I love these types of reviews where the person has actually been there...this was very informative and helpful especially if I was looking to take my family. I can see why this trip was good for your soul!!

[@AbroadAbility]

Thank you so much! I tried to capture it as best I could while still enjoying being there.

[@MarvandAnnMarie]

Great video 😍... seems laid back and relaxing. I can't wait to Bocas del Toro. Red Snapper is my favorite fish... I plan on eating many!!

[@AbroadAbility]

I had no idea that was your favorite dish. I would love to see how you would showcase Bocas.

[@fanfare100]

Heyyy that's where my granny was raised. Love Bocas! My great grandfather was a mayor somewhere in Bocas and opened up the first apothecary there. Those starfish are gigantic, but try not to lift them out of the water. Like, the best way to see them is with goggles in the water and the water is so clear. One of the docks has a friendly barracuda that comes by to say hello when you are swimming in the water. The local fishermen feed it fish so its spoilt rotten. lol Hope you come back! It's very chill, and yes, the food is excellent and the people are happy-go-lucky and down to earth.

[@AbroadAbility]

Thank you for sharing! I am glad you mentioned not to lift the starfish out of the water. I didn’t even want to touch them. That barracuda must be a sight to see LOL. That’s a cool history that your family has in Bocas. 👍🏽🇵🇦

[@regineb9245]

The information is great and I enjoy all your jokes. Glad you felt that strong ancestral pull and I hope that Panama and the local officials of Bocas will rethink and improve accessibility for all. You seem so happy there! 🙂

[@AbroadAbility]

Thank you for such a heartfelt comment. I was extremely happy there. I cannot wait to go back. The ancestral pull is the perfect way to describe that feeling!

[@gualrichard]

I really love the details of the places you have traveled in Panama. I know it’s not the same as personally being there, but until I can, these videos really do help. More videos please!! He he he!

[@AbroadAbility]

Awwww thank you for that comment! I will try my best to become more consistent with releasing content 📹👍🏽🇵🇦! You just made my day! 😀

[@eddieonthegotravel]

Enjoying your videos! I’ll be in Bocas, Boquete, and David for all of March before returning to Panama City. I had to smile when I saw El Último Refugio, that’s my AirBnB host’s restaurant.

[@AbroadAbility]

Oh wow! Those are some great and drastically different places in Panama to explore! I can’t wait to hear which ones you liked the most and why.

[@eddieonthegotravel]

@@AbroadAbility I selected them for potential areas to live (except for Panama City), and also for content for my channel. I’ve been making contacts, especially in Bocas and David (fellow musicians). They are a contrast from each other, part of the journey will be enjoying what they have to offer and what might be the best fit.

[@martinknows]

I loved this video. You mixed just the right amount of narration with views of the town. And your tone and voice are very captivating and relaxing. I love the Caribbean, but have never been to Panama. When I was young I used to escape to the Bahamas and Virgin Islands when life was getting me down. Just grab a small nap sack and hitch hike to south Florida. Then bum a ride to anywhere in the Caribbean that a boat was going. Your video made feel like doing it again. Thank you for this video. I will watch the rest of your videos soon.

[@AbroadAbility]

Wow! Thank you for sharing that with me. I love the Caribbean and there was a similar feel when I was there. I want to return to see if it feels the same since they opened things back up side their Covid lockdowns. I LOVE the Bahamas by the way. Future videos on my travels there are in the making. 🇧🇸

[@myaglo3999]

Wow! I have to say, amazing job with the scenic views of these locations!!! I felt like I was there! Thank you!!!

[@AbroadAbility]

Aww! Thank you so much. Those views were easy to capture LOL. I wish I was still there. 🤣🇵🇦❤️💃🏾

[@TravelMarv1]

Thanks for sharing. Love the tips. Looking forward to visiting in the future.

[@AbroadAbility]

I would love to hear your perspective on it.

[@IGoPanama]

I live in Bocas del Toro, but on the mainland- not an island. It's a magical and peaceful place...

