Panama Investor Blog: Old Howard to become hub of world class business and commerce

Blogged with Flock

Fortune magazine covers the real estate mania in Panama. A very good read. It includes comments from a client of mine too, Paul McBride of Prima. Take a  look.

Hello All,
We are in the US. For those whom I was not able to tell directly via email, in person or by phone, I am sorry. But here we are, in State College, 16801, US of A. It has been an interesting journey so far. A journey that was complicated by a robbery 1 week ago.

Felisa, myself and the girls were at an internet cafe in Panama City. At some point, due to distraction of the girls, Felisa’s purse was stolen with her license (Georgia and Panama) ATM and credit cards and national ID and $500 this has severely complicated our settling process. But we have been blessed and the friendliness of friends and acquaintances in Panama and State College has been great.

State College so far has been a wonderful place to be. Yes, we know in a few months it will be white and freezing but it comes with the territory, literally.

Here are some pics…more to come soon

peace an’ luv,

Hi Everyone,
Some of you know, others not. My family continues our nomadic ways, we are moving to State College from Panama. Felisa was recently offered a job as a professor to teach Supply Chain Management in the business school at Penn State University. Lots of changes are about to happen. weird that we are leaving while Panama is about to explode of the map. But things are changing again, but for the best. There are many opportunities and State College is a wonderful place to raise kids, and Felisa will be able to really pursue her true passion…teaching. This is what makes the move so bitter-sweet.

Anyway that’s the long and short of it.

To our friends and family in Panama we miss you already, to our friends and fam’ in the US, wi soon com’.

peace an’ luv

p.s. watch this space as I update our chaos in transit.

Although this lovely isthmus is Paradise for some….hell it will be for many. A slum in Curundu suffers another major fire in just over two months. Don Winner from Panama Guide writes an great piece on what he sees at the scene.
