I'm sitting in the Admiral's club in Miami enjoying the very last day of my membership. After nearly ten years of overpriced, stale cookies and the only recent addition of free well drinks, I've had to cancel my membership as I can't justify $400+ a year for five flights on AA. It's cheaper for me to buy individual passes if and when I'm headed to distant lands. Alas. It seems American's day as my regular seat in the sky has passed. I still racked up a million and a half miles while I was at it, so my place at the front of the line is at least secured.

If you need me, I'll be in the cheap seats on Southwest - but on time!

We spent a week in Panama driving, surfing, driving, hiking, driving, diving, driving, climbing, driving and I think we did some driving too.

More pictures to come, but here's a taste of our brief year-end adventure.
