Wireless internet.

We now have internet by fiber optic cable rather than by satellite.
So we are no longer restricted by band width.
Our system is now wired direct to the Bejuco, the Del Rio, the Jungle and Tucano Lodges.  We use Ubiquity brand APs located in each Lodge
The pool, Bar and Ceiba Tree are all supported by another antenna, allowing browsing at your convenience just about anywhere on the grounds.
I am a happy camper!

The River is quiet in front of the Villas.


Sometimes not!

Paco

 Paco is a Scarlet Macaw.  He is quite domesticated and is one hundred percent free to fly anywhere he wants.
He joins Lucy our English Mastiff, Ace our German Shepherd and Bebe the cat.
Opps forgot the Turtles and a pond full of multicolored Tilapia.
My next project is a large aquarium for river fish crabs and shrimp.

How to Know You’re Safe Overseas

How to Know You’re Safe Overseas
The expats living in each of our top havens report they feel safe. In fact, often they say they feel safer than they did back in the States. That’s not to say there’s no petty crime or that nothing bad ever happens.

But just as you wouldn’t dismiss the idea of owning a condo on Chicago’s upscale Magnificent Mile because of the crime stats on that city’s south side…you shouldn’t reject a town we recommend in a country where you can retire well for less… because you remember hearing something about that nation being “dangerous.” Old stereotypes die hard. You’re best served by seeing a place for yourself. Talk to expats on the ground. See how comfortable you feel there. We predict: You’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Take Daphne Newman, who lives in Caribbean Honduras. She’s spending just US$1,400 a month to live yards from a white-sand beach on the island of Roatán. Only a three-hour flight from the US, English-speaking Roatán with its world-class reef just offshore, is an easy place to make friends and fit in.
