Welcome:

Today is March 25th.  This is my first Blog ever.  My name is Debbie and my husband and I are moving to Roatan and I wanted to document my move, and once I arrive in Roatan, what there is to see and do, and give you an idea about all the fun restaurants on the island.

We will be arriving on Roatan on April 18th.  I'm so excited.  We are only shipping a few boxes (hopefully) through UPS and taking 2 suitcases, 2 totes, 2 carry-ons, my purse and laptop.

Where and what is Roatan you ask?  Roatan, Honduras is an island off the coast of Honduras in the Caribbean Ocean.  It's 40 miles from the mainland, the island itself is 48 miles long and 5 miles wide.  The main language of Honduras is Spanish, but most everyone speaks English on Roatan.  It's main industry is tourism.  It's one of the top dive sites in the world.  Unfortunately when it comes to diving I'm a chicken, but I do love to snorkel and can't wait to check out all the reefs close to shore.

According to Wikipedia the population in 2020 was 110,000.  There are several towns around the island.  The airport is in Coxen Hole and the other bigger town is French Harbor where we will be living.  

The popular tourist areas are West End and West Bay - obviously on the west side of the island.

Stay tuned for more posts in April.

 Oops, didn't realize it's been a whole year since I've posted last.   Well we we wanted to go to The Wok, but they didn't open until 12 and it was 11:20, so I didn't want to wait 40 minutes - we walked next door to the bakery to see if they offered anything for lunch.  They had a large lunch menu including soups, salads, burgers and salads.   The burger didn't mention french fries and since it was a bakery, I wasn't expecting big portions, so Greg ordered the burger and I ordered the pesto pasta salad and we were going to split each item.  Well we get our food and the burger is huge and it came with french fries, so we split his lunch and took mine home to eat for dinner.  Of course I had to nibble on the pasta first, it was delicious.

 This is a great place for all you coffee lovers.  They have a bunch of different coffee drinks and they sell their own roasted coffee for $16 a lb.    I don't drink coffee so the only reason we tried this place is Greg won a free lunch there.  He received a drink, sandwich and dessert from a radio contest.  Funny thing about the sandwich  - they only have 1 Yes that's right - 1 (ONE) sandwich.  It's a Panini and you have your choice of 1 meat and one cheese for $8.  You can add on extra meat for another $2 - I would recommend this.  The sandwich comes with meat, cheese and a mayo/pesto sauce.  That's it.  No lettuce, tomatoes or anything else. Greg said his iced coffee was good. Here is our Panini Sandwiches - we both ordered bacon: They have several different desserts from Carrot Cake, brownies and their homemade icecream.  They have 7 different flavors.  I forgot to take a picture of the menu, but they have a "Family Brownie Sundae" for $25.  I had to ask..

 Ok, I'm really sorry everyone.  I was told this was a Thai restaurant - turned out it was Sushi and Chinese food. lol  We are so glad we stopped.  They have the best fried rice I've had in years, maybe ever.  We ordered pork dumplings as appetizer and split an orange chicken plate.  The dumplings were tasty and had lots of pork, the orange chicken came with broccoli with sesame seeds sprinkled, the fried rice was light and fluffy with egg, onion and soy sauce mixed in.  They don't have a very big menu, sushi, stirfry options where you add proteins to rice, or noodles, we'll have to try that next.  We will definitely be back.
