A Man, a Plan, a Canal, Panama!

[canyonwalker]

Every year we start discussing early in the year, "Where should we go at the end of the year?" And every year it seems we end up putting off not only the planning but even choosing where to go until relatively late. This year we actually decided a month ago, in mid November. We're going to Panama.

Yes, we'll see the Panama Canal. From a young age my idea of "What I want to be when I grow up?" was to be an architect/civil engineer designing things like bridges and skyscrapers. Though I switched at age 12 to computer science I still took civil engineering classes in college— and won two awards in a design contest. There's no way I go to Panama and not see the Panama Canal.

But the canal is not all we'll see. We'll visit Panama for 8-9 days. We'll spend several days in the countryside seeing things like waterfalls and bird sanctuaries. Then we'll spend a few days in Panama City, riding a ferry through the canal, visiting the old town, and more.

We leave for our trip Saturday night.

You might like goals_on_dw or journalsandplanners for planning ahead.

Go you! Panama sounds like a beautiful place to visit. I agree tha the canal was an epic feat of engineering.

I've seen you around my circle. We may have friends and/or communities in common. Today I was browsing Latest Things so that could also be it.
