Every three months I must leave the country. All tourists do in Costa Rica, to get their passports renewed. I took a trip to Panama's ruggedly beautiful Pacific coast. I walked on wide flat beaches that seemed to go on forever, climbed craggy cliffs and lava rock walkways, stayed in cattle country with no steak to be found and a has-been surf town that was half asleep. Check it out travelexperiencecostarica.com/2010/12/08/trip-to-panamas-pacific-coast/
and let me know what you think.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the reply but I don't really understand your question. You said "LV, 90 day visa? How? What do you mean?
You just go through customs and cross the border, then you come back.
