Want to meet Ex Pats Dec 2012

I live in Boquete (outside of David) and we will be here during that time. We would be happy to share our experience of living in Panama. Also to give you information for renting verses buying property and the best schools in the area.

Florence

Hi Florence
Thank you, that would be fab!
We plan to visit the David area so if you let us know where and when we will be there!
Lorna

Hi Lorna

My husband and I are moving to Panama city on Nov 2nd (ahhhh) and we will defo be in Panama in December if you are still free on the 22nd.

Can I ask you why you are not considering Panama city?

My number in the UK is 07740064196 if you wish to catch up before we go

Take care

Johanna

Hi Johanna,
Thank you for your reply!
How exciting! I bet you are counting the days!
We would love to meet up with you on the 22nd if you are around in the evening.
We are not considering the city for a number of reasons...
We moved from the London area about 8 years ago to escape the 'rat race' so to speak and we now live on Hayling Island on the South Coast because the sea is really important in our lives (this is why we are looking in the areas we mentioned as our ultimate home will be a beach front property)
The areas are both within an hour of cities (PC & David) which is  commutable if necessary and something Rob is well used to doing!
Schools are a sticking point for us at the moment...there is no way we would be able to afford Public schools based on info we have so far!
We don't want to impose on what we expect is a crazy time for you at the moment, but we would be happy to come up to London before you leave and meet up for a coffee, don't worry, we will not be offended if you can't fit us in ;-)

Warm Regards
Lorna

Hi Lorna

You are right, these last days in the UK are madness and unfortunately we are in Leeds at the moment because I need to sort out a number of things for work before I go, so a meeting may be difficult..   However, I will be keeping my UK job while in Panama, so my number stays the same if you want to text me or call closer to the date you will be in Panama; we will love to meet you.

Not that I'm an expert but I speak Spanish so feel free to let me know if you need anything.

Good Luck

Johanna

Hiya,
Thank you for getting back to us, we completely understand and will give you a call soon!
Look forward to catching up with you both!
Take care.

Hi! We are a Canadian couple in our 40s with a young son who moved to Gorgona back in August. We would be happy to meet up with you when you're in the area to give you lowdown on whatever you need.
