Hey. I just wanted to pass along some info my husband's cousin read in the Miami Herald. Copa Airlines (Panama's main airline) has roundtrip fares from Miami to Panama City for $259. I think he said the price is good til Dec 31st. I have a copy of the ad, but it's at home and I'm at work.
Whenever we travel to Panama, that's the airline we always fly on. Nice service and planes...but the seats are a lil cramped (but then I'm rather cushiony hehe)
I can pass along the phone number to the travel agency promoting this fare if anyone's interested.
With adoption travel being so expensive, hopefully this will help.
And, most of all, I hope some families get a nice surprise and get to travel before New Years! :-D

Hi, Robin!
It seems that fares have come down quite a bit in the past few weeks. I recieved a "Fare Alert" e-mail from Travelocity claiming that I could fly American Airlines for $298 from Miami to PTY! Of course, I'm sure if we were ever ready to travel, the price would have jumped back up by then. ;)
To everyone:
I'm assuming nobody has any news? A couple of weeks ago our attorney said that she wasn't getting any help from the DNA, so she's resigned to waiting until September. We've decided that if the two children we've been waiting on since July 2003 do NOT get TPR on Aug. 19 (their 5th and supposedly final TPR hearing), then we will be done with Panama. If our attorney had found another child for us, of course we'd do whatever it takes ($$-wise) to stay with Panama, but since she hasn't, there's no sense in dragging out the agony. :rolleyes:
But in the meantime, our domestic foster-to-adopt license should be arriving in the next two weeks, and already we've submitted our homestudy to several caseworkers all over the country! I know that US adoption is painfully slow, but at least we'll have the children in our home and can begin to bond with them while we wait for TPR.
Whatever happens and whichever country pulls through for us, hopefully we'll be adoptive (or foster) parents soon!!!
;)
