I've got a most of my trip planned out. Two nights at the Waldorf on points. Then off to David. Haven't booked the fights yet but based on seats its wide open. Renting a car in David and if time permits will drive up to Boquete for the day then drive to Boca Chica. Staying at the Seagull Cove for 3 nights. Will fish inshore because offshore it $1400 and that's pretty steep for a solo angler. But it's marlin season and I want to get one so I might just suck it up. Then back to PTY for two nights. Might cut this to one night. Looking for a hotel in Casco Viejo.
I'm not spending anytime looking at RE. If I have a free day I might try to look at a few condos/apartments in Panama City. Going more just to get a sense of the vibe. I think I've decided I'd rather have a second place somewhere more cosmopolitan than rural. Restaurants, nightlife and a close international airport for returning home or to fly somewhere else. So a small high rise condo in Panama City might fit the bill. I will be adding Medellin to my possible second home spots. My daughter is in 8th grade and hell bent on going to Princeton. If she ends up there it's possible that I move back to NYC.
