Can we get the facts straight before we go on a rant about Honduras thinking all tourists are milk cows please. The tax increase was a 3% SALES TAX increase. ALL people not tax exempt, pay it on goods they buy, including locals.... I'm fairly certain we can agree they are not rich milk cows...

Dr. Rob still works closely with WSORC, and promotes them on all his travels, he just no longer lives on Utila full time. He'll be in Rotan in December.

Yep, Hershey is still there... and had taken to trying to swim in the pool with the guests!

Hey Doc, Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Funny, in some ways I hardly recognize the place anymore, and in others it's as if nothings changed :)

You might get a few more responses if you post this thread under the 'Bay Islands' section?

Of the two you've mentioned, given your preference for shore diving from a resort setting, Laguna would be your best bet. While Utila Lodge has ease of access to town, the shore diving in the harbor will be a bit away from the dock, diving through the harbor. Laguna Beach is only accessible...

Thanks Andy, you're right, I missed the sign up date!

While I don't disagree with the trash problem, it's an ongoing problem small islands face when use exceeds the capacity of public services, isn't it interesting that it's only the 'locals' mentioned as throwing trash in the harbour? There doesn't seem to be any mention made of all those little...

You laugh Randy, but when John is cooking, he does everything in his power to meet all guest requests. Ask for his Coconut Ice cream. Yum!

ROTFL!! Roatanman you're very sweet (no I won't tell anyone & spoil your reputation), but sadly at my age, the only distraction I am to the Captains is when I take over the wheel :)

Greenhut, I think you may have missed the point of RTBDiver's post, and granted using the words 'spoiled americans' can do that, but the issue he brings up isn't entertainment or disruption, or even weather a child/adult is pleasant to be around or not, it's distraction. Boat Captains have...

Bay Islands Beach Resort may also be a good fit for you when traveling with kids.

Actually, you did :) Cudabait is here a couple months each year, and Itsjustme0770 owns property & is in/out all year long as their schedule allows. But yeah, does seem odd that the thread got revived 4+yrs later, but then again, there's another thread going on about shore diving in...

Not sure which direct flight you're looking at, but it's always a good idea to e-mail Capt. Vern ahead of time. That way he knows you're coming & if it's close to his 1pm departure time they can wait etc. He can be reached at vfine@hotmail.com

You didn't mention what time frame you're looking at for travel? During low season, I can't imagine any operator not trying to work with you for an extended package. High season will of course be a bit less flexible. Most dive shops on the island run 2 tank dives in the morning & 2 tanks in...

Yep, we do love to beat Costa Rica... especially when it puts us in 2nd place for the FIFA WC 2010!

LMAO!! Wasn't me. I'm more of a Sandy Bay kinda gal. Tranx is about as far East as I go anymore. Besides how could you hear ANYTHING over CoCoLoCo :)

Glad you made it in with all the bags..... Have a great time :) PS: I SWEAR I'm not humming the tune!

Actually, Folgers, Beef Jerky & Velveeta are for Billy, I'm the Extra Sharp Cheddar, Baby Swiss or Gorgonzola gal :) ... and we're off topic, sorry... I wonder what the definition of 'soon' is though?

LMAO! I WISH somebody owed me money :)
