I do not have to see everything, eat everything, touch everything, fill my senses with everything possible because I don't know when I will be back. I can come back to Panama whenever I want. I am not sure when I will be back, true, but I don't need any special permission to return, just money to buy a ticket : )
The only downsides (kinda) about Panama not being Cuba is that I have no baggage weight restriction! US-Cuba-US I was only allowed 44lbs of luggage. That greatly limited what I took with me and what I brought back. Also, the Cubans I know expected me to distribute all of my material possessions among them under the assumption that: I have. They do not. I should give.They should receive because I can replace... which helps the weight control of the bags but makes for very awkward situations when you have to explain why you want to keep your own things. ummmmm...yeah. *wooo sah. ok I am back*
So me and my expensively heavy 3 suitcases and my personal item (nope, not a carry on because I would have to pay for that) will be headed to the airport tonight. And tomorrow, I will wake up in the US, missing Panama.
