👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 Back in Panama 15 years later... now with kids!⁠ ⁠ Serge and I first visited Panama back in 2006. We were already 7 years into our relationship by then (we're on year 23 now lol) and it was one of our most memorable pre-Top Flight Family trips!⁠ ⁠ (Swipe to photos 3 and 4 to see Baby Carmen and Serge, and my unfortunate bangs! 😅)⁠ ⁠ We had so much fun in Panama City, consuming all the sancocho and Panamanian rum we could handle. We toured the Panama Canal, visited the rainforest in Gamboa, and we learned a lot about the Kuna Indians, an indigenous group who make San Blas Islands their home. ⁠ ⁠ FYI: These islands have now been officially renamed Guna Yala, as that's the name the indigenous folks use.⁠ ⁠ It felt a bit surreal to come back to the same place, this time with a tween and teen in tow! But this is why we love revisiting destinations. Every time you go back, you're a different person, and because of that, you see the destination through new eyes.⁠ ⁠ And of course, it was fun to re-experience Panama with our friends @oskaranddan! ⁠ ⁠ This was a super chill trip. Our family was coming off a rewarding, but physically draining trip to Turkiye. And the guys had just been on a rewarding, but physically draining trip to Bolivia. ⁠ ⁠ So we were very much on the same page as far as taking it easy in Panama. 😅 It was just a lot of hanging out, sharing great conversations and laughs.⁠ And we spent way more time than I care to admit to in the mall! 🤣 ⁠ When you travel as much as we do, not every trip can be super ambitious. So if you're looking for an in-depth travel guide to Panama, we don't have one for you, unfortunately! ⁠ ⁠ But if you want to watch friends enjoy a destination in a super relaxed way, be sure to watch the Panama vlogs on both our and @oskaranddan's YouTube channels!⁠ It was so fun to do this crossover episode and each see the trip through each other's eyes!⁠ ⁠ #panamacity #panama #22citiesin2022 #familytravel #travelwithkids
