Panama Update #70

Panama Update #70
October 21, 2008

The last couple of days we spent a lot of time on the itinerary for our trip to the states in December. Nikki has a conference in San Francisco from Dec. 15-20. We extended our return trip to Panama until December 27, thinking Nikki's mom and Red might come visit us in San Francisco. In the end we figured out a reasonable flight for us to visit them in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho (we fly into Spokane, Washington). We plan to spend 3 nights there then go to Los Angeles to visit my Aunt Betty (who is celebrating her 85th birthday this year). We could only fit in 2 nights in LA becasue we have to return to SF on the 26th to catch our flight back to Panama. The airlines would not let us change our departure to Panama to LA. It is a lot of flying again, like the last trip I did to Florida and Texas, in a short amount of time, but we thought it was important enough to go through with it. I am hoping Nikki can get some rest on the various stops since she is usually exhausted after her conferences.
