Panamá: Ocean to Ocean Tour

Since moving to Panama, we haven’t had time to explore the area like tourists. In honor of Jack’s first visit, Rhys and I finally put on our tourists hats and went to see the canal! Booking the Tour Although I am always wary of spending too much on a tour, I also knew I would…

Hiking La India Dormida, Panamá

The Plan This spring break, we took a lot of time to rest. It was well deserved, a break from basketball, from guitar, and waking up at 4 am every morning! So, we decided to do at least one thing this break. We drove to Anton Valley early Thursday morning. The drive there was about…

Rogers at a Chocolate Factory!

OBSESSIONS If you know me, you will know that I am a chocoholic. However, I am not like my husband or children who eat ALL chocolate. I am a chocolate snob. Therefore, whenever I have the opportunity to tour a chocolate factory, I do so! Truth: I endure the lecture on the process just so…

Monkey Island by Boat

Buying Tickets When we were first exploring Panama as a potential living situation, we saw that there is a Monkey Island where the monkeys will come right up to you. That’s all we needed – Cole and I were in! Once we arrived, I began searching for the right tour. I will be honest, I’m…

Enjoying the Van Gogh Exhibition

The Van Gogh Immersive Experience As we were all looking for a place to spend the holidays together on this beautiful planet, I searched for something we could all do together that would all be enjoyable. I found the Van Gogh Immersive Experience while browsing Ticket Master. It seemed to check all the boxes: I’ve…

Boat Ride and Champagne in Panama City

You had me at boat ride! There is not another place on Earth that makes me happier than being on the water. So when OfertaSimple offered a discount for a Sea Breeze Champagne Adventures, I grabbed it. Not only for Cody and I but for three other couples we have met here in Panama. Logistics…

Gamboa Tree Trek; Zip-lining in Panama

We arrived to the rain forest on the corner where Gatún Lake meets the Chagres River mid-morning. Immediately we were met with scurrying wild life (we’ll come back to that), a variety of lush green foliage, and peaceful views of the water. If this had been the end of our day, it would have been worth…

Delicious Thai Food in Panama City, Panama

Date Night Finally! It feels like we have been moving for ages! The process never seems to end. We physically moved to Panama in early July. Then, we returned to get our “stuff” to come to Panama. Then, we moved our oldest into University in the states. So, even though nothing is put up, our…

My Birthday Celebration at Mambo Beach

Luckily the lockdown was lifted just in time to celebrate year 45 on the beach! Now was the difficult decision to choose which one – yes I know this problem won’t gain sympathy from anyone. The family and I settled on Mambo beach. While we have been on this beach for shopping, dinner, and happy…

Scampi’s Restaurant On the Water

Location, Location, Location Let’s be real, even if the food wasn’t great, Scampi’s delivers stunning ambiance! This picturesque restaurant is in Punda, but away from the hustle of “city life”. The outside dining area is right over the crashing waves, and in the evening, the sun setting over the water is picture-perfect. Scampi’s is one…
