My retirement looms in the not so distant future. I am contemplating places to move to as I need to get out of Florida as soon as possible. Have narrowed down my places and the top so far is, Bocas Del Toro, Panama. Anyone out there with insight on living in Bocas Del Toro? #Retirement #BocasDelToro #Panama

#Bush had invaded #Panama and #Noriega was in hiding.

IIRC, there was zero discussion of Bush's chumminess with Noriega when he was CIA head for a year in the 70s. Another toot, another time.
