I usually try to find the cheapest flights possible when I travel and when it's international travel, that often means I'll have a few lengthy layovers. While that adds more time and inconvenience, it can sometimes add an extra adventure opportunity. If the layover is long enough, I can sometimes leave the airport to get a brief cultural experience and maybe taste a bit of the local food. It all depends on what the visa requirements might be, time of day and availability of public transportation.
I'll have a layover in Panama City, Panama on my way to Chili and a layover in Batoga, Columbia on my way home. I haven't yet looked into the possibility of being able to leave either of these airports to explore those cities. Will I need a special visa to leave the airport? Will I be able to easily take a bus or train from the airport into the city? I'll find out. In the meantime, I think it might be fun for you to look up the flags of Panama, Columbia, and Chili. As Texans, I think you will find one of them very interesting. To earn more house points tell me which one looks very familiar to you and why.
