Going Back to Roatan...Woot!!!

[Dave Zimmerly]

Just confirmed our reservations to Fantasy Island 13-20 May. It will be our second time there. Had a great time last year. Any SB'ers gonna be there, let me know.

50 days and counting. How the heck am I supposed to get any work done?

Make sure you bring some DEET for the no-see-ums. They can be nasty when the sun starts to go down.

I went to Anthony Keys a couple years ago. Best trip I have ever had. I had been told about the bugs and came prepared I thought. I even had a bottle of 100% Deet. None worked until a local told me about Catus Juice. You can even get it with SPF. Have fun.

Be advised there is a rotavirus epidemic in progress (vomiting, diarrhea, fever). Be extraordinarily careful about where you eat and sanitation in general. The virus is very stable and can live in the environment (on surfaces) for extended periods of time.I live in Honduras and just received an email from the US Embassy in Tegucigalpa about this.
Some folks on another board I frequent have been whining and complaining about having their trip to Roatan ruined by illness. If you think you may havea rotavirus infection, immodium, peptobismol, and kaopectate should be avoided per the embassy FAQ on rotavirus. Adult illness is generally mild, children can require hospitalization because of dehydration.

DiversMom - Do you have a link to the embassy FAQ you could share?
