Finally getting some pictures for you to look at. these are us shipping our boxes at LAX, Linda saying goodbye to our trailer in Aromas and us striking out in our rented van towards Los Angeles. More pics will follow soon as I learn how do this blog stuff.
You see that I have not posted anything for a while. That is because the beauty of Panama is that everything takes a while....longer than you would think. so in the first week we have been here we have accomplised a lot: we got our house cleaned, we got 2 cell phones to work (although we still can't retrieve messages) a printer and other computer stuff working and a number of trips to many stores.
The first big adventure was to go into Panama City to the airport to recover our 4 boxes of household goods we shipped air freight from LAX. After chasing the boxes by phone for three days we finally were assured there were there and off we went. Of course we took the dog, Grayson because he barks incessentaly if left alone. And a loud barking dog in the middle of town is not a good start with the neighbors. Anyway we found the air freight terminal and had to make 4 stops at three different buildings (collecting stamps on the paper) before we could get the stuff.
So now we have our SUV 2/3 full of boxes, with a little space for the dog and off we go to buy stuff for the house. It is now miday and hot and since we are not comforatble leaving the windows down while shopping one of us stays in the car and the other goes into the store.
Now the stuff we need is not small, printers, dishpans, utility racks, and all the other stuff we can get at the Do It center. By the time we left the back of the car was piled high so we could not see out the window. We got home after dark, which is a challenge because the used car we bought has a darkly tinted windshield and makes int really hard to see. But we made it.
