Spring Break 2007 - revisited, originally posted on Blogspot
October 31, 2007
We just had a family of four leave after a stay with us
of ten days. I have been communicating with this
family, mainly the dad, for almost a year now as they
planned their Spring Break 2007. This vacation was
different than they normally take and so they asked a
lot of questions in advance to make sure they were
getting exactly what they wanted in their vacation.
We helped them find a hotel in Panama City and also arranged for a guide to take them around the city. This makes the transition into the vacation so much easier as it is one less thing for one to have to deal with.
Once they arrived in Bocas del Toro Panama – in the rain – we got them fed the first of many meals and took them to their cabana. They got comfortable and the sun came out. They walked around the grounds to get a feel for everything, spent some time down at the dock and then came back up for lunch. After a round of questions and a great pizza, they were pretty sure they had made the right decision for their vacation. The adventure was about to begin.
Over the next ten days, they took numerous trips to the beach. They went fishing. They found dolphins. They made friends and most importantly they made memories. I am certain that the memories of this trip will last a long long time.
