<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Things to know when traveling as a tourist in Panama...before three months are up you have to leave the country for at least 72 hrs and then re-enter...or when you do leave you have to take a cab to Immigration office on Ave. Cuba and spend 3 hrs (if you are lucky) getting copies of your passport, new photos, and finger printed BEFORE you are allowed to leave the country... oh don't forget the $50 / mo fee for extending your stay... here I am in the back of the cab going back to fetch my luggage at the airport...Thumb black from the fresh ink of my fingerprint </span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Dawn at Air Panama... Beware of Panamanian Holidays... to complete the story of yesterday...Air Panama took my boarding pass when they turned me away and sent me to immigrations.. when I returned the next day it was the 4th Holiday to be celebrated by Panama.. their freedom from Spain... no one I recognized was working from the day before was in yet... mind you it's 5am to catch the 6am flight to Corazon de Jesus a small the island air strip in San Blas... from there I will board a launch(a?) to be taken to the anchorage of the Dream, a beautiful mono-hull I will be guest on for the next 3 days</span><br />
