Day 1… After months of planning and preparing for our trip
to Honduras we are finally on the plane, covering the first leg of our trip to
Miami, staying overnight, then fly out at noon the next day to San Pedro Sula,
Honduras… The whole purpose of this trip is to work with Children’s Impact
Network (cinonline.org) in Pena Blanca, but we decided to turn this into a big
family vacation since this is the year Steve gets to take a sabbatical leave
(an extra three week’s of vacation). We
will be spending 24 days traveling around to different parts of Honduras. Despite the travel advisories, we decided to
visit Honduras after discovering that it really has a lot to offer - delicious
food, great coffee, Mayan ruins, exotic bird watching, rain forest, and snorkeling
in the blue Caribbean water. Sounds
perfect for a three week adventure.
So tomorrow, after a two hour flight to Honduras, hopefully
a driver will be waiting for us on the other side with a sign that says
“Hacienda San Lucas”- that’s where we’ll be staying at our first stop in
Honduras. We plan to drive to the small
town of Copan- a three hour drive from San Pedro Sula where there are well
preserved Mayan temples and the hieroglyphic steps.
We really have no idea what to expect so hiring a driver seemed
like the safest option when traveling to a new country that has a travel advisory,
and with three kids in tow. One thing I
know, it will be a wonderful adventure.
