GRASIAS POR VISITARNOS 🤝🇵🇦

[@DestinationEarth]

Ah yes, getting familiar with your new area is important! It can be amazing how different pricing can be. Isn't it weird that grocery stores don't want you to film? The city looks wonderful and warm - my kind of place!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks. We have been very pleased with our time in Panama. More to come as we explore the surrounding area and do some fun day trips. Safe travels, John and Bev

[@emilyfathauer3037]

Loved seeing the neighborhood around your Airbnb…so much to explore! Love the corny jokes 🤪 I would be weak for that raspberry macaroon also!!

[@RetirementTravelers]

It was so delicious!!! We just really love exploring new places! Panama has a lot to offer. Hope you get to go sometime.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

I’ve seen the Paul bakery in London too! That macaron looked amazing!!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks. It was very yummy. Glad you enjoyed the video. John and Bev

[@erinaustin9968]

I’m so glad you made this video! I’ve heard Panama isn’t very walkable but you got around great.

[@RetirementTravelers]

The Cinta Costera is wonderful for walking in downtown and the metro is very clean and nice as well. The road system isn’t great once you get outside the city. Safe travels, John and Bev

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

What a fun video! The city is stunning and so clean! I’m not sure what I expected, but it looks lovely! I remember your mining gold video… been hooked on John’s comedy ever since! 🤣! Have fun! ~Cara 😊

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks for watching! We are having a great time in Panama 🇵🇦!!! Hope all is well with your travels. John and Bev

[@beverlyromine1224]

Another great video!! Loved seeing videos of all the friendly people. Great city! Thanks for the tour of the neighborhood! Great news about the Eliquis!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks. The people here have been wonderful and friendly. We are having a great adventure in Panama. John and Bev

[@beverlyromine1224]

@@RetirementTravelers Brought back memories of that beautiful city! We stopped at “ Paul’s” there and a couple of cities in Spain & France. Yum 😋 We have a picture of our Paul in front of the Paul sign. A little cheesey but I think you’re into cheesey, corny, funny, fun, etc 😀

[@RetirementTravelers]

We are cheesy and corny. Gabriel showed us where you stayed, which is just a few blocks from us.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

First of all, that is the cutest thumbnail in the history of ever!

[@RetirementTravelers]

That’s a great compliment, but with the bar so high, where do we go from here. 🤣

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@RetirementTravelers I believe in you! 🙌

[@hannahcoy8644]

Great seeing the neighborhood you all are staying in and seeing a little bit of Panama. Great tips. The biggest shock was the medication prices! Such a huge difference from the US.

[@RetirementTravelers]

We are having a great time in Panama and yes the price difference for prescription drugs was amazing and you don’t even need a prescription. Thanks for following along and we can’t wait to show you more!

[@travellingwithcrowsfeet]

Heelllooo! Great video, just when we thought John's antics couldn't get any more cheesier 🤣 😆 enjoy yourselves, thankyou for the tips, and great music , as always.

[@RetirementTravelers]

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thank you so much. Hopefully you can follow along on our journey around the world. Thanks again, John and Bev

[@bradmartin237]

Fun times exploring the “hood.” Hang in there with the Spanish! Mask or no mask, it will make more sense in time. Keep up the cheesy antics, John.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks. Making progress with words and basic phrases. Always “try” at restaurants and other public places to speak Spanish. We’ve had a nice time in Panama, but it has gone by so fast. Awesome trip to Boquete last week, which is very different from Panama City. And there will be more cheese in the next video. 🤣 John and Bev

[@PeacefulPotatoYoga]

This was sooo fun to watch my friend ! I can tell all the hard work you put into this channel ❤️❤️🎉🎉 new fan here 😊 see you soon

You guys make me laugh...thank you for sharing😎😁

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks for watching and it makes us happy to know it made you laugh. John and Bev

[@brucearthur5108]

I'm planning to go to Panama this spring and I spent the morning searching for Panama tourist vlogs on KZbin as research. Your Panama videos were the best made ones I found. Engaging and informative.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thank you so much. It is really great to hear that because we put much time and effort into producing good vlogs. Let us know if we can help your visit in any way. Hope you can join us for our journey around the world. John and Bev

[@AKim-uu4hg]

Always so fun watching your videos and listening to the music! It truly brightens my day! (P.S. If you see me commenting like crazy on your videos, it's because I'm binge watching your videos on a quiet Sunday night!) Thank you for giving me some happy uplifting content to watch!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thank you so much! We have BIG smiles on our faces! You are welcome to watch and comment as much as you like. We love reading them and knowing that they bring you joy! (You’ve made our week!) John & Bev

[@Anonymous-One1]

I laughed at John running across Panama. I do similar pre-planned funny things, too. One of mine was for my birthday we went to Vegas, so I could race an exotic car on a road track. Before we went to the track, we stopped at the Hello Kitty truck right after we landed at the airport. My first Facebook post was a picture of me in front of Hello Kitty saying, "This wasn't what I had in mind for my birthday!" I had been thinking of it for weeks. Panama City looks great!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks for sharing your fun travel story. You must have a sense of humor in this world. 🤣 Thanks for following along with us. Happy journeys, John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/

[@guillermogouldburn763]

Nice video. Try recording with your phone in supermarkets, a camera is too obvious. Cheers and enjoy Panama!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks for watching and some good advice. We will be more clever next time. 😉 John and Bev

[@bronwynquinn4477]

What a fabulous first day!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Yes it was! John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/

HI...Enjoyed your video. I was born in Colon_Canal Zone Brat. The few family from Colon left and all living in Panama City with some here in the US. It was good to hear some of the prices there. I have not visited since I was 15-yrs old now 73. I hope still to visit before I go away & almost think of living in David. My relatives mostly keep touch with my sisters. I heard they have places like Sam's Club & Costco with a different name. If I lived there would join for sure. I'm diffidently a bargain shopper & look for best low prices . I look forward to seeing more of your travels and maybe another video in Panama. Thanks for sharing your fun.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks for the note. We had a wonderful time in Panama and spent the first month of our adventures around the world there. We spent the majority of the time in the Panama City area, but did make a trip up to Boquete, where there are many expats. Here is a link to that video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/paHMpZyDa7KHa9U Many blessings and good health to you in 2022. John and Bev

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Good news: you can get all the American brands! Bad news: they are incredibly expensive!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Prices are truly all over the place in Panama. We would say in general that labor items are very low cost, imported brand names very high.

[@crystaljames9455]

Those carrots! That’s hilarious

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks. Happy journeys, John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/

@@RetirementTravelers You Welcome ..🤗..Nice Couple..God Bless You.🌎❤️💯

[@cesardotorlocodominguez702]

Funny your video until they got to the drugs. This sad reality of such expensive medicines is due to the fact that only five companies distribute and market medicines in Panama, which is a monopoly or a mafia, apart from that, they themselves create false shortages in the social security fund, thus forcing them to make more expensive direct purchases As you can see, it is a kidnapping. There should be real freedom when anyone who can bring the medicine does it, so maybe this abuse will end

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks for the note. In the United States we pay $500 for the same drug we paid only $80 in Panama. Panama prescriptions are much cheaper than the US, so not sure I understood your comment. Hope you have a great day. John and Bev
