So begins the restless nights and early mornings.  The mind is ready to go, but for the waiting.  All that’s left around here is unplugging everything, draining water tanks (OMG what a mistake!!!), calling the cable company,  and sitting there thinking about things you may have forgotten.

While I wait, more playing in the monkey bars of this site, and voila! Maps!!

This is our first destination – Tocumen Airport, Panama.

We are set to arrive mid-afternoon, which is alright by me.  It will be a long day already by the time we arrive,  and I can’t see sleep happening until there is no choice, so cab fare into the city and a hotel should fill in the hours before dark.   We’ll then be settled, and a walk in the warm evening breeze could end out the day.

If there is time, a trip to the bus terminal will be needed to see their schedules.  My Spanish isn’t good enough yet for the rapid-fire phone calls.  Speaking of which, I guess my old Nokia I bought down there won’t work anymore, so we’ll probably get either a SIM card for hers, or just buy a new one for 20 buks.

All phones down here are unlocked, and cheap as they should be.  In a country of 3.9 million, there are 4 major providers.  See?  This is why I refuse to buy a cell phone in Canada.  Lest I go on a rant, it’s best to stop now.
