Planning to leave Honduras, the whoooole day!
This is a top pick! In fact: the whole afternoon today AND yesterday. My poor hubby spent hooouuurs surfing and called many, many times. But first I call my best friend, Springmuis. It is great to gossip and giggle with her for half an hour. I miss her so! OK, where ...

Stop Number Four
This is a top pick! We arrived at the main terminal here, and found our next bus to La Cieba. A one-hour layover gave us a chance to take care of errands -- food, ATM, and (very very sadly) discovering that Chicago will not be hosting the Olympics in 2016. :( ...

Something wicked, this way comes...
... no M16's pointed at us...so I just twisted the throttle and hammered down...it worked twice! Our way north through Honduras will be along the Caribbean coast, and I'm sure we'll have better experiences, but today was pretty bad...knowing that ...

Kayak Diving
Being on a small island it is sometimes hard to get enough exercise walking, which is why kayaking is good. Not that exercise is the real reason we thought it would be a smart idea to load up the kayaks with diving equipment and go diving. It's more ...
Into Honduras
