Playita Resort is about a half hour from Pedasi. We have never stayed at the resort but pay a fee and go to the beach. There are lots of beaches just a short distance from Pedasi that are fabulous for walking. For me, they are not for swimming as the waves are too big duringContinue reading “Life’s simple pleasures”

Price Smart, just like going to Costco
This is our first trip to Panama where we are staying more than 3 months. In Pedasi you can get pretty well everything you need, and most of what you want. But maybe this year it’s time to look a little further afield. So many people have told us about Price Smart, kind of equivalentContinue reading “Price Smart, just like going to Costco”
Aerial yoga in Pedasi: Flying High
For the past few years I have followed a Pedasi Facebook page. Shortly before we left Calgary there was a post for aerial yoga that looked like something I would try. I replied with ‘interested’, then forgot about it until I got an inquiry back. By this time we were already in Pedasi. As itContinue reading “Aerial yoga in Pedasi: Flying High”
Pedasi: Our first little while, November 2022
It is hard to believe it’s almost two weeks since we left Calgary. We arrived in the rain and the first night here felt cold as it was only 24C. I actually wrapped up in a blanket on the couch. It might have also had something to do with fatigue! Since them no more feelingContinue reading “Pedasi: Our first little while, November 2022”
Pedasi here we come again
We left our house in Calgary about 3:45 AM to get to the airport in plenty of time for our 6 AM flight (thank you Heather, much appreciated). It was so cold, at least -23C. Even though we were going to be in Panama City by evening, I decided to wear a warm jacket ‘justContinue reading “Pedasi here we come again”
More Roatan, and then I came home!
Our plan was to spend two months in Roatan, but plans don’t always work out. We have this wonderful travel insurance that lasts for three months. You come home and the travel insurance ‘resets’, then away you go for another three months. This year we decided not to come home due to the hassle withContinue reading “More Roatan, and then I came home!”
Snorkelling in Half Moon Bay March 2022
The little town of West End, Roatan, Honduras has incredible snorkelling in Half Moon Bay. It has become our ‘almost daily’ form of exercise. Well, for me it is. Daryl does the diving thing and then will go snorkelling with me. Daryl loves diving here. I like the fact that he can go do twoContinue reading “Snorkelling in Half Moon Bay March 2022”
West End, Roatan
After three months in Pedasi, with the temperature around 30C-31C every day, lots of sunshine and not a drop of rain, we arrived on Roatan to cool temperatures (25C), cloud and rain. How sad is it to say, I was ‘freezing’ for the first couple of days we were here. We have stayed up thisContinue reading “West End, Roatan”
Booking with Expedia.ca
Update: All money has now been reimbursed. Last fall when we were planning our retirement winter get away, we decided to do things a little differently. Normally we would go away for three months, come home for a bit and then go for another three months. This worked well for a couple of reasons: ourContinue reading “Booking with Expedia.ca”
Tree trimming in Pedasi!
This house had two gigantic trees; a bunch of bamboo in the backyard yard and an olive tree on the side of the house. Early on in our stay, we had ‘a guy’ remove the noisy branch from behind the bohio. Back then, early in December, everything was green and the bamboo tree full andContinue reading “Tree trimming in Pedasi!”
