I ran into this article regarding Clinica Esperanza this morning and thought I would share it……… When Columbia resident Gregory Norris’ ear began to throb during a scuba outing while vacationing in Roatan, Honduras, he knew he needed medical attention. But what Norris didn’t know is that the visit to Roatan’s Clinica Esperanza would be the best trip to a …
Legal Advice
If you are purchasing property in the Bay islands, no attorney there (wherever ‘there’ is), will be able to advise you. If you are running a purchase past your attorney ‘there’ or running it by your accountant ‘there’, you have a 99.9% chance of getting a ‘blank stare’. Some who buy here wish to use their professionals ‘there’ to advise. …
The ‘Rainy’ Season
I pretty much dislike that term, ‘rainy season’, in that it becomes ‘all encompassing’ giving the impression that when it is the ‘rainy season’ here that all it does is rain. That is not even close to being accurate. A better word for the season really would be ‘winter’ The only difference is that it is ‘better wet than white’. …
Auto repair on Roatan
Although the auto repair shops look nothing like what you have where you live in that they basically are outdoor facilities with drive in bays. They still may have the alignment rack and hydraulic lift in the bay and seem a bit strange when you pull in, they can certainly be very competent with the computer needed to do the …

From now until the end of the year you still have time to take advantage of the tax amnesty now in effect until the end of this year. This cover any year you have not paid starting 2012 or before. The fines can be substantial so if you have not paid your taxes now is the time. Although ‘here is …
Obama Care getting you down? …….How about Honduran Care?
With my being here on Roatan, (and it really makes little difference to me politically on which side my readers are on in regard to all the trauma going on in the U.S. regarding the medical situation in the U.S.), because much of what happens there matters little to us here, especially medical care. It seems that the past couple …
