Which Honduran Island: Utila or Roatan? thumbnail

When we were planning our trip to Honduras, there was endless chatter regarding which of the two most popular Bay Islands was best (poor Guanaja got the short end of the stick).

Surviving Sunjam thumbnail

I’m breaking my normally chronological posting in honor of next weekend’s big event in Utila, Honduras.

What can I say, pancakes seem to cure a hangover in a way rice and beans just can’t. This is…

We left Water Cay knowing we’d be back in just 24 hours for Sunjam, which marked the end of our trip. With that in mind we were determined to make the most of our remaining time in Utila. For the girls that meant more beach time, but for Mark and me it meant after having so…
