Tour de Roatan - Part 2 Golfing at the Black Pearl Golf Course

As we continue with our Tour de Roatan, we would like to take you to the Black Pearl Golf course here on Roatan. The Black Pearl is part of a huge development that will include a full 18 hole golf course, hotels, a marina, condos and house. Mark and I don't really care about all that extra stuff, were just out there to play some golf. BTW, this golf course was designed by the very famous Pete Dye. We didn't meet him while we were there, but we had a great time. Come on, let's hit the links.

Tour de Roatan - Part 1

You may have heard of the Tour de France, the bicycle race that Lance Armstrong owned for so many years. We'd like to take you on the Tour de Roatan. It's not a bicycle event, however you will be able to see various parts of our island such as: West Bay Beach, part of the Great Mayan Reef, we'll go golfing, snorkeling, eat Thai food and generally have a great time. All of this is possible because Sandi's niece Bente and her husband Mark came to visit us. Join us now for Tour de Roatan - Part 1.

Sunday Morning In The Tropics

A tropical Sunday morning on Roatan in the Bay Islands of Honduras finds us getting ready to head down to the Flowers Bay Baptist Church. Saydee has Sunday mornings pretty much figured out...that is she is going to get left home alone. We would like to show you what church is like in Flowers Bay. You will find some similarities to church in the States and there will be some differences as well.

Canopy Tour Roatan Style

If you have wondered what tourists do when they come to Roatan this video is for you. On our day off Sandi and I went to one of our cruise ship ports and pretended to be tourists. Along the way we ran into one of our friends who operates a zip line canopy tour. We have decided that we will take you along on our tourist adventure. Most tours of this magnitude would cost a pretty penny, however since you are our friends we will cut you a deal. Come on, let's be tourists.

Plumbing Nightmares

You've probably had one of those plumbing days when you would just as soon flush a stick of dynamite down the toilet as pull the toilet to fix the problem. We had one of those days recently. We used something that was very similar to dynamite...or at least the reaction seemed to be similar. Check it out.

The Oak Ridge Boys and Girls

This past Sunday Sandi and I traveled to the town of Oak Ridge. I suppose I could spin some sort of tale about how the Oak Ridge Boys got their start in the town of Oak Ridge on Roatan. However if I did that I don't think you would bite, but I would like to invite you to come with us as we visit Oak Ridge.

We hadn't had a party in a long time, so when Victoria Agular, the lady who cleans the radio station, completed ten years of working at the station it seemed to be a perfect time to throw a party. Cake and ice cream were on the menu and a good time was had by all. I'm sorry that we didn't save and cake or ice cream for you, but you can come to the party anyway.
