Ok, so I will be the first to admit that I have denied the blog (and our faithful readers) for way too long. I wish I had a fabulous excuse to why I haven't been writing but to be honest I don't. After Ode and I had our mutual split in early December and she returned to Utila to obtain her dive masters it was time for me to make decisions about where I would go. As promised I spent Christmas and New Years in Utila with Ode. Our brief reunion was wonderful and we...

So I'm sitting here at work (I work in a diving equipment shop), listening to the White Stripes, thinking of Tina who has moved to Argentina with her great boyfriend Leonardo whom she met in Nicaragua, and I can't help but marvel at where life takes us sometimes.

So we finally manager to leave Utila.Of course this was only after we reached a decision to come back in December and get our Dive Masters!See you soon Captain Jack Attack!We had unfortunate timing about leaving Utila because during that time Honduras was getting tons of rain that resulted in flooding all over the country.So we basically ended up getting stuck in La Ceiba and San Pedro Sula for a couple of days.But as always, we made the best of our time and chec...
