Wease

In Powell, close to me.

Yup, that was me and it was yesterday. I was buying my drugs...

My brother came over Saturday and we finally got pics of all of our cars. Present are his '13 Focus ST and '04 Mustang Mach 1; and my '86 Mustang GT, '03 Mustang Cobra, and '08 Pontiac G8 GT:

So I got back Saturday after spending a week there and had a fantastic time. Roatan is part of Honduras, but it's not nearly as "poor" as the mainland. We stayed in the resort area of West Bay, where there's only about 7 resorts on a mile or so of beach. This is really the only decent beach area on the whole island, but it and the reef in front of it were amazing. For those who don't know, the 2nd largest barrier reef in the world is right out in front of this island and stretches out towards Belize and up to Cancun. I've been snorkeling in Aruba, Hawaii, and the Keys, and this is by far the best I've ever seen. Saw turtles, grouper, two kinds of sting rays, and piles of other cool stuff. The only thing I didn't see were any sharks, but it wasn't for a lack of looking. The resort itself was really nice. According to many people we talked to on the beach, one of the best out of the bunch. The food was decent, nothing crazy, and all you can drink was really nice. I'm not even a big drinker, but I drank a lot last week. It was paid for, so I took advantage. The beach and the little town north of us (West End) were very safe. My wife ran on the beach every morning and never had issues. It was also super quiet and not busy at all. The only busy day was Wednesday, when a Carnival Cruise ship came in. The beach was packed that day from about 9:00 - 2:00. Then it cleared out really quick. You sure can tell the cruise people: Fat, sunburned Americans. I guess during the busy season (Winter, Spring Break, etc.) there are cruise ships every day and the beach is pretty busy. So if you go, go during Summer / Fall when it's really quiet. I'll post more pics later, but this was a hell of a deal for the money we spent. We plan on going back in about 2-3 years and taking our kids... :nod:

Well they are actually running the same deal here, right now, for the next 11 days. So I'll report back mid week or so and let everyone know how it's been... :nod:

I'm flying into Miami (2.5 hours), then just barely over 2 hours to Roatan. Not bad at all. If I had more time, I would have gotten SCUBA certified before I left, but work / kids / life just didn't really leave me much time. Have you been before?

Back in December I bought a Living Social deal for a week stay at the Mayan Princess in Roatan, which is one of the bay islands of Honduras. Got a pretty good deal on it, all inclusive (food and alcohol), and surprised my wife with the trip on Valentine's Day. I even made her work to figure it out, leaving clues all week with the final one on the 14th. Once she figured it out, I showed her the voucher and where we were going. Here's a pic of the beach I'm gonna be at. I plan on spending most days snorkeling that reef looking for sharks and other cool shit: I also booked two activities while we're there. First we're going on a boat trip around the island, where they will also drop us off at three different places to snorkel, the last of which is a small deserted island out in the middle of nowhere. We also get lunch on that island; lobster, steak, etc. It's all you can eat and drink too! And later on that week, we're doing a dolphin encounter, where you get to swim with them and stuff. I'm pretty sure one of them will try to rape me. Or my wife. Or both of us. So the week of all inclusive, plus airfare was $2755. Not too bad. Add in spending money, the activities, etc. and it's still a really decent price on a week vacation down in the Caribbean...

LOL @ Jones being rich...

She's also in her 40's, so yes... :nod:

My wife ran the Flying Pig Half Marathon yesterday in 1:51 and it's pretty hilly. She finished 30th out of 890 runners in her age group!
