And so you spent a number of weeks there . . at Cocoveiw, and Westend and up
island. You took the zipline and hustled all the young girls . . um , . .
..so there you were spending so much time in Roatan that you can tell us all

Had a great stay at the Bayman Bay Club many years ago -- long enough
that I can't even remember which island it was on -- but it was out of
the way (they basically boat you around the island from the town and the
airport), thoroughly pleasant, excellent diving.
