John – we had the same setup: deposit from Scotiabank Canada (U.S. dollar account) to Scotiabank Panama. For $6,000 cheques, we were charged $16.15 ($15 +7% tax + 10cent timbre).  

Although it’s been about 4 years since we’ve made a deposit there, it’s stunning that it would have increased that much. Maybe inquire again?

The Casa de Cerdo across from Melo suddenly is gone. I went by last Thursday. Closed up, no sign. Boo hoo.

Bonnie - this was the sign that was posted in February. I have bought meat from the owner in early March at the Tuesday Market.

Thanks Penny. I sent 3 more emails today, one to another address I was given by a friend: healthisparadise@gmail.com

If no answer by tomorrow I will email the owner, per your suggestion, I was trying to avoid that.

What a drag. I am just trying to find out about a birthday cake for my husband. Should it be this difficult? Now, only one day left!

The Boquete Chicas had made arrangements with chef/manager Craig for 20+ of us to dine at Seasons today at 12 noon. The organizers had several email communications with Craig and had sent in our menu selections well in advance of the luncheon

Penny, may I ask what email address you were using to communicate with Craig? I sent an email 2 days ago to reservations@lucero.com.pa, however, no response. Our dinner is in 2 days and I'd like an alternative email if you have one. Thanks.

There are USB drives that connect to iPad / iPhone / iPod..... I just bought a 64g Leef iBridge (in Canada) to offload pics and videos from iPad. Comes in 32g as well. 

Here is what it looks like: http://www.thesource.ca/en-ca/computers-and-tablets/hard-drives-and-storage/usb-drives/leef-ibridge-32gb-mobile-memory---black/p/108051982#product-details

Hi Marilyn - my Panama driver's license was expiring on July 31, 2016, my birth month. I renewed it early, with no problem, on March 23, 2016 (in the mall next to PriceSmart across from Cinema for $36).

It will now however expire on March 23, 2020, no longer having anything to do with my birth month.

Helene,
