Stay positive and embrace the journey! A mal tiempo buena cara :) 1day in Panama. #CascoViejo #BrasilBound (at Casco Viejo) Sometimes it is best to surrender an embrace the moment for what it is. After missing my original flight to Panama, which would take me to Manaus to make a connection Porto Velho -- my final destination where I'd be doing some dope youth work with 15-18 year old girls and boys for one month! I lost another flight... the one from Panama to Manaus, this time. And tis time, the airlines was to blame. They did not validate my rights as dual citizen and did not allow me to travel to Brazil due to fear I might have been sent back. Way too risky for them. After divulging for a long time trying to make my voice count, the airline realized they had made a BIG mistake! They realized they'd made an error. They hooked me up with one of the Mariott hotels in Panama city, which really saved myself a lot of wandering around on my own. There were two great things about this experience, making my statement being heard and surrendering to the experience which allowed me to explore el Vasco Viejo of Panamá City for a couple of hours. I have been SO excited for so long, but things did not go as planned...
