Today was a long travel day as I went from Buenos Aires to Panama City (a 7 hour flight which ends up being 11 to 12 hours with the early arrival at the airport and transportation to and from airports, etc.). The travel was uneventful. I found out that COPA airlines doesn’t have quite the comfort level you can find on Air Canada for international flights (made mental note). I did find out later on that you can rate and read reviews about airlines on tripadvisor, so this might be good to check out if you have a choice to make.
Anyway, I was happy to arrive at a modern, clean hotel. I paid a little more than I have been paying, but I thought it would be nice to have a nice place to stay for a few days before returning to the real comfort of home.
So, now that I’m in the Northern Hemisphere again, I have completely missed my opportunity to see whether water drains in the opposite direction as I learned on a Simpsons episode so many years ago when Bart went to Australia. Subconsciously, I probably did this on purpose, so I would have to return.
Time to enjoy Panama City now!
