Panama City

Right, I meant go upstairs to departures, not arrivals which obviously you just arrived. My bad. Anyway, you schmucks are paying WAY too much for cabs and you need to stop doing that. The cab fares are regulated and if you are too chickenshit to call these cab drivers on how they constantly rip you off, I just don't understand it. Again, let's look at what gas prices have done recently Ummmm, they have gone down. That means cab drivers are doing well compared to the last few years. So get your shit together.

Landed last night, worked like a dream, first guy said 30 ,I laughed, cab right behind him said 25 ,I said 15 he said ok off to the trump! I got in late at 2 am spirit flight, got one right in front of trump, she wanted 200 , worked her down to 100 right up to the apt, Cuban girl 19 hot, excellent service BBBJ, awesome fuck, called it the night, funny shit I'm staying on 36th floor, get up early to go by pool, open door hot hot girl from Cali walking out apt one door down from mine (super hot) said Hi on her way by, started talking she wanted 200, offered 100 bam nailed it, though her in hot shower together, another awesome BBBJ, even better fuck several dif positions 'stayed like 2 hrs, hit it off well going to pool with her tomorrow! Haven't been here in almost 3 years didn't think I was got to be crazy about, but must say so far a awesome start to a trip!

So just a point of clarification as I have not been thru Tocumen before. Upstairs is DEPARTURES and not arrivals. That makes more sense to me but please confirm or assist.

Thanks!!

See you all on Thursday!

Yep! Upstairs is departures o viajeros de salida, when you get out of panama, youll be in departures and when arriving to panama, downstairs in arrivals.

I have played around the world and I am a high Roller in Vegas at the Hard Rock. I am not looking to make the big kill here but I am staying at Veneto and the things I need to know:

1. Table Limits. I do NOT want to stand out in the crowd. Is $25 a safe table minimum or is it $5?

2. Continuous shuffle or hand shuffle. I want hand shuffle. Where and how do I find it?

3. I have studied the odds for PTY and expect to win big but that's all relative so I want to stay under the radar but bring home about 10 k in 1 week. Thoughts?

4. Additional. You tell me.

I have been around the tables for a long time and understand the game. Any insights are appreciated!

This is true, you can walk upstairs to the departure area and catch a cab for as low as $12, which is the fee for regular yellow cabs from anywhere in the city towards the airport and viceversa.

I don't know why you meatheads won't listen to me. Go upstairs to arrivals and you can get a cab into town for $15. If the first one won't take $15 the next one will, or the next one. Fuck Uber. I have done this at least five times now.

Or, fuck around making cell phone calls and pay $35 and have to give your credit card information, and face 'cancellation fees. ' Whatever floats your boat.

Hats off to your diligence (truly good work). However, when you call and specifically ask on the phone, they are obligated to give you the official line.

I am telling you practical info. Hope that is somewhat useful as well. I spent a lot of time in the business area which is out in the open in the lobby and over two nights I saw handful of working girls brought in by mongers with no problem.

Thing is, some of them actually told me if the guests would be "chicas de compania" and some of those were hotels where they don't give you too much trouble for girls.

[JamesPearle]

Unless the hotel bill is a problem for you, I would not think about staying anywhere except the Trump. Best hotel in the city and they don't nickel and dime you on anything. Much less these stupid chica charges.

I'm considering a trip to Panama City in late July, and I've been reading the forum to get information on which to make a decision. I need some help from some of you veterans, because some of the information was ambiguous.

ACCOMODATIONS.

I was disappointed to learn that most of the high-end hotels were not chica-friendly. This is a big issue with me, since I always use take-out and bring the girl back to my room for a relaxed session. I'm looking for a high-end hotel that is chica-friendly and within reason, I'm not price sensitive. Are the following hotels high-end and chica-friendly?

1, Trump Hotel 2. Saville Suites 3. El Principe Are there any others?

I think its most a hit or miss once you are in the premises, I did all my info gathering thru the telephone.

Thanks again I remember you saying this, do you think it will work like 2-3 am? My flight from Fll lands I think at 2 am!

That, I don't know. Never gotten in to PTY at night. It probably depends on if any flights are departing at say 4 am.

I know it's on here somewhere, is there a list of short term hotels on here? Love motels?

Thanks

Very good work and thanks for the effort.

Correction: Principe was most definitley girl friendly as of 10 days ago. I paraded a couple of them in front of reception and not a word.

GEEEESH! Such a fuc# pain in the ass. I will just use the rip off taxistas. Thanks for the input. Gauntman - 1st drink on me next Thursday!

You can also try easy taxi, I've used it in Bogota and here in Panama with no problems at all, arrival times are under 5 min once a cab picks the app call.
