Do you remember those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books that you would order through the Scholastic book club when you were a kid? You know … the ones that allowed you, the reader, to be a double agent or a famous celebrity or even a swashbuckling pirate? If you recall, with those books you were allowed to make the pivotal decisions for your character that would lead you through the pages of the book on your own personal journey.
On a recent trip to Honduras, I was reminded of those books. Perhaps it was the Indiana Jones-type adventure of exploring the country’s Mayan ruins or my Tarzan-like day hiking through the Pico Bonito rainforest or even the enchanting pirate culture of Roatán that brought back my childhood memories of these much-loved novels. But, most likely it was the fact that Honduras has so much to offer that it makes a great vacation destination for pretty much any kind of traveler on any kind of budget. So it is me paying homage to the “literary works” of my childhood when I bring you … Honduras: Choose Your Own Adventure.
