Michael,
I was born and raised in Panama. I am partly going back to see friends and see how Panama has changed. But I am mostly going back to go to the interior of Panama, beaches, Pal mar, Coranado,etc. Mountains, El Valle, Volcan. Hopefully I will make it to San Blas, I will definetly be going to Isla Grande which is on the atlantic side of Panama and is about a 3 hour boat ride from San Blas. The problem with San Blas is having to Pay the Kuna indians to take pictures of them. If I can find a boat for a decent price I will go! I will also be going to several islands in the Pacific such as Taboga, and Contadora which is in the Perlas Islands. The show current survivor show was filmed in the Perlas Islands!
You lived in Panama in the seventies, If you went to Balboa High School you may know my parents....
Im still looking for a bag for a G1 and 35mm and 90mm and some film and maybe some other small things.
Thanks for everyones help! Because of you guys I should have a more enjoyable trip!
