Question
Lorena:

I am interested in returning to Panama for a week long visit
sometime withing the next few months.
I lived/was based in the former Canal Zone at Albrook AFB back in the mid 60's and am very interested in revisiting an area that I basically fell in love with.
I know my way around for the most part but, with all the changes, I would feel more comfortable travelling with someonw who knows their way around, speaks both excellent English/Spanish (my Spanish is passable but somewhat limited at times).
I am interested in a dedicated driver, basically 8AM to 5PM
daily for approximately 3-5 days.  I will pay approximately 100-150 USD per day PLUS all meals, drinks, gas and fees/tolls associated with travelling around the former CZ and environs of Panama City.
Can you recommend a dedicated driver who would be willing to escort me around on a "journey of rediscovery"?

Many Thanks for any info that you can provide!

Sincerely,

R.D. (Bob) Guthrie

Answer
Hi Bob,
Panama has changed a lot, specially that area, so a driver is a good idea.
It would also be safer, as Panama has changed from a safe country to something very different.
You can contact Amilcar at agonzalez@cwmovil.blackberry.com, they should be able to do the job. (They can also pick you up at the airport)
In case they cannot, just let me know so I can offer other options.
Good luck and let me know if you need help with anything else.
