We traveled back to the States for the first time since our move to Panama. We flew to Raleigh, North Carolina to celebrate my niece’s first birthday. Family came in from all over including my parents from New York and a lot of my brother-in-law’s family from California. It was a full week of familyContinueContinue reading “Logan turns 1!”

Our Biggest Challenge (continued)
The saga continues with our endeavor to find a good school situation for the boys, primarily AJC. PJC is still very happy in his pre-school and we even added afternoon lessons with a teacher in Spanish. He loves both! His Spanish teacher says he talks A LOT in both English and Spanish. It’s true, thatContinueContinue reading “Our Biggest Challenge (continued)”
Visiting Veraguas
When the public schools had a week vacation between their trimesters, we decided to take advantage and explore. We considered quite a few destinations: an all inclusive in Santa Clara, a quick trip to Medellin, the Pearl Islands. Ultimately, because of time constraints, we decided to venture three hours into the highlands of Panama toContinueContinue reading “Visiting Veraguas”
Our biggest challenge: School
When making the decision to move to Panama, our biggest concern was what to do about school for the kids. After our move, it has proved to be our biggest challenge. AJC was supposed to start Kindergarten in August (right when we arrived), so figuring out a school solution was definitely first on the priorityContinueContinue reading “Our biggest challenge: School”
BC the Birthday Boy
We were in Panama in time to celebrate BC’s birthday. I’m not allowed to tell how old he is because he has a Peter Pan complex worse than mine. We were in Panama City the weekend before his birthday so I actually did some research and made a reservation at Tomillo in Casco Viejo. TheContinueContinue reading “BC the Birthday Boy”
Home.
After a year of planning, several logistical rollercoasters, and an idyllic Americana summer of Buffalove, we finally arrived home. To our new home that is. We’re now settling in and ready to start our new life. We flew from Toronto to Panama which was luckily uneventful. We spent a few days in Panama City adjusting.ContinueContinue reading “Home.”
Buffalove Summer 2018
Before our big move to Panama, we spent 3 weeks visiting family in Buffalo. All my summers were spent here, and the area is filled with nostalgia for me. It also provides the boys with the quintessential Americana summer. We’re talking s’mores, parades, dinner in our wet bathing suits, ice cream cones, and lots ofContinueContinue reading “Buffalove Summer 2018”
Saying Goodbye
June was a whirlwind of a month. It was spent wrapping up our life in California and preparing for our transition. It was busy, stressful, bittersweet, and filled with heartfelt moments of saying goodbye to the community that we built while living in Santa Cruz. BC spent the first part of the month in PanamaContinueContinue reading “Saying Goodbye”
Memorial Day Memories
This three day weekend was another opportunity to savor some of our last days in California. Brian left for Panama on Sunday night. He is going to be gone for three weeks and will spend that time completing the business transaction to take over our new property. He really wanted to take advantage of hisContinueContinue reading “Memorial Day Memories”
Down at the Boardwalk
The most iconic experience in Santa Cruz is visiting the Boardwalk. It’s a vintage amusement park experience right off the beach. To be honest, it’s super crowded and a bit trashy, but the essence of classic summer fun is still there. The boys love visiting so we decided to spend one of the first weekendContinueContinue reading “Down at the Boardwalk”
