AboutLorena Milanes Expertise I can answer questions regarding Panama, its people, culture, places to visit, places to watch out for, hotels to stay, how much your taxi fare should be... specific information on getting around on a safe manner.
Experience I was born and raised in Panama, educated in American schools. Since I enjoy all related to Panama history, I try to keep myself updated on local happenings in the subject. I also enjoy traveling and the internet seems a wonderful tool to use, specially when you are your own guide (which I usually am)- so I am just willing to give some of the help I have received back.

2 Questionswe are retiring to panama in 2009 and need to purchase health insurance. Can you recommend who to go to for this.
also could you recommend a freight forwarder. We have a household and car to ship to San Felix in Chiriqui province.
Answer Hi Tina,
I can recommend the following:
Health Insurance- I can imagine you are retiring to Chiriqui as it is your ship to address. There is health insurance in Chiriqui provided by their local hospital Mae Lewis which is an option, pricewise, I understand it is the best as they have a special plan for retirees.
From previous experience with family members, this hospital is very good.
Forwarder - I do not know a local Chiriqui forwarding company but however I can recommend Quality Freight Corp, their email is info@qualityfreightcorp.com, maybe they can help you locate or give the service to Chiriqui.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
Lorena
