Little Corn, Corn Islands, Nicaragua “Want to go to Little Corn?” asked Tez.“Sure. Do you know when the ferry comes?”“No, I’ll ask Stella.” The hotel owner looks at her watch. “Oh, sometime around 10:00.” It’s 9:45. We bundled up our stuff, threw on our packs and handed over a wad of money to Stella for [...]

Big Corn, Corn Islands, Nicaragua The plane touched down and my first thought was, “Hmph, I pictured Caribbean islands as being sunny.” I’m not all that unjustified; the Bay Islands in Honduras were the picture of perfection. Instead, the sky was slate gray and it was windy. Really windy. It felt like there was a [...]

León, Nicaragua Christmas was exactly how I wished it would be. Almost a non-event. The streets were quiet which was a nice reprieve from the normalcy of blaring stereos and muffler-less exhaust systems waking me in the morning. From LeonSome were into the Christmas spirit more than myself. One guy in the hostel renteda Santa [...]

León, Nicaragua I’m not a fan of Christmas. I haven’t been for years now. I’m no Scrooge but this holiday is completely over rated. In the U.S. I hated dealing with mobs of stressed out people in malls, ridiculous amounts of traffic, being bombarded with ads and, of course, the hokey holiday music. This year [...]

Suchitoto, El Salvador The last few days have been a whirlwind of activity but no large events. The days have been about as normals as days can be while traveling and have consisted of mostly hanging out with people that I have already met previously on my travels. On Thursday I moved from Gracias to [...]

Gracias, Honduras After Copan and the Bay Islands I’m not really sure what else there is to see in Honduras. There is always the capital of Tegucigalpa but capitals in Central America aren’t exactly the safest or best places to spend a few days. Looking at other towns that were close to Copan and the [...]

Copan, Honduras I have technically been in Honduras for a little over a week but I really haven’t spent any time in Honduras. The Bay Islands are really their own entity and have a vibe of their own so it was time for me to move onto the mainland and see what this country is [...]

Utila, Honduras After spending Thanksgiving on the beach in Placencia I decided I wanted my holiday season filled with as much beach and water time as possible. Within two minutes of laying on the beach I developed a general travel plan that has me going to the Bay Islands in Hondruas to do some diving [...]
