At first I was worried, really worried. I am used to a very, very busy husband who is rarely home. I like being in charge of everything and doing everything myself. I DO! I love that when my husband is around we just drop everything and have fun together. All of the sudden when I had him around, […]
Boquete, Panama turned out to be *our* city and I can’t believe we almost didn’t go. It was an hour and a half away, famous for coffee (we aren’t coffee drinkers) and far from the beach. So it wasn’t HIGH on our list, but on our last day I thought, “Let’s do it.” I had been hearing […]
Well, let me show you! Eating at our favorite spot And waiting forever and ever for the food to come (worth it!) Watching out so we wouldn’t run over animals everywhere TRYING to surf Trying lots of new fruits Falling asleep reading lots of books And getting as dirty as we wanted every single day […]
Ok! The Jungle Excursion…interesting story. We are looking to live out of the country, either for the full year or for just a couple of months per year. So I set up a tour to visit an island out there in Panama where they are building a whole community- a drop dead beautiful community! AND quite […]
I remember telling Tyler that we couldn’t do a 3 hour fishing trip with the girls in THAT boat in THAT sun. I thought I had told him to ask if we could just go out for 1 hour, then Arturo could take us back and Tyler could go out for the other 2 hours. Somehow […]
Howler monkeys, butterflies, frogs, birds and bugs. Those were the animals making all those sounds we heard. Who in the world knew that butterflies together could make THAT LOUD of a noise?! We caught glimpses of quite a few fireflies but I refused to go out and catch them in the pitch dark with huge frogs everywhere. […]
We found out what animal makes these tracks…do you know? But I need help with these…could they be from the same thing that made one of the tracks above? I am not sure… I’ll be back tomorrow with more of a real post. We just did a 4 hour trip to the jungle to a […]
Tyler kept on checking in with me by patting my back throughout the trip and asking, “Still doing ok?” Then he would tell me about HIS first time out of the country and how sometimes it would freak him out. “Pshaw,” would think and say.”Look at me. I am doing wonderfully.” But the last few hours […]
12 miles from the airport to the Marriott. It was a Saturday night around 8pm, so of course we knew it would be at the height of traffic but three other important things we didn’t know were: Maps are a joke in Panama. They don’t believe in street signs and, even though the locals are […]
I heard lots of words I have never heard a certain person say come out of certain someone’s mouth. We won’t say who that someone was because, after all, it COULD have been me or the Delta employee that obviously detested us. Then it happened. After looking at full flight after full flight they found one […]
love of local in Utah
