Other Retirement Travelers Videos from Panama

While visiting Panama City, we also made a couple of great day trips. The first was to Taboga Island on a large catamaran. The second great trip was along the entire length of the Panama Canal, including boat trips to Monkey Island. We highly recommend both trips. Check out our video here.
