests came back negative. (Not required, just respectful). Both of us were able to disentangle from work close enough to 5 on Thursday that it didn’t lead to any additional stress. Fibs was dropped off at the kennel without any problem. Surely the journey won’t beContinue reading “I was supposed to prepare some remarks?”
Was I Supposed To Wait For You Back There?
On Monday we had a few leisurely hours to spend in Panama City before we needed to catch an Uber to the airport. We ate breakfast at the restaurant in our hostel. Then I decided that I needed to head to the Farmacia to get anti-itch skin cream for the flight home. I was hopingContinue reading “Was I Supposed To Wait For You Back There?”
You Must Wear a Swim Suit to Get in the Water!
We woke up this morning at 6:20, got ready and headed out to a nearby coffee shop for breakfast. We are not in an apartment with a kitchen in Panama City. Instead, we have a hotel style room with en suite bathroom in a youth hostel. This particular hostel is heavy on the youth withContinue reading “You Must Wear a Swim Suit to Get in the Water!”
