Hello All! Bill and I arrived back in Roatan around 12:30pm today. We visited here last May too. We had to get up at 2:45am to make our 5am flight but overall, we had a smooth travel day. Flights lately have been terrible. A lot of them have 24 or 48 hour layovers somewhere or they are crazy early in the morning. We don’t know why.
We flew through Miami, which is my least favorite airport that we go through. The bathrooms are packed and there was a line, there isn’t enough seating, the food options aren’t great, and something is usually broken. Today it was the sky train. It’s also a really noisy airport.
The nice thing about Roatan is that its only about 2 hours from Miami so it’s one of the quicker places to get to and our apartment isn’t very far from the airport. We had a really nice taxi driver who I was able to practice Spanish with.
Our apartment is beautiful! It’s even nicer than last time. We have 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen and a living room. The living room has a nice love seat and a full sofa. It’s also beautifully built and decorated. The showers are huge and the bathrooms are tiled in a very pretty ocean-inspired tile. I have pictures below.
Bill took a nap after we got here and I read for a while. We were pretty tired and it was hot out. We left around 5pm to get food at a really nice restaurant down the street. Bill got half a roasted chicken and I had fish sticks. The fish sticks are good ones, they aren’t like the crappy ones that come out of a box at home. Overall, the food is good here. We also picked up a few groceries from a little store close to our apartment so we at least have breakfast food. We swam for a while in the pool after we got back. I’m running out of energy pretty fast now.
We don’t have anything planned for tomorrow, which is nice. Friday and Saturday, Bill is doing an advanced open water scuba class, and I’m taking a free diving class. We both need to go to our respective dive schools tomorrow and make sure everything is set up. We also have several days of diving and snorkeling booked. It’s the low season here right now and it’s pretty empty. That makes it easy to book things and we have the pool mostly to ourselves.
I’m done for tonight! Hope you are all doing well!
Traveling with Emily!
