Guanaja Bound .... Pre-Flight!


We are Guanaja bound. We have never been to Honduras before. I am going through the usual pre-flight activities. In addition, I have made extra copies of our passports, ID's and have added the phone number of the US Embassy in Honduras......hopefully we won't need to use that one! TACA has sent us the 48 hour flight notice and I am as excited as a kid waiting for Santa to come down the chimney!

I guess the question is, will we like it? Will we love it enough to consider it for retirement?

We are going to stay one night in La Ceiba at the CocoPando Resort (on the ocean) owned by a wonderful guy named Charlie.... you can check out his place at : www.cocopando.com

The next morning we will be flying to Guanaja on Islania Air and will be picked up at the airport by Mr. Denis, manager of the Nautilus Resort, where we plan on making our headquarters for the next week or so. We have been in touch via e-mail with Mr. Denis, a very friendly, professional man and we are looking forward to meeting him.

Ronnie E. has generously provided us use of his boat and a driver for the week, so we plan on making good use of both to learn all about our "maybe" new home.

We have already loosely planned on meeting our new "e-mail" friends Sharon and Mike at the Manati Bar Saturday afternoon and this makes us already feel at home....not really in a strange new place....it is terrific to already be welcomed this way! You can visit Guanaja Sharon at her blog that she maintains at: http://www.featherridge.blogspot.com

So we are Guanaja bound...leaving on a jet plane....see you there!
