Why we picked It

After our first solo trip to Zihuatanejo, we were inspired. Almost as soon as our plane landed, we were on to researching the next destination. Roatan wasn’t our first choice. It wasn’t even our third or fourth choice. Remember, unattainable bucket list “dream”. So after narrowing the list down quite a bit, Jeron threw Roatan back into the mix at the last minute. We said to ourselves, “Why not?, Why not do it now? Who said bucket lists have to wait?”. So it was decided, all those nights of dreaming of Roatan and we were finally going. Now we just had to get there…
At the time we went to Roatan, the only flights to and from the US were on Saturdays. So that settled the “how long do we stay” issue. We decided to take Jeron’s dad Jerry along for the adventure and on a cold winter’s day, all three of us boarded a plane for Roatan.
