My husband and I are planning a trip to Panama late this September and need help with looking around the area so we can decide where we might want to end up living. We have 13 months before making the move and we are totally in the dark. If any expats out there living on the Pacific side or Gulf of Panama know of who we can get in touch with that could drive/show us around, we'd be willing to pay for their gas plus money for their time.
We're interested in renting a home on/near the beach. We have a limited income ( social security retirement) and I've read that LasTablas is an inexpensive location where there are many expats as well as the popular Coronado area.. I'm sure you seasoned expats know of many other great little gems that we'd love to visit and learn about.
Thank you for your time and I hope to one day meet many of you and form lasting friendships in our soon to be new home :-)
