US Travel Warning again!

10 years ago

I've been away and I'm not sure if this topic have been discussed but on June 24 the US made known a new travel warning about traveling to Honduras.
I also read about it in the Honduran newspaper El Heraldo.
I have both articles in English and Spanish.
Also: last night I cried my eyes out after watching the video they show in this newspaper about the taxi driver.
I'm tired of listening how crime doesn't affect the tourists!-What a joke!-The Canadian guy was a tourist, the doctor victim of armed robbery was a tourist,the guy who was likked in oatan was a tourist!
They also say that the crime has increased in La Ceiba and other cities.
I understand some people are trying to protect their business in these places and they come to these blogs and deny everything but El Heraldo is not denying it.Also:there is an expat community closed blog that mentioned how the police is being asked not to tell the media about the recent crimes.
Honestly I'm concerned about moving to Honduras and putting my adult children lives in danger since they are always carrying their IPads and taking pictures.
Oh I know, they say that Roatan is so peaceful!-They say the same thing about La Ceiba and other cities!-It depends where these people have their business!
I don't feel comfortable about sending so much money to Honduras anymore (to pay for our property).
Please,don't come here denying the statistics!-Check the local newspapers as I do daily and read for yourselves!-Lying doesn't change anything!
