Roatan was fun, fun, fun! Luna Beach where we stayed was awesome, great place and people! Similar to AC in that everyone we met was great. A little less developed than AC but its a much bigger island so stuff is more spread out, its more like a tropical caribbean island with high hills, rainforests and such. Great snorkeling right off shore. No golf carts though... but then that means I didn't fall off one this year!

Bars are more like the Palapa in that they are laid back beach bars, nothing like the Barefoot Iguana that we saw in West End anyway (good.. cause a repeat of foam night would be dangerous!! Foam bad!). Made Jell-o shots again for our Pirate party, luckily we made them when I was sober this time so didn't put the 151 in them by mistake again!

We saw RiverShark and Gene who we had met in Belize last year. They were staying mostly at the other end of the island though at an isolated dive resort.

Our wild little Parrothead group loved Roatan just as we loved AC.. hope to return to both soon. I like the way Jan did the hop from Roatan to Belize, just wish I had enough vaca time to have done the same! Maybe next time....

The Roatan websites and message boards have nothing on the AC ones though. Their message board pretty much sucks. They need to take a lesson from the AC one on that end! Plus it doesn't have the 'characters' that this one has (aka Pedro), which makes it a dull place to go.
