    WOW!!

    Thank you very much Opie for the great write up!!! I've heard bits and pieces many of the same things but never in such great detail as you have described.

    I've heard Costa Rica is a much better place to visit that Honduras or Nicaragua. Have you ever been there?

    Very interesting read Opie, thank you for sharing. As much as I would love a trip like that, it looks a little too adventurous for me. Glad you made it, and hope someone finds your suitcase. And man, a night without your CPAP? glad you made it ok.

    Come on now! I just turned 70 and it was a great experience. Don't limit yourself. Don't get to my age and then think about all the things that you missed out on. I have friends who do that and they are sort of pathetic.
    My neighbor told me that he had saved money all his life to be able to do what he wanted when he retired. He is now retired and doesn't feel like going anywhere or doing anything!

    On my tombstone I want "He didn't miss a damn thing!'

    Those are words to live by, for sure. Thanks for that. My son is 5 and I am about to be 45. He will either keep me young or put me in the grave. Either way, I intend to make it a fun ride.

    After 20 days I got my luggage back, with not a word of apology from Taca Airlines
    Gael has contracted either Malaria of Hemorragic Dengue Fever and almost died yesterday from Pneumonia, Bruce is back and being tested for both diseases.
    I guess it was even more of an adventure than I thought.

    Just talked with him and his condition seems to be greatly improved. If he continues to improve, the doctor will release him tomorrow and he can travel a couple of days after that.
    The hospital is in Tegucigalpa, which means a 90 km drive across "the road to hell" back to Danli.
    He has a bedroom at the factory and the doctor thinks that lack of ventilation and no air conditioning might be a factor in the Pneumonia.

    No news on Afterburner since Friday when he was to be retested for Malaria.

    costa rica is more for vacationing...i've been to honduras three times..and yes,the trip from tegucigalpa to danli is an adventure...as is the landing and take-off from tegucigalpa....
    ...i've been to nicaragua once...an interesting trip...especially if you like $7 hookers...lol..

    your best bet is the D.R....i've been at least a dozen times...some business some pleasure,and i can always get you a tour of the la aurora factory......

    $7 hookers? Really? I've read blogs by guys that say they go to Central American countries and they get hit upon by really good lookingwomen right in the airport, that say hey buddy want to hook up with me? And then they get a hotel room together and spend the weekend together partying. Is this true? I really want to know if it's true or not, sounds like it's a single mans heaven.
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.
