Oh nice! Thanks for the reply. I plan to do a post soon about why we chose Panama! There were quite a few reasons - new culture for the kids, learn Spanish, family oriented culture, job reasons, and lots more. My husband researched for a year before deciding on Panama and at first, I was very against it. But now I really like it here. We have been here 6 months and already have settled in pretty well.

wow, how exciting! how are you doing on learning a new language? is it easier since you are surrounded by it, or do lots of people speak english there? sorry bout all the questions, maybe i should just wait for ur post ;)
Ask away. I'm always happy to answer questions about our crazy life. The good thing about Panama is A LOT of people speak at least some English and there are quite a few that speak lots of it. I already speak Spanish (it was my major in college and I taught it for 6 years at a 1st year level). My husband and kids do not speak Spanish, so they are slowly learning. If we had Spanish speaking friends for them to play with, it would be better and faster, but we live in a neighborhood where kids don't live at the moment. My husband is picking it up slowly through talking to contractors as we work on fixing up our house. :)
