Kinda sucks that airfare isn't included. That's over $600.00+ per person (bare minimum) on the real airlines like American and Delta and Delta only flys there on the weekends and assuming you book your flights way ahead of time. You could fly TACA and change planes three times. I'm a little uneasy flying on TACA but that's just me. The airport in Tegucigalpa is an absolute nightmare, the runway is short and pilots have to make a low, hairpin turn to land there. I remember that a TACA pilot crashed an airplane there about a year and a half ago, killing five people. It was such a concern that the president of Honduras said there would be no more commercial flights into Tegucigalpa and they'd transfer those flights to another airport. Of course that was impossible so they just opened the airport up again in a couple of months.

Meeting Rocky Patel sounds interesting but with the whole uncertainty of the cost of the airlines tickets, I'm not sure if this is any kind of "prize" at all.

Sure, I like cigars an' all but if I'm going to spend that kind of scratch on airline tickets, there are hundreds of places I'd go in the world before going to Honduras.
