Tranquil Seas Roatan

A bunch of years ago I started an adventure that ultimately landed me on the Island of Roatan. To keep family and friends updated I regularly posted on this blog. It has been great fun sharing the ups and downs of traveling through Central America. Events that could have never been predicted happened; wedding celebrations, settling into a new wa...

Our time on Roatan
I haven't written about every day separately on the island, because we have been doing a lot of teh same stuff each day, and I don't want to make you all too jealous!

A typical day includes one of us making a yummy breakfast, of fruit, or pancakes, or more likely scrambled eggs, rice and/or beans...! we then go di...

The following morning we awoke to Paradise once more. The clouds had disappeared in the night and the brilliant blue sky shone warming rays through our light green curtains. As we walked down to the beach, the wind calmed and gave us our first taste of the warmth that was to come. The water in Half Moon bay had turned a brilliant shade of residi...

Travel Day

5:00 AM, travel day, my friend Nancy drove me to my next vehicle, an airplane for my next destination, Roatan Honduras. The airport was slow and I was flying on a buddy pass, which means "stand by", they gave me the go ahead and I went to get ...

When we decided to stick to our original plan and go to Honduras to learn to dive we kept it quiet for a little while so as not to scare the folks by the fact that we were going into a country that was currently experiencing political unrest in the form of a coup against President Zelaya. Lynda had originally planned to fly into San Pedro Sula, ...

This is gonna be short cause the internet is SLOW, we can't get the laptop to work on WIFI and I'm paying up the ass for computer time.

So.... After four days in Utila, Honduras (which I renamed Sucktila and Mom renamed Usmella), we left for the greener pastures of Roatan. Utila is supposed to be a divers paradise with the cheapest diving...

As the first and only English speaking (non-religious) talk radio show host in Honduras, I am dismayed by the reaction of our very top American officials to the recent political problems in our country. I am a huge Obama and Hillary Clinton supporter. My unfailing respect for them both is without reproach, but I cannot believe the reaction these...

Hola amigos,

When we last left you, we were about to embark on the four-hour overland journey across the border between Antigua, Guatemala and La Ceiba, Honduras, our jumping off point for the Bay Islands where we would learn to scuba dive.

As we mentioned in our last update, our camera disappeared, along with Caroline's iPod,...

Arrived in La Cieba so decided to stay the night before heading out to Utilia. Did boring thinks like internet and stocking up on food before jumping on the local bus to the ferry port to head out to Utilia, a great place to dive. Arriving on utila we were touted by loads of young travellers looking to get us to dive with their shop and they did...

We had to get up at 2:45 on Friday to catch our flight to Roatan from Toronto. We spent the night at the double tree close to the airport. Needless to say we barely caught any Z's as we were like 2 kids waiting for Santa to arrive... We woke up to the news of the deadly plane crash originated from Newark. Our hearts went to all the people who lo...
