Back in Panama City

Whew boy. That flight on Air Panama from Bocas was a weird one. It was a half hour late and as we saw an empty plane on the tarmac we wondered why we weren't getting on. Then another plane landed and everyone got off that plane, walked across the tarmac, and got on the other plane. Then we got on the plane that just landed.

There was a lot of turbulence and I didn't think Deanne was going to make it without using that trustee barf bag in the front. But she persevered and we made it within the hour and didn't have to do that 12-hour grueling bus ride.

We checked into another nice hotel with a rooftop pool and we've just been hanging out, eating more good food, and waiting until we're going to New Orleans on Wednesday. It's the second to last weekend of Mardi Gras and Deanne will be throwing beads from a krewe de Freret float.

We're super excited to see Mo and Anita and to finally enjoy Mardi Gras. I've been to New Orleans over 20 times but never during Mardi Gras.Read more
