Left Santa go late cause my battery died and had to find a place to charge it on a Sunday. The speed limit is 100 kph and they actually obey it cause there are a lot of cops on the road. It's the rainy season and it rains cats and dogs everyday, was bucketing down and we had to pull off and wait it out for an hour and a half. Arrived in Panama City at five and a guy drove us to the hostel thankfully , people are so helpful and friendly everywhere we go. The room is huge like 500 sq.ft. So we're able to dry all our stuff . Went down to jap jap for a great bite to eat.
I was up and gone before Tom awoke this morning which was a first. Took the underground to the bus station and ended up on a chicken bus which was quite an experience to go to the canal. What an operation it is moving those ships , just over a million ships in a hundred years, and they are building a new one cause the Americans screwed up building it in feet and inches instead of the metric measurements.
I walked downtown and along the shoreline and caught the bus back to somewhere and wondered aimlessly back and found my way to the hostel.
Excellent travel advice and service
This is my second experience working with Adventure Life. I’m sold. Jess Heuermann is an experienced traveler and provides a lot of useful information when planning a trip. These are the questions I like to ask at the outset - What’s it like to go here, there, what would you suggest, what do people report, can we add any additional side trips? Jess took the time to answer my questions and seek additional information to share with me. Petchie Colina is outstanding in helping with travel logistics and final preparations. Adventure Life has excellent guides and offers private guides and small group adventures. We enjoyed the opportunity to talk with the guides and drivers to learn more about their countries, cultures and histories. A highlight was having the guides pick local restaurants where we could share meals together. Highly recommend.

Our six-day tour in Iceland went smoothly with one exception. We had asked for two rooms each night. Somehow we were booked with one room with three beds. It could not be fixed at the first hotel in Reykjavik because the hotel was fully booked. Once informed of the problem, however, Adventure Life rebooked for two rooms for the remainder of the trip. As an 85-year-old traveler, I appreciated that one could participate at different physical levels at many of the stops. Iceland is a great place to visit but on the expensive side.

Jess was very easy going and answered all our questions. It’s not easy dealing with 6 people at once but she did an outstanding job!

Kassandra and the Adventure Life team have been incredible! Kassandra was very knowledgeable and attentive to our asks while making sure we kept within our budget. This was our first experience with a travel agent and we were blown away by the booking/initial exploration service. We will use Adventure Life again.
