Guanaja Honduras - Our Chariot Awaits!

Here we are .... Guanaja bound! While we had our fingers crossed, my husband's hat blew off in a gust of wind! It was an interesting flight after the deluxe flight we had from Miami to San Pedro Sula, Honduras aboard TACA. The AC didn't work, but I was told later that it hasn't worked on that plane in over 20 years!


I was fanning myself with the emergency procedure brochure, trying to stir up a little breeze, when I really looked out the window, WOW.....the various hues of blue came into view as we began our flight over the Caribbean Sea. Spectacular is the only way to describe it.....next, the various Bay Islands and their surrounding Cays came into view with lush green vegetation and mountains.

Twenty minutes later we began our approach for landing. Our new adventure was about to begin! We were told by our friend, Jim, to look for his house as we approached Guanaja and there it was, four little rooftops on a hillside over looking Wilmont Bay....simply beautiful! We started taking pictures from the air.

The landing was smooth and when the door popped open we were greeted by the warm tropical breezes of the Caribbean. We off loaded and were met by our new friends Senior Denis and Daniel from the Nautilus Resort. There are no roads on Guanaja, so they had the boat waiting for us to take us to our island paradise for the next week....everything went so smoothly.

Ten minutes later we arrived at the resort and were escorted to our room and then introduce to our cook, Tina and our housekeeper, Lela..... both women would become like "family" over the next week!

Our exploration of Gunaja Honduras, this island gem, began immediately with our boat driver/guide, Guermo directing us to all the local places....but more of that later....for now, let's kick back and enjoy a cold beverage! Guanaja Honduras, here we come! CHEERS!
