Plus you'll be in hotels with private rooms, not in dorm beds in a hostel. Have a blast!

My husband and I are doing the 3/6 traveling-- 3 months in europe (expensive) plus 6 months in mexico/central/south america (super cheap). That way, we figure, we get the best of both worlds...

I wore a little DEET, but that was all. Some people just attract them it seems. As for the heat, I drank that in like a parched man in the desert. To each his own I guess. Shreesh,

The cheap,cheap, cheap, comes at a cost! It is hotter than the hinges of hell and the no-see-ums start biting early. My wife yearns for the cold...

I got back from Honduras a few months ago and spent a whole $12 on a centrally-located room in Tegucigalpa with a private bath+hot water. Even in Roatan, where the gringo chow is a little pricey, I found a breakfast of a baleada (a thick tortilla stuffed with beans & cheese) in a restaurant for 50 lemps (about $2.60). And they were being sold from a van off the street in West End for about half that. The best part, though, was when I had Copan Ruins to myself one morning, unless you want to count the ground crew blowing leaves off the steps. Did you pick up any coffee in Copan? I scored organic coffee beans from a women's coop at $4.50 per pound. It was for sale in a German-run shop in town. Great post.
