ship auto to roatan by burtnap
I have a 1963 Jeep cj-5, but i'm told vehicles can't be more than 10 years old. Can I say this is a classic? is there such a catogory in Honduras? I really like this Jeep and don't want to sell it.:cool:
My best advice is to contact a lawyer for this, I think you can introduce it with some legal artifact. I would take all the valuables though and just leave the metal, then once in Honduras put all things back Read More

Medical Care
You can purchase insurance in Honduras it shouldn't be that expensive. I would recommend the private hospitals in La Ceiba which are quite good. You can check with Tricare, but my bet is it would be way cheaper to just get insurance in Honduras Read More
