Panamaniacs!!!
Oh, where to being... It's 3:20am, I'm sitting in my room in LA waiting till 5:00am at which point i will depart for good ol' LAX. (Very bad note to self: If the Los Angeles airport should ever shutdown, buy it, and reopen it as a club called X-LAX.) So, Tricia, my little sis, has just moved into my place, and her first task: taking me to the airport.
But the real question on everyone's mind is, "Geoff, why the HELL are you going to Panama?" Trust me, I've been asking myself the same question. It started as so.
I gave a call to good pal Daniel G. last Saturday afternoon after doing an interview for a new entertainment channel (another longer story for another time). I asked what Daniel was up to, and he informed me to my surprise that he was off to Panama the upcoming Monday. Wow, fairly sudden, since I had just talked to him a week or so ago with no mention whatsoever of Panama.
Then, a question. "Want to go?" Well, of course I want to go to Panama. You mean, get the hell out of California and experience a new country? Doi (yes. i said doi). But i can't afford a trip to Panama right now! "What if I paid for your flight?" Oh. Well. Hrmm. That certainly changes things. Most notably my "Enh, wish I could" to "Hell frickin's yes indeedy."
So, the next day, Sunday, we booked a flight for myself for the upcoming Friday. Figured a few things out. Daniel left. I took care of some biz. And here we go...
Oh, and as to why we're going. Daniel is quite the spontaneous guy. He has decided to shoot a short film in Panama. Why Panama? Still not sure the answer to that one besides "Why not?" I suppose its a place that most people DON'T dream about going to, or something a bit more off the beaten path. Also, Daniel has been reading a little about the country and was inspired and intrigued by the native islanders off the coast of northern Panama. We'll be shooting all around Panama City and those islands for a few days. Lots of work, but yes, lots of fun too. Guaranteed. Photos and videos galore will be on the way. Wish us luck!
