Panama is on the Hottest Destinations List for 2012 for the New York Times, Travel & Leisure and National Geographic Traveler.

(Barton Creek Cave, photos by Amanda Lobell) I put Belize on my list of top 10 trips I wish I had taken in 2009, so I was very excited to hear all about Amanda Lobell and Neil Roach’s recent vacation there. They had a fantastic time dividing their week between the jungle and the beach, [...]
