And Now for a Brief Commercial...

I want to recommend a great place to stay if you ever have reason to visit Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

We stay at the Humuya Inn (pronounced "Who Moo Ya"). It is very reasonably priced (rates are about what you would expect at a Holiday Inn in the U.S.) for the quality of rooms and the service that you receive. Among the features we enjoyed:

• A large comfortable room, beautifully decorated, with air conditioner and t.v.
• Private bathroom with the best shower I have ever had anywhere in Honduras (actual hot water and good water pressure)
• Wireless internet
• A large lobby with comfortable furniture, including a big screen T.V.
• Room T.V.'s include many U.S. network channels (I even got to watch Tennessee vs. Alabama)
• A great interior courtyard with tropical plants where I watched hummingbirds while I drank my morning coffee
• A rooftop plaza with a spectacular view of Tegucigalpa
• Top notch security, including a doorman at the entrance and a safe in each room
• Free continental breakfast
• Good food with friendly service.
  

One important feature is the quality of the staff. Scott Crook is a North American who has created a top-notch hotel out of what was once a private residence. Scott and his wife (and some of his staff) speak English, which is essential if you are linguistically-challenged like me. They were very helpful in making recommendations, arranging transportation (with quality taxi drivers) and going over and above the expected in ensuring that we had a pleasant stay.

I believe Scott has enough space to accommodate small groups and church teams. The next time your organization plans a mission trip, why not consider an extra day to relax and "regroup" before the flight back home? The airport is only minutes away from the airport, the Cascadas Mall, restaurants, and the Central Market district.

Please tell Scott that Ray Clifton sent you. You won't get a discount, but you will likely get a puzzled look and "Who?" for a response.
