Left Santa go late cause my battery died and had to find a place to charge it on a Sunday. The speed limit is 100 kph and they actually obey it cause there are a lot of cops on the road. It's the rainy season and it rains cats and dogs everyday, was bucketing down and we had to pull off and wait it out for an hour and a half. Arrived in Panama City at five and a guy drove us to the hostel thankfully , people are so helpful and friendly everywhere we go. The room is huge like 500 sq.ft. So we're able to dry all our stuff . Went down to jap jap for a great bite to eat.
I was up and gone before Tom awoke this morning which was a first. Took the underground to the bus station and ended up on a chicken bus which was quite an experience to go to the canal. What an operation it is moving those ships , just over a million ships in a hundred years, and they are building a new one cause the Americans screwed up building it in feet and inches instead of the metric measurements.
I walked downtown and along the shoreline and caught the bus back to somewhere and wondered aimlessly back and found my way to the hostel.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Although there was a lot of paper work, I received help and guidance when I needed it.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
