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”
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!”
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”
Our Mostly Outside Neighbours
I am not a fan of creepy, crawly, slithering or multi-legged creatures. Some of our outside ‘friends’ are absolutely beautiful, some weird and others downright scary. And of course, some are really good dive bombers. We have them all, I guess learning how to co-exist is the trick. I am also trying to learn howContinue reading “Our Mostly Outside Neighbours”
