Sharon got a house

Monday, 13. August 2007 by Bruce Brown

After help from a lot of nice people, Sharon decided on a house.

Inexpensive 3 bedroom rentals are hard to find in Boquete.  There seem to be enough 2 bedroom places, but once you get to three bedroom, the choices are more limited if you want to stay under $1,000 per month.  But, we found this place, that Sharon loves.  The down-side is that it’s for sale, so we’ll need to be looking for another place sometime soon, I suppose.  But, we’ve found our landing place.

I like that it’s colorful.  It has a loft with a little office and master bedroom.  It’s on a quiet pine-lined street.

When Sharon told me yesterday it was a go, I purchased plane tickets for the family from Acapulco to Panama City.  Flying August 31st.  Total cost, around $1,200 dollars, plus $150 total for our two English Shepherd dogs on Mexicana Airlines.  If your flying from Mexico. Mexicana has consistently had the best rates and flight-times.

(UPDATE:  Actually, we didn’t get the house in this picture --we found one at about half the price, $450 --and love it.  It’s an old A frame that feels like living in a comfortable cabin.)
