So that when I came from Panama... my family was exiled in 1973 and they went to Miami.

So everything that ever happened, we knew about in Panama.

I think being born in Panama was a blessing because Panama is a port city. It's a really - the mentality is that - I remember that of admitting things in. You know, ports, ideas come in and out all the time.

I think kids ought to travel. I think it's very good to carry kids around. It's good for them. Of course it's tough on the parents.

I was doing everything that a kid would be doing anyway, but on top of that, I was able to fly to different cities.

I miss everything that makes up Panama. I don't have a preference. I love my country.

Your kids inevitably want to move where they had their vacations when they were younger.

The United States, to state the obvious, is greatly concerned by the startling number of unaccompanied minors that - children and teenagers who are making a very perilous journey through Central America to reach the United States.

So it really does have a sort of bittersweet quality. Kids like to have adventures and to believe they can fly, but there's also that fear about people leaving you.

My police record says I went to Panama City, but I don't recall it.
