Roatan Campbells' Connection

December, 2018 Jingle bells, Jingle bells, jingle all the way …. Oh what fun it is to fly from Roatan to Canada, eh? And that is what we will be doing very soon. We’ve certainly felt blessed to have had this opportunity to return to Roatan. We had no special projects awaiting us, but have filled these three weeks brim-full with good connecting time.   We attended two graduations and congratulated three other graduates. Report cards were collected from the school – only three stops at the school required. Despite being on school break, a group of students have come to our classroom three times a week to study.

So far we haven't had to hoist an umbrella while we are out and about.  Roof repairs provide constant employment during rainy season. While walk...

September, 2018 Hello all!                                                   In the last update, I was predicting we would be home before the road construction season ended.  And….. sure enough!  Late last Saturday night as we were whisked along the 401 on our way to our bed, the Robert Q had to detour due to a Saturday night road closure.  We sure felt welcomed home! The time we spent in Roatan was H-O-T! We thought we were prepared from the heat we’d experienced in Chatham-Kent this summer but as soon as we stepped off the plane we were hit by the sauna-like heat and humidity. On a positive note, sweat is s...
