It cries for <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Return_to_the_Blue_Lagoon\" title=\"Return to the Blue Lagoon\" target=\"_blank\">a sequel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Back in January, I was chatting with my friend D. from H. one night. He has mastered the art of  finding the cheapest possible deal for&#8230; just about anything, really. I once witnessed him bringing a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roomba\" title=\"Roomba\" target=\"_blank\">specific vacuum cleaner<\/a> back from the US in his suitcase &#8211; just because that particular model was significantly more expensive in Germany. Anyway, that night D., knowing how much I love Latin America, pointed out some extremely cheap flights he found to various Central American countries. I&#8217;d never seen anything like it before. 277 Euros for a return flight from Frankfurt to Panama? <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4158\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pan-am.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/277euros.jpg\" rel=\"gallery[Portfolio]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4158\" src=\"http:\/\/pan-am.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/277euros-300x222.jpg\" alt=\"277 euro ticket\" width=\"300\" height=\"222\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4158\" srcset=\"http:\/\/pan-am.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/277euros-300x222.jpg 300w, http:\/\/pan-am.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/277euros.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-4158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">For real? 277,86\u20ac<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Only few seats left. A decision had to me made right away! <strong>Pro:<\/strong> I really want to go and I&#8217;ll never find a cheaper ticket. <strong>Con:<\/strong> I don&#8217;t really have the money anyway. So, the answer was clear: I&#8217;m going, of course. I decided to go for the entire month of April, which is the last month of the dry season, during which I want to visit Panama and Costa Rica. This is one of the moments where I love being a freelancer and not having to ask a boss for permission to go on vacation. Also, I took this trip as a motivation to work hard, and it seems it worked to some degree, although I didn&#8217;t manage to finish every project in time and left a few clients slightly unsatisfied.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are going to join me on this trip again as I plan to blog frequently throughout the month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s 2014 and a year and a half have passed since I finished my great Pan-American journey, returned from my beloved Costa Rica and settled in Berlin.
