Sure I was standing in line at the check-in area, but my mind was somewhere else. I was staring off into space, wondering what it might be like to have a real-sized baggage carousel in my apartment when the compact woman in front of me turned around and stared me down the way you might upon someone calling you a racial slur.

You never really know a country until you've seen it from the air. I don't care how many times you have traversed the Pan-American Highway or off-roaded it to secluded beach fronts, the true essence and landscape of a country is the part that has not yet been plowed down for your transportation pleasure. My first flight within Panama, from David to Panama City, proved this theory.

Leaving Panama is always sad for me, just because I know it will be a while before I get to eat fried hot dogs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner again. Exiting a Panama airport is usually very simple, as long as you follow some guidelines, which I have interspersed below with several little giggles from my last trip. Remember though, that my expertise is in crow management, so if any of my advice is off beam, I am not the one to blame.

Air travel in Panama is as dependable as a blind man in an Easter egg hunt.

Panama City is already one of my favorite cities in the world and when you arrive here, you want to be prepared. A friend of mine asked me what he should bring for his short-term visit and I told him to figure it out himself. When he arrived with two large tubes of bamboo and a Velcro fanny pack I decided that there should be at least a short list of 5 extremely basic things that the pre-Panamanian vacationer should have in their suitcase, trunk, parcel, jiffy bag, or whatever vessel you happen to pack your clothes in. You are not limited to these 5 things though. Once you have them, you can bring anything else you want.
