That's funny, that was almost our exact trip, except we stayed a bit longer in some places. Actually my one regret was that we didn't stay longer on Isla Grande. It was so peaceful we probably could have spent a week, even if there wasn't a ton of activities to do.

This is nearly our exact trip also, except that in the middle we are driving over the cordillera to Almirante and going to Bocas del Toro for four nights. Has anyone else been to Bocas? LP says to take malaria pills. However, we did not take them for Costa Rica and did just fine. Any thoughts on this out there?
