We have a few BIG projects for the new home. We are moving the laundry from the garage (can you believe it) to the.....yep....laundry room.....who would have thought! Also we are adding a shower to the 1/2 bath. Once those are done, I'll add a pocket door from bedroom 3 to the new 'full' bath.

This guy/gal is a frequent visitor to our lagoon. We are glad that he/she likes other places to "sun" rather than our backyard. The other side of the lagoon is just fine!

This was the last stop on our snorkeling / deep boarding adventure in Bocas del Toro. As you can see, the island is "picture perfect." Music: Arrow, Caribbean Party, "Don't Touch My Tempo"

One of our trips was a road trip to Star Fish beach. Road is a kind term. Dodge the crater is closer to the truth. Once we arrived at Boca del Drago, we hiked a beautiful trail to the beach. Since the beach was fully commercialized, we found a picturesque spot just around the corner and enjoyed a long relaxing swim. Music: NovaMenco: Gypsy Fusion: Journey

One our our excursion in Bocas del Toro was to take a day trip to snorkel and deep board. Great fun and beautiful. Music: "Blue Ska" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

One of our awesome excursions was a day of sailing with Maurice from Bocas Sailing. First we sailed to Dolphin Bay to watch dolphins play. Then he took us to two excellent snorkeling spots. Another great retirement adventure!

One of our short excursions was to the popular Red Frog beach. Not that we saw any red frogs, but the beach was beautiful. Music: Chris Combette: Putumayo Presents: Caribe! Caribe!: La Nati

Sandy's friend Ann hosted us in Panama City for several days. She was a wonderful host and tour guide. We got to see the city, canal and jungle (not all in this video) while there. This video shows the different views of the city that she showed us.
