Hi Katie, We were not promoting anything by staying. It was, at that time one of the safest places on earth. We had other obligations at home that we wanted to tend to. In hindsight we should have come early :wink: SueJ I don't feel we made any gambles or bad decisions. In my opinion the...

I have a pretty strong math background and understand various non linear growth patterns. Perhaps you had a good handle on it, but most did not, and outside of few organizations - who are still bickering on what R0 is for this beastie really is, and with the way the information was largely...

Ok, you made this comment in your 1st post: "...Yet blame the US Government when things south." Your comment is also a bit vague - not sure what you think we were blaming the government for unless it was that 'abandonment' thing. To set the record straight - Do I feel we were 'reckless' nope...

You are correct WRT your count - a bit shy of the real number actually. I have started to look at the data to get a sense of the actual growth rates, and here is what I found: This data is all in the US and anybody can verify this by going to the Johns Hopkins site. By 3/9 there were 584 cases...

Also OT: A lot of people who drive Porsches have absolutely no idea on how to drive a Porsche :-) Was just out - many people walking, riding bikes, and generally milling about, also speed traps - this is on country roads! Be safe and thoughtful out there - wow what a concept. Ray - Cynic at...

That is usually towing a race car! figure 70-80mph... I don't want to get stopped in Canada... :-)

Hi Katie, Montreal is a 6-7 hour drive for us - we go to Mount Tremblant several times a year during the summer. I forget what tickets down cost, pretty sure we used FF miles...

Sorry, I forgot to add that United was there the whole time. They were active during the travel ban as they were prepared to deal with the issues of no passengers on the flight TO Roatan (deadhead?) Trouble is that unless you had a ticket on United, you did not get to fly.

We ended up using Global Guardian as the charter company. It was the 3rd company, but had the best political connections, which in the long run mattered the most. Of the three US airlines flying both Delta and American walked away from Honduras just as fast as they could. I was mouthing some...

Hi All, . Let's go straight to the horses' mouth - that would be my wife & I - Rosenzweig and Bahr 1st observation, there are sure a lot of arm-chair quarterbacks out there! Let's chat about the real way this played out: Maybe 6 months ago we planned this trip, bought tickets etc. Shortly...

Hi Katie, We are at the Utila Lodge.

Safe travels! There are several Canadians here who are likely to be on that flight. I am waiting and hoping that American Airlines will do something soon!

My 1st indication of this was here: Honduran President Announces Border Closing for a Week on COVID-19 | MbS News This closure was NOT full. I know of planes that have left over the last several days Folks we dove with got home to Phoenix, AZ this AM

Some new news (for me). I have been told that the islands are in lockdown. This means that if we want to go from Utila to Roatan with no currently booked flight, and with a destination, we still cannot just go there. Fortunately, we are in a great place, so the wait is as good as it can be... Ray

There have been a number of Canadians that have been able to leave. I hear there may be another Canadian flight on Thursday We are still in a holding pattern, may try and move to Roatan... Hope all have signed in with the SmartTravler program. Ray

There are always 'buts', and this is no different - we should have been home tonight as we have responsibilities there - not children, but still important. As such, I would rather be home... Ray

There is a political nature to the no diving dictate. WRT strapping a tank on and getting wet, that is an option. I was hoping to at least start my DM cert...

Hi All, My wife and I are on Utila. We have been told that the Roatan airport is closed. That said there was a United flight that got out to Houston this afternoon. We were unable to get seats... We seem to be getting mixed messages. We heard that all travel air, land, sea was shut down... As...

PM me your email, I will get these out tonight when I get home. Ray

I have a SL961 with not many dives and all the fixins...
