Paradise led to Panama city, a boiling hot inferno chock full of shopping, canals and people. I shopped, avoided the canal, tried to visit the old city by getting on a bus marked Panama Viejo (Old Panama) - ended up in completely the wrong area, then walked back to town.
and then the following:
10pm taxi to airport
2am flight to Lauderdale
5:55am stupid questions from US customs
6:10am pulled aside for luggage check
6:25am escape from luggage check
6:45am board plane to Boston
10am arrive Boston
10:30am ask tourist information for information (completely incorrect - called Hilton Hotel for correct info - thanks Hiltons)
11am visit ICA in Boston (Contemporary Art Gallery) - cool exhibits, photography prohibited
12pm check email at Boston's courthouse - awesome!
1:30pm go to catch bus to Salem at subway - customer service tells me there's no bus, go to other subway.
1:45pm get to other subway - visit two customer service areas - both tell me there's no service to Salem
2:10pm miss bus to Salem
3pm meet to lovely ladies waiting for the bus to Salem, they sympathize about stupid transit people - bus clearly stops at both subways that I was told it didn't, and as an added bonus - also stops at the airport!
5pm get to Salem
5:03pm see sign for witches museum - yes, it's that Salem!
6pm meet ride to Montreal
24 hours later - ask some Hasids what time Seder starts - they reply not before 8:20, but as I learned the less orthodox actually get hungry earlier
3 hours later - ring doorbell
30 seconds later...