[@AbroadAbility]

Hello! It sure is magical. I am actually a subscriber of yours and know your pet peeve regarding people thinking that Bocas is just comprised of islands LOL. Keep up the great work! 👊🏽🇵🇦🌍

[@IGoPanama]

@@AbroadAbility Ha ha ha!! So glad my "pet peeve" is gaining traction, and hopefully it will change the ideas as to what Bocas really is!! :)

So much information is one video. Tourists are going to love your channel! Food price really sounds affordable

[@AbroadAbility]

Awww. Thank you! The food was affordable an yummy LOL.

[@ttbko]

Thank you so much for vlogging about my favourite place in the world! I visit as often as I can, having family who live on Bastsimentos. However, being older and of slightly reduced mobility, all that you say is relevant. It means, for me, sight seeing, gazing around and looking at shops is done from a stationary place. I cannot wander along, looking at my surroundings since the places I put my feet are hugely important.... a similar love for my face and a lack of wish to make my dentist richer.... Anyway, i hope you do put down roots in Bocas islands somewhere and one day, I'd like to share breakfast with you and discuss life, the universe and everything!

[@AbroadAbility]

Wow! Thank you so much for leaving this comment! I can see why you would want to visit it as often as you can. I hope to do the same. I can’t wait to see where I end up but either way, I will be in Bocas quite often. It is truly a special place. 🇵🇦

[@Ann-MD]

Very nice video. Looks very laid back. I'm a foodie so looked the snapper. Would you live there? If so why?

[@AbroadAbility]

I could eat their snapper every week. I would consider living there for part of the year. I just liked the laid back vibe and the water. When I return to Panama, I will visit Bocas again.

[@Richard-fi8od]

Excellent, informative! What was the Average Temperature in Bocas del Toro?

[@AbroadAbility]

Thank you! Let me look that up for you.

[@AbroadAbility]

It ranges from the low 80’s to the low 90’s.

[@fanfare100]

@@AbroadAbility And that's at sea level or in the islands, but there's also a nice evening breeze too. But as you go up farther into the hills it can even get chilly (at least by Panamanian standards) lol. But most people are by the sea.

[@AbroadAbility]

@@fanfare100 yes! I went to Boquete after Bocas and was cold LOL.

[@tarynnicosie846]

Thank you for a great video full of useful information. The question, I am booked for fourteen days in January as I am looking to see if it's a good fit to become an ex-pat and live there. My question is as follows, would you recommend leaving from Panama City to Bocas then going to Boquete? Or flying from Panama to David onto Boquete for a few days then go to Bocas spend time there then back to Boquete then David, and back to Panama City ? Hotel options are getting booked very quickly I am booked for Panama City and Boquete, not Bocas which I differently want to visit and feel it out ( I am a free spirit ). LOL Again thank you, living your dreams why not !!!

[@AbroadAbility]

That is a hard question to answer. I think it depends on which areas you think you are going to like the most and would need to spend more time in. It was cheaper during my visit (as well as a time saver) to fly to Bocas from PTY, then I took a van ride from Bocas to Boquete. I had a relocation tour that ended in Panama City so to save time and money, it was recommended that I do it that way. I worked my way down the coast exploring certain towns along the way.

@@AbroadAbility Thank you for your reply,

[@peggysmith5332]

I love the video... My paternal side of the family were born in bocas del Toro. They currently living in Panama city. I can't wait for my son and I to visit. Traveling from new York to Panama. Can you please suggest the best air port or an app to book a flight this is my first time. Also I will have some prescription medication for my son. Do they give you a hard time... or have to show infro?tia

[@AbroadAbility]

That is going to be an awesome trip for you and your son. Some of my fondest memories of my mother were during our travels together. I am not sure about the best airport apps for flights. I used Google flights and looked at specific airline sites to see the best fares. I did have to go to Air Panama to book the flight from Panama City to Bocas. As for the medication, I am not sure about that. Depending on what it is, or if it is over the required liquid amount for a carry on, you might need a medical note but most travel with their medications without issue. Just do your due diligence with researching the medication as I am not an expert on that and do not want to steer you the wrong way. 👍🏽🇵🇦
