Our “little family”
Rachel boards the Fokker
I flew down to Panama on a Copa non rev ticket after finishing 6 days of flying for SWA. Rachel and Rebecca had already been in Panama for several days doing fun stuff in the Canal Zone area. Once I got to PTY, I took a cab to Danny Reyes home for a brief stay before the girls, and Monica had returned from church, they quickly packed up and we headed to Albrook Airfield for our Air Panama flight to Bocas.
Arriving in Bocas the flight is low over the water, the runway appears on the side windows then you touch down. The end of the runway literally extends into town, which made for an easy walk to our hotel at the Tropical Suites. As soon as we checked in, we arranged for a panga, which is the boat that was our primary mode of transportation in the Archipeligo to go to a close by snorkeling spot. It was close and it was better than I had remembered from my last visit, which we went diving on. We noticed that the tourist crowd was a little limited on this off season time frame, and the locals say even more so than usual this year. Dinner at Bocarts, fusion of some type. A long day travelling from Cocoa Beach to Bocas, and amazed that in the span of 12 hours, I could leave home and be in the warm Caribbean waters snorkeling on a coral reef.
