Wanted for future trips: English speaking driver/guide with good vehicle and knowledge of Boquete and surrounding areas by senior couple scouting for relocation from U.S.
You need to be a member of Boquete Ning to add comments!
Sorry, Lynn, for the mis-cue. I had just read of Lee's death and guess I still had him on my mind. Repeat: I don't have phone service to Panama yet. Might you have an email address for Fernando (the driver I was seeking that you recommended)? My email: jejose@Comcast.net. Thanks, JJ
I don't have an email for him, but I'll try to remember to give him yours when I see him next. Ross would also be good. Fernando is a native Panamanian, which might mean you'd have the opportunity to ask cultural questions from a native who speaks excellent English while you're driving around.
Another option you might consider before you visit... if you have SKYPE for phone use of your computer (free), you can choose to pay a monthly small fee to be able to call land lines, cell phones, businesses in a particular country. I pay $6/month to be able to call basically anyone in the US with my SKYPE account. It's been way worth it to ease up business calls and be able to call my friends who don't have SKYPE. I'm guessing you can probably do the same for numbers in Panama if you're making calls to realtors, hotels, etc.

Not sure if I am replying to Bonnie Williams or Gloria Cruz? Please let me know the answer to that, and you can respond directly to me at jejose@comcast.net. Please send information about your background and experience. My wife Linda and I live near Nashville, TN. I tried to reply directly to the email address you gave but Windows cannot find the email address gloriabbsboquete@hotmail.com. Please give me correct address.
Jim, that's the address I have, and that's the address I use to contact Gloria. Try it again, and if that doesn't work I'll have Glorida contact you. I suggest you contact as many guides as are recommended and compare their prices. I've heard there is quite a disparity.

Lee, thanks for the referral. I don't have phone service to Panama yet. Might you have an email address?

I agree. SKYPE is worth having for long distance and international calls. Ten dollars credit lasts me all year.

You are responding to Bonnie. You have to use the email address or phone number she gave you to contact Gloria.
