Banana George is the first skier
to barefoot in Panama!

Banana George and his wife, JoAnne, spent this Christmas in Panama and both are looking forward to their next trip to this Banana Republic!

The first couple of days were spent in Panama City. George had always wanted to see the miracle construction of the Panama Canal and at last he did. He and JoAnne cruised through two of the locks and it was all George had expected.

Then on to Bocas del Toro, a 45 minute flight from Panama City on the island of Colon. There, JoAnne and George stayed at the Tropical Suites Hotel (www.tropical-suites.com) where Keith and Deborah Beaubien have just opened their new business: LAND, SEA & AIR ADVENTURES (www.land-sea-air-adventures.com) George and JoAnne both took flights in Keith's ultra-light and George barefooted on perfect water. Bocas del Toro is on the Caribbean Sea and Keith took his Mastercraft into the Mangrove section where the water is like glass and one can see to a depth of about ten feet.

All in all, a perfect get away for a barefooter!
