In the Heart of Central America: Why now is the time to go to Honduras

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

While Roatan may not be Tegucigalpa, it IS Honduras. More important, you must know that if you are a U.S. citizen who gets into trouble in any of these countries, you are on your own as far as your State Department is concerned. My brother disappeared off Roatan in May of this year and it was only the unrelenting pressure of our widely dispersed network of family and friends harrassing our Senators and Representatives that got us any help at all. Other U.S. families who have lost people in Central America during the same period have not been as fortunate as we were. Please exercise extreme caution in this part of the world and make sure everyone you know knows where you are going and what you are doing. As for the Bay Islands, read up on the violence against foreigners in the Bay Islands Voice (available online). Please also visit The Missing Americans Project (www.missingamericans.ning.com)
