We've been to Honduras several times, but never made it to Roatan. Heard lots of great things. Did make it to La Ceiba and Tela, on the coast - great food, thanks to the Garifuna (African descent). I'd love to live down there, but SWMBO would not be on board.

When we were in Spain last year, after about 2 weeks, we started getting 'retire in Spain' feeds on my phone - then International Living Magazine started appearing - I subscribed for 6 months and stopped but still receive 27 emails a day. They have literally monetized every single aspect of this but know their stuff. Well worth a look. PM me your email and I will send a recent issue which has an article on Roatan

Did you fly into Tegucigalpa or San Pedro Sula? The airport at "Tegoose" is an ~interesting~ experience, to say the least!

The left coast of Florida will be our winter home
No, actually Waldo is on Rt 301 between Ocala and Starke in Florida. It was once a notorious speed trap. In fact Waldo and Starke were written up as speed traps in, of all places, Smithsonian Magazine, probably 20 years ago. I used to go through there on my way back and forth from Washington, D.C., to Tampa before moving to Florida. I was aware of he town's reputation, doubly so as I was driving first a Porsche 944 and then a red 968 through the berg. Truth is I never saw anyone stopped by police in Waldo or Starke. But beware I75 south of Macon, GA, to the Florida line. Local police and sheriff's deputies prey on motorists on that highway, and they are nailing a lot of motorists. But I digress

Beware approaching Cortez, Colorado on US491 (formerly US666, the Devil's highway) from the south or the north. Every time I've gone through there I've either seen someone pulled over and/or cops sitting in well hidden areas just waiting to pounce. When you hit that sign that says "35mph" you'd better be going 35mph or less.

Nice, I won't be showing this to SWMBO!
