Panama City's Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site with all the modern conveniences of a major city, Keri Lumm writes.
My dad’s draft number was 9. When your draft number is 9 during the Vietnam War, you know you’re going to serve somewhere. Fortunately he was stationed in Panama, guarding the canal from any possible sabotage or disruption. He always spoke of the country with fond memories so when I had the chance to go, I jumped on it.
If I could compare it to something, I would say it reminded me of South Florida, with tall white skyscrapers right by the ocean waves. The JW Marriott where I stayed for part of my trip is one of these modern buildings overlooking the water. I spent as much time as I could enjoying the view from one of the two infinity pools. It felt like staying at a resort that happened to be in the middle of town.
I also spent time at the W Panama which was artsy and hip, literally: they hosted an art show and party the night I arrived. Local Panamanian food was served at stations and different kinds of traditional music played, all while celebrating a local artist., so this was made for me. I was transformed with heavy eye makeup and a hairdo that was slicked back with gel. Then I was dressed in several layers of skirts, donned pink slippers, and put on a traditional blue and white top.
