Head FAR Off the Beaten Path to Panama’s San Blas Islands

San Blas

When it comes to off-the-beaten-path Caribbean travel, you can hardly do any better than Panama’s San Blas Islands. An idyllic string of 378 islands and small cays, 49 of which are inhabited, San Blas is one of those remarkable places where time has virtually stood still for centuries.
The islands are inhabited by the Kuna Indians, who moved here when Spanish Conquistadors drove them out of mainland Panama. Like the Maroons in Jamaica and the Caribs in Dominica, the Kuna in San Blas are an autonomous society, living their daily lives much as their ancestors had hundreds of years ago.

It’s the first Saturday in January, and for most of you in North America that can only mean one thing: IT’S DAMN COLD!!

Just as they did in showcasing Puerto Rico in this space a few months ago, our favorite bikini models introduce us to some incredibly scenic and uncommon areas throughout Panama this time around.
Well-trod spots like the Panama Canal and the streets of Panama City never looked so good, while more uncommon locales like Isla Mamey, Isla Galeta and Isla Grande, home to the sensuous Sister Moon Hotel, all benefit from the uniquely sexy and exotic Reef Girls spotlight.

Friday Happy Hour: Introducing Ron Abuelo Centuria

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I spent $100+ on a pair of boardshorts today.
Excessive? Yes. Stupid? Maybe, but I live less than five miles from the beach in Fort Lauderdale, my house doesn’t have a pool and summer is here. Even when I’m not traipsing around the Caribbean, I’ll still be living in those things for the next few months while trying to maximize time with my kids at/on the water.
Different things are simply valued differently by different people. Take today’s Friday Happy Hour selection, Ron Abuelo’s masterful new Centuria, for instance. Most casual rum drinkers would shudder at the thought of forking over what might seem like an excessive $130 for a bottle of this stuff.
