Because we’re in and out of Panamá twice in three days, we stay closer to the airport, leaving the recently-grown stalagmites of Panama City comfortably distant. And 150 pounds of luggage parked at the airport.

For the first time in a while, we fly cattle class for this two hour flight – ‘free’ with frequent flier miles and a couple hundred ‘Federal‘ ‘Reserve‘ notes. But check it out – everyone has a personal screen, with a selection of movies (12? 16?) available to start, pause, fast forward and replay at will. Really, it hasn’t been that long since ‘we’re showing the movie now’ – ?
Amazing, really.
But is anyone happy?
