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”

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!”
Let’s take a road trip to Torio
One Sunday we went out for lunch, and eight hours later we arrived back home. Normally, I am the world’s worst passenger when driving, but not this time. The scenery was spectacular. Our destination was the little town of Torio. Driving over a mountain range everything was brown, the scenery very similar to driving inContinue reading “Let’s take a road trip to Torio”
PEDASI, PANAMA
Pedasi is a small town in Los Santos province, Panama. When you look online you can find numbers that say the population of Pedasi ranges anywhere from 2500 – 4000. Whatever its actual size it has a lot to offer when you want to get away from a cold Canadian winter. In distance, it isContinue reading “PEDASI, PANAMA”
Loving Everything Beach
It’s hard to believe we have been in Pedasi for two months already!! When we left home we knew it would be a quiet winter with less “out and about”, and it has been. I am thankful that we are able to be away from the cold, snow and ice. From the beginning our mainContinue reading “Loving Everything Beach”
Living in Pedasi, Panama in Dec 2021
Moving to a new country, even for three months, takes a bit of time to adjust to the day to day living needs. We have been fortunate to join a What’sApp group that posts throughout the day on what is currently happening. What we have found (from previous trips also) is shopping and eating localContinue reading “Living in Pedasi, Panama in Dec 2021”
Coming back to Panama Dec 2021
After almost two years of not leaving Canada, we decided to “bite the bullet” and be a snowbird again. March 2020 we were in Portugal when we got the call to come home now or “you will have no covid insurance coverage”. At that time, who knew the world would become such a different place?Continue reading “Coming back to Panama Dec 2021”
2020, Memories of Portugal
One more day and we get picked up to start the first part of our journey home. We have virtually been in self isolation for the last week, and I have had way too much time for social media. Need to stay informed, but I am saturated. Daryl is encouraging me to stay busy doingContinue reading “2020, Memories of Portugal”
Sand City, Lagoa, Portugal 2020 (and a castle or two).
On our last outing before the world as we know it changed, we went to Sand City. the largest sand sculpture theme park in the world. It was absolutely incredible. Very few people there, we sure had no trouble keeping a good distance from others. We talked to a couple of the artists. The sculptureContinue reading “Sand City, Lagoa, Portugal 2020 (and a castle or two).”
Albufeira, Portugal 2020
I read that Albufeira is the ‘premier resort town’ of the Algarve and has a crazy night life. We spent a very pleasant day there, but we were long gone before any partying started!. The beach was absolutely beautiful. The beach is a long way down from the boardwalk. A first for me was anContinue reading “Albufeira, Portugal 2020”
