Paradise in Panama ~ Boquete Outdoor Adventures

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

Laura’s grandfather called her up a few weeks ago and said, “Let’s go to Panama.” I bet you wish you had a grandfather like that, huh? Of course, we didn’t know anything about Panama, which is crazy because it turns out this place has it all.  We know that now through the wonderful, selfless help of John Miller at Boquete Outdoor Adventures.  Bear in mind, we called John pretty much out of the blue and haven’t booked anything with him for this particular trip.  Still, he has given Laura pages of email advice on traveling within and around Panama.  He has been wonderfully helpful and I couldn’t imagine going anywhere near Panama without taking one his fantastic trips.  John’s focus is on custom trips and can include whitewater and sea kayaking, multi-sport and family adventures.
