This is a place you may just wish to stop in and look around to keep in your memory bank for future reference.

Roatan Island Honduras Local Updates
“Tid-Bits”-
1- In last months Newsletter I suggested some places to stay. There are of course many depending on your desires, standards and budgets. On the Luxury end of the spectrum, remote but still “close in” is one of my favorites. Barefoot Cay Resort is an intimate luxury retreat, including a private 4 acre cay, on the south side of Roatan. We offer beachfront bungalows and villas, and oceanview loft accommodations, with Heavenly beds, fully equipped kitchens, A/C, TV/DVD, high speed internet and courtesy cell phones. Resort amenities include on-site PADI 5 Star IDC dive center, Barefoot Divers, spa, dining services, fitness room, pool, kayaks and more. For more information, visit our websites, www.BarefootCay.com and www.BarefootDiversRoatan.com
2-More new store openings at the new “Mega Plaza” Mall. Medi Centro has opened an office there. This is a satellite branch of the best hospital in LaCeiba. They send to the island all the medical specialists that you will find there. All speak English and certainly nice to lift the level of access to medical care on the island. Also new is a computer store, an optician, an industrial cleaning supply location, “Animal Kingdom” for a Vet, pet care and supplies. Things are really shaping up there. Although most places are rented out, I would think they will be in full swing pretty shortly.
3- Aeromedical Services S.A. Policy
Aeromedical Services (AMS) is a new medical air ambulance service available for the Bay Islands. This is a membership service that supplies helicopter evacuation services for medical emergencies. They are in process of
putting together their website but they do have an “e-brochure”. If you wish a copy outlining their program
email them directly here for a copy- aeromedservices.s.a@westnet.com.au
4-As most of you are aware Roatan is part of a poor country. The upside to investors is that often comparatively things like property taxes are very low. That said often people are called upon to help out with things like schools supplies, medical supplies for the hospitals and clinics and other organizations in need. In this instance I would like to ask for help for the local Law Enforcement. A new organization has been set up that meets each Wednesday at Pineapple Villas in French Harbor called “Crime Watch”. The goals in this instance is to enhance the ability of the local law enforcement through the purchase of much needed gear and supplies. At this time about $30,000+ dollars has been donated and the group is in process of the purchase of three used Ford Crown Victorias, 50 sets of shoulder attached radios that will have the ability to have officers communicate with each other from one end of the island to the other, much needed computers and office supplies, forensic and finger printing equipment and many other items. The goal at this time is $60,000 financially and the end results they are hoping for will enhance the security of the island keeping all more safe and secure. Please visit this site and if you have the ability lend a helping hand. http://www.roatancrimewatch.com/projectsecure/

International Real Estate Investment
-The “World's Bravest Country”?
Big statement, right? I had it as a subject in my last mailing and had a few of you asked about it. I pretty much let the line “hang” in that it was the way I felt but things still seemed a bit up in the air, it was such a big statement. The fact is, I do believe it. Think about it. You have this little country in Central America that decided it did not like it¹s President trying to change the Constitution of this country (like the people allowed in Ecuador and Venezuela) to a far left country where soon after they Nationalized the businesses, the government took over the radio and TV stations and now they have a situation where the leaders there are “President for life”.
When a government takes over the major industries of the country the writing is on the wall. When the teachers have a grip on the far left and not only are out demonstrating when they should be teaching, (not to mention they can get away with telling the children in the schools anything they wish), it is all down hill from there. When the rest of the western hemisphere seems to be making a sharp left, Honduras said “Hold on a minute. Not here, not in this country”.
Honduras stood up to the deposed President Mel Zelaya, stood up to the European Union, stood up to the Organization of American States, stood up to Chavez who threatened to attack, (with the interim President here saying “I am not afraid of you”), and last but certainly not least, stood up to the United States, to President Obama, to Hilary Clinton.
Wow, if that is not BRAVE I’m not sure what is. They had their aid and commerce cut off and the businessmen in the country got together and now contribute millions a week to keep things going because of the financial hits the economy took. The world is gradually changing it¹s mind, the U.S will either reverse it¹s position, (the way politicians do, without admitting being wrong), or they will ultimately loose a long time friend and ally. Honduras does not need them; the U.S just thinks they do. This place is surely the “Lighthouse of Democracy” in the World right now. Could there be any other place south of the border that you should be considering?
No one should fear coming here for political reasons for sure. Heck they had the Miss Honduras contest in La Ceiba two weeks ago. No riots, no demonstrations, no civil unrest. They will have elections in November, there will be a new President, just as the Constitution says they should.
