Change fee is $300, so that's a pretty crappy option.
I'm in the same boat. Asked my wife twice if she was ok if I booked the flights, she said yes, I booked them, and now she's freaked out, so I'm interested to hear what you find out.
My original compromise was that I'd take an extra long layover in MIA so I land in PTY at 830pm and fly out at 6am, I'd stay at the Crowne Plaza 5 minutes from the airport, and that I'd wear long sleeves, bug spray and pre-treat my clothes with permethrin to avoid any bites. I think she's overreacting and it'll be fine, but nevertheless, keep us posted.
