I hope that no one has a camper in the Rio Grand Valley now:

That was back in the mid 90's and I have no recollection of where. The lady moved on so I don't even know what the outcome was.

All I remember was it was taking years to complete, and how inexpensive it was to have a Caribbean view. According to my Belizean friend, Honduras was less honest then Belize when it came to things like that. So building on the Island was a good way to go.

If you were closer, I would share the very last of my Nance Liqueur (made from Belizean Craboo {whatever that is}) with you. It's an acquired taste, which I have yet to acquire. LOL

On edit:

You mention the Port Isabel area, if you have a Facebook account take a look at this little clip to get an idea. Right now (via live webcams) it looks like the Gulf is up to the dunes with a 2-4 foot rise being predicted. Those that got flooded before probably will get flooded again.

...wow, the mid 90s were the "good old days" in Honduras, with relatively stable government (I was working there at that time).

...craboo is a dark berry/grape-ish...jeez, I wouldn't know where you could get that state-side LOL! If you are close to the Bahamas (just a hop from southeast Florida) you may try a craboo shopping jaunt there? Nance: i'd be there ! Thanks for the invite :B

I always remember a "bush drink" made by the Garifuna tribe (a culture established along the Caribbean coast from Belize to Nicaragua), called giffiti (can be spelled 2 or 3 ways), not to be confused with Graffiti LOL. This stuff is made from all sorts of forest/jungle grown materials, marinated in alcohol...usually only served at tribal occasions. The taste is indescribable (something like the worst tasting cough medicine you could ever envision!). I wouldn't recommend it to anyone having to drive, fly an aircraft or pilot a boat....for at least 20~30 hours afterward.

I don't have a Facebook profile, so many Facebook locales are unopenable to me....but I'll try this one. Thanks!

On edit: OK....I was able to watch the facebook vid. Nice cloud formation approaching! The surf was a bit benign for me....but that clip was tagged 22 hours ago...I think things are considerably "rougher" now at Isabel (oh, before I forget; there used to be a passenger and cargo freighter that took people, cars and household items from Port Isabel to Honduras' Puerto Cortes-- the freighter service long since gone out of business).
