Travel/Tickets: USA versus Honduras in San Pedro Sula, Honduras (10/10/2009)

I'm on the flight from Atlanta....

 

Im staying through Monday also...Im thinking Sunday may not be a bad day for some good R and R and take a quick 25 minute cab ride to the beach and find a nice little beach bar somewhere with sand, cold beers, umbrellas in my fruity drinks, and good local fun..

 

For those staying over until Monday, one of the Americans that is living down here and going to the game with us, is having a pool arty at his house on Sunday.

The directions for my bar to tell the cabbie are as follows....

Jardines del Valle
Bulevar principal
4 calle
Atras del supermercado Dilex

It is the 2nd bar in from the corner we have a sign out International Doghouse Tavern
Friday night there will be a tent in front

My local phone number down here for anyone with questions is 98658033

 

Thanks, Frank. When do you open on Friday?

 

I'm flying in on Friday from MIA and staying at the Hilton. I contacted the hotel and was informed that the shuttle from the airport is 10 dollars.
Let me know if anyone's arriving at the same time and would like to share the shuttle.

 

Hey guys and gals who are going,

Can you do us all a big favor and hold up a huge banner that says something to the effect of:

"F@CK YOU MEDIAPRO"

 

I get in around noon on Friday with the other Boston guys. I wouldn't mind dropping some crap at the hotel (or not) and grabbing a taxi to hit the beach for the afternoon before heading to Frank's for some beers in the evening.

Anyone getting in on Friday or before like the sounds of that?

 

that would certainly get the confusion of the Honduran supporters

 

I didnt realize the beach was so close. I'd be up for that.

 

Hey man...I made reservations at the Hilton and the Intercontinental hotel...I need to cancel one out of the two hotels and as you know both hotels are sold out for this weekend.....I think I'm going to end up staying at the IC...So we can share a room or I can change the Hilton reservation into your name...let me know what you think...I'm leaving out tommorow morning so try to get back with me ASAP....

 

Hey man,

When did you come back from Spain?

 

To everyone who is heading down for the match; have a blast, do us proud cheering for our boys and be safe!

I'm looking forward to hearing some awesome stories at the tailgate on Wednesday!

 

For those going, i'd like to repost this video to inspire you to while in the stadium. You must seek out and find the Turtle Egg vendor. Consider it a rite of passage. Ask the people around you in the stadium and they'll get the guy to come over. It's a must.

Got back at the end of June. Gave me enough time to head down to DF for the match at Azteca. I'm in Rio de Janeiro fro the forseeable future right now. Difficult to find anyone playing futebol here. :>

 

You will have no problem finding the turtle egg vendors, they will approch you all day long

 

We open at 4.30 friday

 

I just got down here to SPS...Customs and what not are not too bad at all...A few dollar tips go along way down here with the staff at the airport and help you get in and get out very quickly..

Im at the Hilton in room 205 if anyone wants to stop by..I will do some sightseeing and scouting tonight. So far everyone has been friendly down here and they are excited about the match..Andrew

 

Now that my travel travails have been resolved, I have a confirmed flight for Saturday morning. I get in to SPS at 1:30 pm. Sadly I will miss the Friday party, but will be there in time to see the game and celebrate a US victory.

If you guys come up with a plan for Saturday pregame, or if you get a local cell phone number, hit me up so I will know where to find you.

Enjoy som ecold ones for me in the mean time.

 

Safe travel to everyone. I wish I was going with you. Go USA
