Nicaragua and Panama

Tomorrow we head off for our summer holiday. We will spend tomorrow night in Coral Gables, a spit away from Miami Airport, and then Friday fly to Managua in Nicaragua.

Last year we holidayed this same time of year in Costa Rica – the howler monkey that flies across the top of this blog will tell you how much we adored it. My other half has little or no flexibility on her work holiday allocation, unlike me, which may not come as a total surprise to you, so our desire to see a lot of Latin America is hindered by these two weeks being the optimum time to getaway. Hindered because the further south in the Americas one goes it is winter and many countries in Central America are as hot as hades this time of year.

Anyhow the nearer to the Equator the more temperate the climate, so after Costa Rica last year we have plumped for Nicaragua and then Panama the two countries that sandwich Costa Rica in the isthmus joining North and South America.

In Nicaragua we are staying on the Pacific Coast in the Rivas region, then we take the 90-minute flight to Panama City, which is where we will base ourselves for 4 days before ending the trip with a couple of days back in Miami.

On Saturday when the season kicks off this Addick will be busily testing Nicaragua’s wireless technology!
