My last visit to Panama was as a married and still child-free person, but I was there without my husband.
I did have plenty of company; a few hundred shipmates with me aboard my US Navy Fleet oiler, going through the Panama Canal and stopping for a port visit in the capital, Panama City.
I thought fondly of that trip as I read this San Francisco Chronicle article on the country’s lowlands (the Canal, wonderful rainforests and Panama City) and the highlands (the Volcan Baru National Park and coffee plantations.)
Now it’s obvious that I simply must travel to Panama with my whole family (and this time I won’t have to wear khaki or stand watch on the ship.)

Hi just wanted to let you know how happy I am to learn that many americans that were stationed in Panama or passed thru the Canal want to come back. This is a testimony that we are doing some things right.
You will be amazed of how Panama has changed for the good and the bad. Hopefully more for the good. I had the opportunity to work in the reconversion process of the former Panama Canal Zone which were reserved for the defense of the Canal. Even though we were sorry to see the Americans leave we were conscious that we had the opportunity to take advantage of all that infrastructure already built and change our country. We are in that process.
At this time I am working with some colleagues in finding investment opportunities for people that like Panama and would like to take advantage of the times we are living. Please look at our website http://www.checkoutpanama.com and let me know if we can help you any way. Also do not hesitate to ask any questions.

Hi Alfredo, Glad you liked the post and that things are going well in Panama these days.
I don’t plan to buy property there but I know that many people do, so thanks for your site and interest.
Can’t wait to visit again, Sheila
Thank you Sheila,
Things are really happening here and fast so it will be changed when you come back…
take care,
Alfredo
