Tagged: honduras, roatan, travel
Even since I learned about the island of Roatan, located just off Honduras in the Caribbean, I’ve wanted to travel there. I don’t know that there’s anything that particularly sets it apart. Although it’s on the western edge of the Caribbean Sea, the island contains all of the same characteristics that draw visitors to its eastern counterparts. It even has a lively beach bar scene on its western tip, making that section of the island a...

When I started planning our day trip to Anguilla and its beaches (you know, for beach bar “research”), I reached out to various online groups for advice on getting around the island, specifically via a taxi service. As any longtime readers of this blog know, I’ve vacationed on the island twice before.

Vacation choices can be difficult to make, at least in my family’s case. First, it’s expensive, especially when you add in two little tax deductibles that now have to have their own seat. Second, because it’s expensive, you don’t want to get the choice wrong. Then there’s the fact that there are so many beautiful beaches to visit in the Caribbean – how do you choose? It’s a nearly impossible proposition but one that we are lucky to be...

I could go on and on and on about everything we appreciated about the resort but...
