Well, we are currently stuck on the island of Utila due to a massive storm that has been blowing through for the past 4 days. We're gonna try to leave today but there is major flooding on the mainland side as well and the harbor keeps closing. Keeping our fingers crossed for safe, non-puking passage.
We've had a great time on the island (minus the rain, hurricane force winds, 2 dead washed-up rare dolphin whales, and inablitiy to finish our scuba certification due to rough seas and zero visability) but are aching to move on. Maggie recieved sad news about her grandfathers passing on New Years Day and is really missing her family and sending her love (happy birthday Sonja!). It seems as though we're going to have to skip rafting the Cangreal in La Ceiba due to floods, so we're currently trying to get a plane to Nicaragua and hope for better weather.
On the plus side, we both love scuba diving and look forward to more. It's incredible breathing underwater and seeing that world close up. Best part about diving in Utila is no sharks!
Just got word the ferries running so a quick goodbye to you all!
Love,
M n H

To the world travelers--
Don't get all your experiences in in one trip or you'll find no reason to have another, just kids...
Sorry to herar of Papov (sp?) passing I know you' d want to be there for your ma. Utila with all the turmoil still sounds lovely, To another time meeting of the minds in foriegn lands Terra, you and I (is that propwer english?) Well maybe you've heard about our storm seems like just another fierce winter though CNN seems to be spreading the trauma and drama across the natiuon and terrorizing the nation with "blizzard" conditions. We have recieved 10 feet ( no I did not stutter 10') in the last 36 hrs. Lots of fresh powder too bad 80 is closed down. Power was out for a day though now we have tech-no-logy back I can get updates.... Back to the classroom Monday, if we don't have a snow day (cross your fingers) To health and happiness in the new year and safe travels...Bien Vieja
