After a busy 3 weeks sorting, selling or packing our stuff we finally arrived in Panama for a new chapter in our lives. The Air France flight went smoothly, thanks to 3 seats and our upgrade to Business Class after years collecting miles. It’s been a while I don’t fly Business with AF and… oh god, now I remember why I like Air France-KLM so much (and why I HATE Iberia so SO much – with whom I’ve flied business a couple of times to Mexico and Guatemala for business lately).
Priorities now are:
1. Getting all the paperwork done for our permanent Visa in Panama;
2. Finding a nursery school for Leia: at almost 13 months, she definitely needs a social life with other kids and we need freedom to search for an apartment and buy furniture;
3. Finding an apartment to rent;
4. Buying furniture (at least the essentials);
5. Analyze health insurance alternatives for our family over here. DKV, our health insurer in Spain is unable to upgrade us to expat coverage without resetting waiting periods (i.e. for maternity coverage) so I suggested them to search for high value clients down where one’s back changes its name. Such a missed opportunity DKV… you are so going to lose excellent clients with policies like those! I wish you the best (without me and whoever asks me to recommend an insurer…)
