Eye on Travel

Radio Guest List–Trump Hotel Panama–June 1, 2013

It splits the Americas and connects two of the world’s great oceans. Where else could you surf the Pacific and sail the Caribbean in the same day? It’s only in Panama. This weekend, we’re broadcasting from Panama City at the Trump Ocean Club International Hotel & Tower Panama. Hear from expats, restaurateurs,  historians, publishers and let’s not forget a local (American) craft brewer about what sets their country apart.

Pay close attention because some of these folks will pop up as part of the Hidden Gems of Panama, debuting next week. Check out Peter’s Behind the Scenes slideshow.

Live Stream the Show with this link from 10 am until 1 pm ET on Saturday, June 1, 2013.
