I first met Lendon of Seat Concepts when the office was in a small warehouse in San Jacinto, CA.

It has been one year since I crossed the final border of Central America into its southern most country… Panamá. I stayed a total of 2 nights there with most of the daylight hours spent rushing along the Pan American Highway in order to catch a boat.
