Panama: The Beginning

We left for Panama on January 16. Our flight didn't leave until the 17th but since we needed to be at the airport at an awful 4am, we headed to Toronto a day early.

We stayed at the Hilton in a room across the hall from mom and dad. It was quite a modern hotel and the two beds in our room were set up with the backs of the headboards touching. Logan's favourite part were the two tvs and two phones in the room.

Jacob took laps around the beds!

After a failed attempt to going swimming (we realized once we got changed and went downstairs that it was an OUTDOOR poool), we met mom and dad for supper and then went to bed early for a few hours of sleep!

We woke up early, caught a shuttle to the airport, checked our luggage and then waited.

We boarded the plane and took off. Both kids slept for about 1 hour of the 5.5 hour flight. They were very well behaved and quite enjoyed watching videos on the DVD player that we brought to pass time. It was pretty cramped on the flight and Scott and I have since decided that we don't want to fly with a lap baby again! Since Jacob didn't have a seat, there was a lot of juggling of people and stuff!

This is the only picture I took on the flight...it was squishy.

After 5.5 hours on the plane, we arrived in Panama! We grabbed our luggage and headed outside (to the warmth!) to find our bus.

It was a long bus ride and despite being exhausted, the kids were great. Our tour guide told us lots about Panama on the way to the resort.

Finally, we arrived at the Royal Decameron, 1 of only 3 resorts in Panama. We got our keys, found our room, had supper and went to bed. It had been a long day! I didn't even take any pictures!
