My first trip to Latin America started out on September 1, 2007 from Orlando early in the morning, and put me in to San Pedro Sula (SAP) Honduras at around 1 in the afternoon. After arriving and getting my first taxi in Latin America, I was off and running. Packing the night before and the time change cut my evening short. I enjoyed a wonderful dinner of Comida Tipica Hondureña, which was steak, beans, avacado, plantains, tortillas and rice, of course! It was great and topped it of with a wonderful Port Royal. Which in short was a very typical Honduras meal. 
The next day I got up and walked about 2 blocks from my hotel, the Hilton Princess, to CityMall which is a very nice mall. I walked around for a few hours and then decided I needed to augment my collection of fútbol jerseys with one from Honduras. I chose Olimpia because it looked cool and had a Honduras flag on it and there logo included a lion. Afterwards I beat the heat outside next to the pool. So all in all it was a great relaxing day in San Pedro.
My first day of visits was good and I got to meet some great kids. I also had a great driver who took me all around to make sure I got to my visits and the airport on time. Some
how I also managed to make sure that Hurricane Felix followed me down here. In two hours, it will hit the coast and hopefully not make my day to interesting. In the airport on my way to Tegus, I noticed many travelers who were changing there arrangements due to the evacuation of Roatan and some of the Bay Islands. Also on my very short flight, I was seated next to a pilot in 
the Fuerzas Aereas de Honduras. As we were talking during our flight, she was very interested in my life as an Admission Counselor and how I get to travel so much. She was very nice and actually offered me a ride to my hotel. Shows just how nice people are down here. I am also located in a room on the top floor of the Tegucigalpa Marriott, with a great view and I am resting up for my next day. So far I am having a great time and am ready for my next adventure.
