Bush’s fault.
Surprised to see Panama City in there. Nice to see nothing from Colombia made the list.
My brother-in-law is from Honduras and he and my sister and their kids used to travel back there every year to see his family in San Pedro Sula and I've made the trip with them many times.
It is now so dangerous he won't go back there unless it's a direct flight to the Bay Islands........
About 4 years ago his niece's 30 year old son disappeared along with two of his best friends and have never been seen since.
The story behind that is, the two friends were heading to one of their rental homes to turn over the keys to a Mexican couple (???) and on the way they picked up David. Once they arrived a van pulled up and several gunmen jumped out and abducted the boys and the Mexican couple - this is the story that the boys's armed security guard, who managed to get away, gave . Because the boys' family was wealthy, the boys always had a guard with them. The authorities suspected that the Mexican couple were affiliated with a drug cartel and the gunmen were with another and were waiting for them........Unfortunately the boys were all caught in the middle.
On my last trip to Honduras around 2002 or 2004, my nephew went down a few days before us and stayed with his cousin Mario. On one of the nights the van he rented was broken into then after the rest of arrived and checked into the hotel in San Pedro Sula several days later, it was broken into again. Then the next day, we heard distant gunfire and as it turned out, gunmen had boarded a city bus and killed a bunch of passengers. That was attributed to a "turf war" that was going on between two rival bus companies..........
Every trip I ever made there was an adventure of one kind or another
Honduras was always a great place to vacation with my BIL's honduran family, all of us would end up in the small little town of Tela Mar and rent a couple beach houses and relax.......not any more.
