The Honduras Adventure

[opie]

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.
