    So now you're thinking I've flipped my lid, come on man, a private island for $100 a night!?!?   It's true!  Just 20 miles off the coast of Honduras, and not far from Roatan, are two little islands that can be yours.  Little Cay and Sandy Cay are both super cheap if you want to kick back on your own island.

  2. Another Epic Journey – Roatan to Livingston

    Blog: Viva Latin America! - 16 May 2011

    You know a trip which was already going to be difficult isn’t destined for trouble when your alarm clock doesn’t go off and then the first form of transport is cancelled. We were finally grateful for the rooster which woke us at 0500 as the battery to our alarm had died overnight. Then after another [...]

  3. The Long Journey – From Granada to Roatan via Managua

    Blog: Viva Latin America! - 11 May 2011

    We knew this trip was never going to be too much fun as we would be traversing the width of the continent, but thanks to the Tica Bus, it could have been a lot worse. We were starting from Granada which isn’t the jumping off point for the Tica bus, so in the afternoon we [...]

  5. Roatan Shark Dive with Waihuka Dive Center

    Blog: Have Internet Will Travel - 9 May 2011

    One of the things we wanted to check off our to-do list before leaving Roatan, was the Shark Dive. It was something we wanted to do on our first trip, but somehow time slipped away from us, and we just never got around to it. When we were back this fall we made sure it [...]Read the original article here: Roatan Shark Dive with Waihuka Dive Center

  16. We Live And We Learn

    Blog: Hecktic Travels - 28 December 2010

    I can't believe we have been here over one week and I have no discernible tan lines to show off. Even Pete's first-day farmer burn has disappeared, and we both look as pasty white as we did when we got off the plane. I had expected to already have my name carved into a shady palm tree, marking my spot on a beach for the months to come. I had visions of spending Christmas Day under said palm tree, a fruity drink in hand and the sound of waves permanently ringing in my ears.

  18. ¡Bienvenidos a Roatán!

    Blog: Hecktic Travels - 22 December 2010

    It is awfully hard to believe that just a week ago we were saying goodbye to one home, and braving the icy mountain roads to begin our journey to another. Our few days in between driving and flying south were jam packed with quick goodbyes, long car rides, and a whole lot of swelling in my bum leg. It was a painful journey - to say goodbye once again to our beloved family and friends, and rush rush rush (as fast as my leg would allow) to pull it all together in time.

  21. Roatan’s West End

    Blog: Brilliant Tips Travel Blog - 12 November 2009

    As the name suggests, the village of West End is located at the western end of the gorgeous Caribbean island of Roatan. The most popular tourist spot in Roatan, especially among budget travelers, West End has beautiful white sand beaches that are protected by a living coral reef. The reef is so close that you can easily swim out to it and snorkel or dive. In fact, spectacular diving is the main attraction here and the village is kind of like one big dive resort. Visitors will find cheap, comfortable ...
