Thanks for your comments, everyone. Walkable... meaning I don't need a car, eh?
Will take that advice, Rubia. I am just a bit apprehensive about landing in a less than desireable
area, as I do not intend on renting a vehicle if I can reasonably avoid doing so.
I landed in Panama City, Panama during my first trip to Central America; I found that the online
travel site didn't bother to let folks know that the hotel was in a small, well guarded area...in the middle of the hood. By the time I discovered an area to my liking, it was time to go home.
Don't want to repeat that mistake.
Grew up in the hood, have no desire to return, especially if I have to travel
several hundred miles to do so.
