A little late but now we have good internet access

After fighting the snowstorm in New York on Friday, trudging our way to LGA to see if we might still have a flight that would leave, gallantly we stood our ground and hoped for the best! Through some miracle,our flight out of NY was only one of three to go to Atlanta for our connection. Delayed 2 hours, we had the pleasure of doing the Hartsfield Atlanta Shuffle! 3 terminals from landing to departure, 25 minutes to get to our departure gate! whew, made it just as the flight was boarding .......... Oh the saga of trains, planes and automobiles!

After landing in Panama City on Friday night, the vacation soon began. Our dear friend and faithful driver Emilio was at the airport to meet us with a warm handshake, hug and a case of Balboa beer, chilled, that is.

Thus starts our new expedition into the old world.

On Saturday, we had the wonderful joy of meeting with more friends in the Casco Viejo section of Panama City.

We still maintain that the best restaurant in the area is Maria's "Frit-Arte"

We were greeted with warm hugs and kisses and Fabulous food, a new menu by the way! Somehow a Thai chef wondered through the door and Maria hired him ..... Good decision, the food is even better and more varied than before.

A great reunion.
