Q. What s a good place to vacation in panama?

"When visiting panama your first destination has to be the pearl islands..."

When visiting Panama your first destination has to be the Pearl Islands. Located on the Pacific Ocean this archipelago is so beautiful and calm you wouldn`t want to visit anywhere else. June thought September you will see wales all over the place.

Q. What s a good place to vacation in panama?

"But you can fly fairly easily to other destinations in panama if you like...."

Bocas del Toro on the Caribbean side near Costa Rica is pretty incredible, very laid back and beautiful, with great snorkeling and amazing island life. There`s nothing much else around, but you can fly fairly easily to other destinations in Panama if you like.

Costa Rica is a great place to visit in March, the sun shines every day, the water is warm and clear, and there are lots of activities as it`s the high season here.

Q. Places to visit near chattanooga or birmingham with 6 kids.?
we are driving down to panama city for vacation and planning to stop for 5-6 hours in the chattanooga or birmingham area and spend the night. we are looking for a place to stay and something to do. a hotel with good pool or water area/lazy river would be nice. i have 6 kids ages 2 years to 10.. any suggestions?

"Chattanooga is a great place to stop with kids..."

Chattanooga is a great place to stop with kids. Lookout Mountain is probably Chattanooga's most popular attraction, and you and your kids will probably really enjoy it. It gives you a great view of the Smokies and surrounding states. You can find more information here: http://www.vacationsmadeeasy.com/ChattanoogaTN/activity/LookoutMountainAttractions.cfm Here is a selection of hotels in Chattanooga that feature outdoor pools and would be good for families: http://www.vacationsmadeeasy.com/ChattanoogaTN/lodging/ChattanoogaTNHotelswithOutdoorPool.cfm Hope this helps! Enjoy your vacation!

Q. Which would be a better vacation spot costa rica or panama?
i'm thinking about going to central america but don't know which one to go to. which one has more poverty? which is safer? foods, beaches and places to visit would you recommend. which one is more similar to the caribbean islands? what do they have that makes them more unique?

"Panama is a little less developed in..."

Both are very similar but also very different. They share Rain Forests, great beaches on both sides, and the lowest rates of poverty in Central America. Panama is a little less developed in terms of Tourism but not in terms of industry etc. Both are extremely SAFE, great food and great friendly people. The currency in Panama is the Dollar so it is mostly more expensive than Costa Rica. Panama- Panama city is a nice very cosmopolitan city for Central America. There are several nice hotels here or ones just across the bay and you can take a ferry to those hotels across the bay. The Locks of the Panama Canal are also about a 45min drive or tour from the city. The Pacific side has several islands called the Peal Islands- Condado is the most popular and very nice with a couple nice hotels. The Caribbean side has two Island chains- both very different. The San Blas which are goverened by the Kuna Indians are very tropical, white sand beaches and great snorkeling reefs- no scuba diving allowed. These islands are VERY rustic.. The other ones are the Bocas Del Toro Archipelago towards the border with Costa Rica. These are also very nice islands and becomming the "next new place" to go to in Central America. It's very backpacker style still but there are some nice places popping up on some of the islands off of Bocas. Costa Rica is one of my favorite places too but unfortunately they do not have islands similar to Panama's and are more like Hawaiian/ California beaches than the Caribbeans. Tamarindo, Arenal, Monteverde, Dominical, Manuel Antonio are all places to visit when there. Have you thought about Roatan or another of the Bay Islands off Honduras since you are looking for Caribbean type? The beaches and water in the Bay Islands is very Caribbean per say, white sand and 200 foot visability. Not to mention, the second largest reef in the world behing the GBR. Continental and Delta also fly into Roatan on the weekend directly. Just a thought..

St Augustine is a blast and just over 3 hours (Rt 10 East) depending on how fast you drive and traffic. Go see the stone lions and lighthouse.
