My wife and I will be spending 5 days in Panama City(staying at Le Meridien Panama from 08/28-09/02) Curious if Camillo is still a driver you recommend. Blogs and info online suggests a taxi or driver when visiting Colon. Do you also recommend the Train from Panama City to Colon? Thanks on advise for our stay.

Hi Michael, I agree transit visas can be limiting. On the one hand, they are trying to give the traveler a break by not having the transit passenger have to get a visa. On the other hand, if the passenger stays too long (as judged by the local country) those passengers are then required to get, and often pay for, a visa. Glad you enjoyed what I shared. Randy

Reading through you message about the trip to Rep. of Panama, I was looking for tips on where to stay on layover between connecting flights.
If a green-card holder friend comes along, to stay at the recommended hotel
Le Meridian) may be a complication since a transit-visa is valid for only nine hours there (according to other sources).
It appears that hotels are not able to access that market when a passenger
cannot leave the airport. They really need to lengthen transit-visa pass time periods.
Otherwise, it was an interesting read.

Get there 2 am on Sunday. I will be by myself. Thing I will hang in airport until sunrise and catch bus into town. My stay in old town. I will be there for carnival. The biggest information I got from you trip is vehicle traffic. I will try to stay away from that. Like to see canal, rain forest, old town, carnival. Will be there 96 hours. Thanks for the information. Mark. ps My retirement dream is to follow Formula 1 racing for an entire season. I am not a big fan really although I like racing too. Main thing is to see all the countries.
