  1. We're in touch with Taxi Luis in Ciudad Panama to handle our baggage etc. when we move to Boquete. Has anyone used Senor Arce, (Taxi Luis) and if so do you recommend his services? If not, can anyone suggest a 'handler' for our household goods, luggage, packed items etc. between Tocumen and Boquete? We arrive back in Panama 9/2.

    Thank you.

  2. 1-- Mariah and I are well on the way to liquidating/gifting/selling/shucking 'stuff' here in Ohio to return to Boquete. What's the best/cheapest/most efficient way to ship personal items that we don't wish to bring in checked baggage? I'm referring to household stuff, like books, small appliances, knick-knacks we can't bear to part with etc.

    2--Does anyone use Magic Jack for phone calls? Good thing? Bad thing? Suggestions?

     

    Thanks in advance for the input

    We're exploring Boquete as a retirement spot, and have heard mention of scorpions getting cozy with folks, especially during the dry season. We'd appreciate your feedback on these little critters---avoidance, elimination, discovery and what to do should we be bitten etc. We've been here three days and have seen three scorpions in our casa already. Is this routine? Any advice? Thanks.  BE

    Thanks, Penny, good to know

  4. Thanks for the opportunity to post here, and for the assistance offered as we begin our big move from the Buckeye State to Boquete. Mariah and I attended our first newcomers conference at yesterday's Tuesday market, and it was very informative. A couple of things going forward: If anyone is aware of a one or two bed rental within an easy walk of downtown, price range $650 to $850/Mo., short or long term lease, we'd appreciate hearing about it. We have no pets, no smoking, no kids, and we're eager to be immersed in Espanol so we can learn a lot of the language as quickly as possible. Also, if anyone has a microwave oven they don't use, or need to sell, let me know. Mariah and I will be in Boquete exploring more until May 9th. Our plan is to be back in Panama no later than September 1st. 

    Thanks again--By Edgington
