Newbie looking for advice/recommendations

5 years ago
Good morning all,

My DH and I are in our late 50s and are beginning to think about retiring and our preferred destination is Panama.

Our initial trip of about 3 - 4 weeks will be next summer

While my husband is retiring, I will continue to work as a computer programmer, so reliable internet access is a must.

We definitely want to be on the coast.

We are planning on flying into Panama City and then drive to Chitre and explore there and down to Pedasi.

Our checklist is as follows, from most to least important

Internet access
Walkability
Proximity to beaches
Expat community
Fresh seafood and produce
Medical facilities


Are we correct in starting in the Chitre - Pedasi corridor?

Are there other areas we should consider?

Thanks for any advice you all can give.

Best,
Kathryn
