Almost a week ago my mom and friends held a service for a friend of theirs that died, I was the photographer. During the reception I was running around taking pictures and eating cookies until I approached by a friend of my mom's and someone that I enjoy talking to as well. We started talking about photography which involved him asking me questions about it. He owns some land in Panama and evidently panama has some strange laws for immigration so you have to have so much money invested to live there. So Joe is trying to get a co-op of people to pool a large amount of money together so a group of contributers can go live there. At some point in the conversation he asked me if I had a passport, I said yes and started to wonder at why he would ask me that. Turns out he needs a photographer to take some real estate pictures in Panama and his photographer doesn't have a passport... (laughs maniacally) he proceed to ask ME if I wanted to do it. I wanted to say "hell yeah" but felt that "Of course I want to" would have been adequate. Joe, "It would be a free plane ticket, All expenses paid and you'll get paid too" Me, "... wow... that sounds awesome, I'm in." So that's where I am right now with that. All I know is it happens around June and it will be around 7-10 days long. I'm really excited to go to another new country. I will have been to Asia and Central America after this. Pretty cool.
I need to still fit Japan in somewhere because I feel like if I don't go now It wont happen for a while. Maybe this trip will help promote myself as a photographer and help with my income but we'll see. If I can just afford a plane ticket for Japan I think that would be a huge step in getting there.

Wow, sweet deal with Panama. Remember to buy a hat!
Are hats from Panama a sought after item? lol I have heard that there are tailor made shirts there that are worth buying.
