T-1 - Move Day Has Finally Come

It is 6:16 pm on December 31st, 2021.In the morning, on the first day of 2022,  at 11:15 am, my plane will pull away from the gate at DFW and fly to RTB.  Those are the call letters for Roatan, Honduras - an island in the Caribbean - and is the second largest reef in the world.  

You can learn more about Roatan here:

I will be living in West End literally across the street from the Lily Pond House Restaurant - so if you want to see it on a map that is the easiest thing to look for.  The island is about 48 miles long by 5 miles wide at the widest part.  I am living at the Red Marker below...

Life will be a mixture of working remotely doing exactly what I am doing now, and relaxing (as soon as I learn how), and diving.  I am hoping to improve my underwater photography skills, my fish identification skills, my diving skills, and whatever else I can find that looks interesting!

To answer the most common questions I am being asked right now:

• I am going alone; I am not afraid
• I am staying at least a year - maybe more if I love it; maybe less if something warrants that
• I am coming back to the states approximately once a quarter
• They do have dependable internet
• I will get around by water taxi and land taxi and walking

Watch here for more posts - will try to post at least once a week so I can remember the adventure.  Will work on having photo's to go with it.

Now off to celebrate the New Year with my friends - wish they could all come with me!
