This is Luzania and Ariel again, checking in from Panama City!
So this is it, we’re finally here.
The adventure starts today. We went to the airport to pick our dear Glimpsers up, and we came across a very pleasant surprise: the flight arrived earlier than expected! 30 minutes earlier to be precise. They were still tired, since it was a long flight. Panama’s weather is no joke either; it can wear you down pretty easily, so we have to stay hydrated always!
A shoutout to our two GG Leaders and heroes, Pierre and Michelle! They were extremely helpful and very willing to work with us, so we already know it’s going to be a great trip with them on our side!
It was a really short trip from the airport to the Ojos del Rio Hotel, so we checked in as soon as we arrived, and thanks to the 30-minute advantage we had some extra time to fully prepare them for tomorrow’s activities and our long trip to Las Tablas, and we also had some time to bond and answer any questions they might have. They already had a glimpse of what the program is like with tomorrow’s agenda, so we’ll make sure to get the most out of the trip in every step of the way!
Lights out time came pretty quickly, though. Some healthy sleep will come in handy for our 11-day adventure.
Stay tuned for our blogs and everything we’ll be sharing along the way. Starting tomorrow, the GG Leaders and Glimpsers will be taking over the blog and share with us their insights, highlights, and overall enjoyment. Be ready for everyone’s turn!

Jaylina! What’s up!? It’s counselor Mike C here. I hope you have an incredible experience in Panama! I was there in 2006 but only for fun. You are doing something really special for the local community there. Take it all in: the sights, sounds, smells, the culture. I can’t wait to hear about your adventures when you get back in the fall.
