While I’m just not starting to get my apartment / life back in order after Winter Break and the ski trip in West Virginia, everyone else is already working on planning for our Spring Breaks. Some of my friends are steadfastly trying to convince me to go on a cruise with them – I just don’t see myself doing well on a cruise so I think I’m going to suggest checking out Panama. I was considering Mexico while some other friends wanted to go to South America, Panama seems to be a great compromise since it’s right in the middle.
I’d really love to be there for Carnival. I can imagine that the Panama hotels would be more expensive then but I think it’d definitely be worth the experience. Evidently there’s a town about 130 miles from Panama City called Las Tablas; it’s supposed to be an absolutely amazing place to celebrate Carnival. Besides Carnival and the Panama Canal, it looks like there are a ton of interesting things to see and do in and around Panama City. Since I’m planning on going with a group of college students we’re definitely going to want to check out the nightlife in the city. Other than that I’m sure shopping, heading to the beach, and eating amazing food will probably take up most of our time. Can’t wait for Panama!
