I am going to go along with the advice from Bob Wolfe. If you are staying anyplace near a paved road buses and taxi's are far more cost effective than renting a car. If you decide you want to take a trip to Volcan or other remote destination rent a…

Barry: I have rented cars in David, right at the airport, from Dollar, Thrifty and Avis. The biggest problem I have had is getting anyone to give the insurance exemptions if you have the appropriate credit card coverage. Not everyone understands how…

My wife, Linda, and I are retired. She retired from the State of Florida Lottery Department, and I retired from the U.S. Navy and the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. We have lived and traveled extensively around the world (both military & personal) and love the little unplanned adventures we have encountered along the way. I don't recall how we learned of Boquete but we both love the Spanish culture and its people. and are very excited about our first visit to Panama, and particularly Boquete. Looking forward to meeting the locals and ex-pats.
