Arrival In Paradise

I wanted to report on our trip and let you know that we have arrived safely and are enjoying ourselves. We left State College Pa. and flew to D.C. All went well and then we flew to Houston. Again a smooth and enjoyable flight. We got into Houston at about 1230 A.M. and our connecting flight to Roatan didn't leave until 10:00 A. M. We have had this problem before, its due mainly to few flights going to Roatan. In preceding years in other airports we have found reading areas which have couches where you can sleep but not so in Houston. We found a deserted waiting area and tried to get a little sleep but it was very cold so it turned out to be a long night. But we survived and here we are in paradise. We had made reservations at a lodge called The Backpackers Host but found this too rough and so we had to scramble and get a cabby to take us to another lodge called The Pirate Den which we found more to our living style. We have a very nice apartment with TV and internet with aview of the Caribbean . Our first night here we went to a restaurant in West End which features roasted chicken. This has got to be the best tasting chicken in the world. Mary has scheduled a vendor selling fresh vegetable to come to the lodge several times a week so we can get fresh produce. The temperature is in the 80's with a constant breeze blowing from the ocean keeping us cool. We can pick bananas, mangoes, papaya's for breakfast. he lodge sets on 5 or 6 acres and there are chickens and dogs roaming free. Its a very restful place.
