We finally got our invitation from the Peace Corps in late July. We are going to Panama on January 10th, 2012. We are very excited about the prospect! Heather will be working with English teachers and I will be a Community Environmental Conservation Extension Agent.
We have a few months to get organized, but there are lots of things to do before we go. We have sent in our passport applications (we get new Peace Corps passports), and we got our yellow fever vaccinations last week.
We are now trying to figure out exactly what we need to pack to be ready for Panama. One problem is that we don't know which part of the country we will be living in, and the climate varies from the tropical coast to a more temperate highlands.
Any help from PCV's now in Panama would be greatly appreciated!
