Amidst the sensationalism the media spews throughout television and newspapers, I assure you it's business as usual in most of Honduras with businesses, banks and tourism operating as just another day. And there seems to be a calm peace over the Islanders like never before.
Here in Roatan, Carnival Cruise Lines brought their ship in to port as scheduled this morning and tourists are clambering in taxis, tour buses, and scooters to get their place on the beaches, the attractions and the beautiful natural rainforests Roatan has to offer. There are no military visible on the streets, limited police presence, and no signs of any civil unrest whatsoever!
Flights continue their normal schedules and tourists are everywhere. Restaurants and shops are open for business and eager to assist travelers with their vacation needs. It's a beautiful day in Paradise... and we're loving it!
