I just can't resist, but with apologies.

Where there's a will, there's a whey.

That's funny!

This topic came up in Expat blog about carrying around your passport.

Our great friends P & B recommended this. Copy the front of your passport and latest entry stamp and get it laminated at Mailboxes for .50. to keep in your wallet.

Unless of course you are going to the Fronterra.

Wheys up?

Our water bill was around $100 a month in Southern California. And this was before the mandatory 25% water reduction for each home and business and the 20% increase in water bills and over water usage charges.

Be happy with what you got!

Just want to say that in the last month we have been doing some upgrading around our house and have been using Ivan and want to report the excellent service from them in assisting us. It's a family run operation and very well executed. Great service and prices. It's the first place since being in Panama that  the staff behind the counter has asked me my name and where I live.

They have been very helpful! We are really glad they are here!

Well done Mr Ivan Liang!

Maybe they don't have to since there is so much great buz on the internet about how great Panama is?

But then there is this:

Been here twice... and really wish this place would make it. Tacos and burritos added to the back page of the"Italian menu"!!! Why?? The food was not great.... and it should be. Very average. Arrived at 5:30 and left at 8 pm. No one else in the place.

Restaurant Parmagiana is 10 times better.

Good points.

But I agree with Bonnie:

"Rather, people who are contemplating a move to Panama should investigate and budget for healthcare before making the move"

Hum.... so how did it all work out for them?

Great suggestion!

Thanks Doug!

Totally agree... Our lawyer is Lourdes Miranda. She was excellent in helping us purchase our home,set up our foundation, living wills/medical directives.

A true professional that looks out for your best interest!

Good to know. Also the whole chickens are awesome slow roasted!

Great suggestion!

Thanks

Can just imagine what other media outlets are reporting. Every bit of news from the US is about Trump.

Last week ABC news spent 58 minutes of coverage on Trump for the week and 2 minutes on Bernie Sanders!

Bud,

Who does your  monthly extermination?  That is environmentally friendly stuff?

Another reason of many, to not eat there!

Brahman,

Google it and you will find them.

That's funny, Penny! 

Hi Jay Kay,

No we do not have chicken wire. What we have is much stronger and heavier gage. They had a few rolls of the stuff and more in the back.

 I can take a picture in the morning if you like? Too dark now.

Thank you.

That's great. We luckily know his daughter and got to meet them both and see his observatory. He is brilliant! We learned so much and look forward to his presentation.

He knows his stuff!

Where is the best place to buy a 10 foot fiberglass ladder?

Thanks
