To Panama?!

That's right. After an unfortunate wave of a volcano eruption followed by tropical storm Agatha hitting Guatemala, we have reset our plans. Within 48 hours, we've gotten a refund on our tickets, looked at a map of Central America to pick our next destination, and landed on...Panama! It's one of the few countries not hit by the tropical storm and still not as discovered by tourists as Costa Rica. After sitting on the floor of Borders for a couple hours reading all the guidebooks they had on the country, we decided to commit, bought our tickets, and now there's no turning back. Panama, here we come! We'll let you know how the canal is.

A man, a plan, a canal: Panama.
