We departed Anchorage (two hours late) on Dec 29 -- the Continental redeye to Houston and then a quick link to the non-stop to Roatan, the Bay Islands of Honduras. We spent 9 days at CoCo View Resort, doing 35 dives between us --- great weather (avg 85 degrees), great diving (water temp 80 degrees), amazing sealife, good food, fun people -- and then back to Houston (Bar-B-Que at Goode Company and a drive through the old neighborhood), non-stop to Seattle the next morning -- then stuffed into a Alaska Airlines 737 to Anchorage, arriving to ten below and a snow covered car (and a moose in the back yard)
