Joyful

I'd be surprised if there will be any change to the current domestic terminal and associated bus connection any time soon.  With only 2 domestic flights in and 2 out each day, I just don't see the justification to support a special domestic facility in the new terminal.  Does anyone have any connections with Copa that could confirm or deny?

Pre-Opening this Saturday and Sunday.  

Finally!  Does anyone know the reason for the significant delay in opening.  We heard it was because Naturgy wanted an exorbitant fee to connect the electric, but can anyone in the know confirm or deny?

Not very clear, but here's a photo we took from our late afternoon flight into David on Saturday.

Generally, these are held on file, and only scrutinized if and when you are subject to a tax audit. 

We signed up with Cable Onda 5 years ago and I think their top speed at that time was 15 Mbps.  Like others, the speed has increased considerably over time (15 to 30 to 60 to 100 to 160 Mbps).

I find SpeedTest's "Finding optimal server" process sub-optimal because it always finds a sever in Costa Rica instead of Cable Onda's server in Panama City.  The screen shots below show the difference which can be considerable especially the Ping times.

Keith,

 

Thanks for the clarification.  I have always assumed that the white lines indicated a one way street whereas the yellow lines indicated a two way street.

 

 

You are correct:  https://driversed.com/driving-information/signs-signals-and-markings/markings-colors-patterns-meaning.aspx

My guess is that "Ready for painting lines..." was communicated and nobody stopped to think "Oh wait, this is a one way street".  Just the usual lack of planning or thought, resulting in errors and rework that you see here every day.

Oh, c'mon Jim, please do...

Panama City is challenging Miami as the hub for The Americas

Isn't this more related to shipping business than airline business?  If Copa really want's to challenge, then they need European destinations, and with full lie flat business seats (a first for Copa) on their new Boeing 737 MAX 9's, maybe this is their plan - do you have any inside info on this?

Hi Bonnie, please keep me posted, because I would like to know where to get some of that florist's foam!

Ta everso, Cath. 

Yes Bonnie, also on Tuesday when I went into town, the right turn that was in use was blocked off and we were directed along the main road into town or to take a left turn past The Haven. I have come to the conclusion that it is best to be prepared for anything...tho' I didn't see any rock breaking! 

How beautiful she is, and how fitting for Panama!

The meal consisted of all 7 courses listed on the menu above (like a tasting menu), and the food was excellent.  With so much good food and a margarita included, $30.00 was a steal for those searching for "finer food". 

We will be trying our Chef Paulo's new menu, especially after the new video launched yesterday by another social website.

Last night my husband and I had ribs at Seasons Restaurant in Lucero, they were EXCELLENT!

All you can eat ribs and fries, or yucca fries, for $20.00! Great food and great service, what more can one ask!

We will be looking out for their next "rib night " announcement!

We too use smartdnsproxy.  It's been stable for almost a year now allowing us to stream Netflix USA and Amazon Prime Video.  They did go through a period where Netflix was able to undo their efforts.

smartdnsproxy is primarily only for setting geo-location for streaming music and videos. It will not hide your location (or IP address given by your provider [Cable Onda in our case]) for regular web surfing (like some VPN's).

Merry Christmas to everyone on Chiriqui Life! 

Last night my husband and I had dinner at Colibri, and in the words of Patsy and Edie...it was Absolutely Fabulous! 5 courses and each one quite different, thought up with imagination and cooked with great care. The service was also very good, and Carolina and Daniele had everything organized beautifully. Seriously, what more could one ask...and only $40 a person. 

No doubt, some would complain it was far too expensive, and the food did not come as huge servings, but there is the alternative of a Boquete tipico restaurant where a huge plateful would only cost about $4....but it is Christmas after all!

Stopped for a fill-up yesterday and they put $50 worth of diesel in my vehicle before telling me they don't have credit card facilities yet.

Still only getting 25-30 Mbps.  Reset the modem multiple times.  Using http://www.speedtest.net/ to test.

We pay for 30 Mbps and are getting 25 down and 5 up.  No change here...

Yes, I have been there 3 times lately and they do give Jubilado discount.

I can't resist pointing out that on Facebook Patsi preaches prayer and Christian virtues in a almost all her posts. Such hypocrisy.

I wonder what they did with all the merchandise.

Yes Bonnie you a correct! I was on FB yesterday and there were lots of postings from Patsi ......and they were all religious! How ironic is that!

Does anyone have any information on how many midday flights (12:06 pm PTY-DAV or 3:49 pm DAV-PTY) Copa have been cancelling lately due to weather or too few passengers?

Good job Keith!
