Honduras Adventures




Well, the end of May, Mike and I went on a vacation to Honduras. We went with a friend of ours that went on a mission there 10 years ago. We thought it would be the trip of a lifetime! Well, it certainly was. After flying all day to get there, we were surprised to find out that our rental car had been given away and "the only one they had left" was an SUV that cost 3 times as much. Of course. Then, we drove 3 hours to our hotel in a very scary city that, little did we know, was having the carnival of the century. They gave away our hotel room since we were a couple hours late. Since the carnival of the century was going on, there were no other hotel rooms available. By that time it was close to 3am and we were dead tired. Anyway, we ended up sleeping in our car in the 80 degree, humid, sticky, nasty, scary place by the side of the road. The next morning we took a very bumpy ferry boat to an island where we were going to scuba dive. The ferry made me chuck ALL OVER! It sucked! The island was very nice and the beaches were ok. I did get a very nice tan! Long story short, we will not be going back to mainland Honduras EVER! We did get some nice pictures of some stuff though.

I had to rack my brain to think of where we stayed cuz I've tried to forget the whole experience! Ha! We stayed in La Ceiba the first night by the side of the road! Then we ferried over to the island of Utila, just over by Roatan. Then drove to Copan, then to San Pedro Sula. San Pedro Sula, coincidentally, was having a carnival while we were there as well! What are the odds. We woke up at 5:30am to fireworks! 5 stinkin' 30!!!!! We thought it was a shooting outside or something! Uuuuuugghhhhh! What a way to end the vacation!
