Honduras... Today!

KK, Paul, La Manzana, Christie, Alisha, Dan F, myself and a few othersare headed south today. I think everyone is fairly excited at this point. KK didn't sleep last night (tied). Same with Sam (well Iretired at about 2 from the vise). Paul slept like a bear. La Manzana and Sam are playing phone tag. Alisha and Christie are gathering their things ( Ithink Alisha was packed last week... KK, Paul, and Sam still haven't packed). We have enough rods though, at least we think so. Got 2 rods from Beulah, some Winstons, some Scott's, some other random sticks,and borrowed an extra 2 Winston's from Mike B last night just in case. Paul Bloch helped me tie last night and Paul C. DJ'd some of the worst music Ihave ever listened to for more than an hourfrom the kitchen table.

Gear List that IPlan to Pack: Simms Flats Boots, Fishpond Rod Tube, 2 Loop Opti Reels, 1 Ross Momentum, 1 Hatch Reel, 2 Scott STS Rods, 1 Scott X2S Rod, 2 Winston BiiMX Rods, 1 St. Croix Rod, Simms Neoprene Wading Socks, Flies, Flip Flops, Shop Hat, Camera, Patagonia Lumbar Stormfront Pack, Passport, Leader/Tippet, Kaenon/Costa Shades, Simms Shorts, Patagonia Shirts, Bottle Opener, Aspirin, Lines, Skull Candy, Cutter/Plier, and Sanuks.

If half of this list makes it in the bag, Iwould consider today's packing a huge success.

Things I know will make it in the bag: Sanuk Flip Flops (The Beer Cozy Flops from Sanuk are unreal nice flops), Scott STS 8wt, Hatch Reel, Flies, and Bottle Opener.

Much shorter list, and more realistic...

More updates about our trip coming soon.
