[QUOTE=Admin][blue]Please use this thread to announce your travel plans and your intentions to meet up with other Forum Members.[/blue][/QUOTE]I will be going to Panama City March 13, leaving on the 27th. This will be my first trip. If any of you are going to be there at the same time, I would love to hook up for a beer and exchange stories.
I am planning my first trip to Panama around the 23rd of May. I am 61 years young, and am of course into mongering, and like to check out new faces and places.
I should be in Panama about 1 week, then on to Costa Rica for my 5th trip there.
I would like to meet up with any other forum member who perhaps has been there before and knows the lay of the land around Panama City. Please PM me if you are going to be in Panama around that time. Last of May 2006.

Will be in David for a week if anyone is interested in getting together. First day there will be the 27th of May. PM me if interested.
I'm in PTY now, should be around for at least another week, plans are soft.
Not sure whether the Private Message feature works for me or not, it did a few months ago but recently it's had issues. Shoot me a PM anyways.
Hey Guys,
I will be making another trip to Panama in a couple of days. I am thinking of leaving Thur. 7/20/06 for Panama City.
Anyone going to be there at the same time around July 20 - 24/25 give me a holler, and we can hook up.
I am not an expert on Panama ......yet, but do know some good spots to hang out and have fun.
PM me if you will be going about the same time.
I will also probably go to David, Panama too, as well as Jaco Beach and San Jose in CR.

Update 7/19/06 ..........
I was contacted by Jim B. from Texas about meeting in Panama City.
Jim and I will meet at Veneto's Casino - in the lobby - between 6 and 6:30 PM Saturday evening - 7/22/06.
We don't have any plans except to perhaps go acrosss the street to Manolo's Restaurant for a bite to eat, and then hang out later, checking out several of the casinos, night spots, and of course - the 'chicas'.
If you are around, please stop by and join us...........Steve

I am going to David again this week end for a couple of weeks if anyone wants to meet up and learn the area. Steve I tried to pm you but you need to read your messages and clean out your mail box. David is starting to hop. I hear there are some really great things in the making - A new upscale club. Just a rumor but from a reliable source. Hope to meet up with some of you in Chiriqui
Does anyone know a good local guide/boat on the Azuero Peninsula? It is the bump between Panama City and David; think Santiago area. I will be down next week visiting my in-laws so mongering will be impossible. If I can't chase women, I might as well fish. The shelf is only a few miles out from the beach along the peninsula so the billfishing is great. They are often caught by the locals on handlines.
If anyone knows a local guide, it would be appreciated. There are a couple new tourist operations but I think it is more fun to fish a local panga.
Have read many of your posts and I thank you all for participating. I am going to be in Costa Rica for Aug 31 Sept 1 and 2 then off to Panama for my first time. I will be there a week! Plan to do a lot of traveling the country. Any help or ideas would be great. If anyone else is in town I would love to hang out and see what we can find. I love non pros and like to see what I can find in that area but of course go with the pros when that does not work out. PM me and lets get together.
I hope to go see the Kula, David, River rafting, The Canal, Bocas Islands and maybe more. Of course Panama city also.
Are disco clubs open on weekdays and is there any action?
I know a beach tout from Cartagena named Billy, He might come up and show you around!!
thanks for the offer fantasy, sorry i didn't get it in time.
we went fishing out of pedaci. there is a decent guide who lives across from the gas station. his panga was $50 a day plus gas. it all worked out to $90 per trip.
the motel across from the bank is nice and the ac works.
we brought our own fishing poles but there is a nearby scuba shop that rents them for $50 per day (too much).
billfish are out of season but we had fun. i may try to get back around christmas when fishing is better. don't bring lures, buy the rapellas that are active locally at the scuba shop.
watch out for a speed trap coming into las tablas! the guy must be trying to make his car payment, etc. he stopped me but let me go for free after a bit of chatting.
good luck,
ot
Experienced in Costa Rica, Thailand and the US, but never been to Panama. I arrive on Dec 28 and depart New Years Day. I am staying at the Venento and hear there is plenty to keep me busy in the general area. Nice to know there is some talent parked-out in the bar downstairs. LOL
I am wondering if there are any experienced Panama experienced mongers that will be in-town during that timeframe and available to share your experiences? I will gladly buy lunch/dinner and drinks if someone is interested.
