Who knew Honduras?

It was probably the last place I would have looked, but it popped up on a website as one of the best beaches in Central America.  And now, I'm about thiiiiiiis close to buying an airline ticket to Roatan, Honduras.  Sorry Belize, but maybe another time.

I've narrowed it down to few hotels, a couple all-inclusive, a couple very rustic. All are on (or damn close) to the beach, that is a requirement.   Now, on one hand,  I've done the budget travel -- in fact, that's all I've ever done -- and I'm totally down with that again.  BUT, on the other hand, if it's just me, myself and I - maybe there should be a bit of pampering along the way.  I do get hit with a twinge of guilt staying at a fairly nice resort while vacationing in a very underdeveloped country, which is why I haven't booked the hotel yet. Do I just get over it and go posh, or do I stay low-key and go basic?

I'm also trying to decide the best dates. (First. World. Problems.)  Do I go right after school gets out, before the dreadful drive to North Dakota?  Or, do I go at the end of summer, as sort of a "last hoorah" before school starts up again?

ACK, too many questions, right?!?!  Shit, there's another question!  Dammit.  This is where I wish I had someone to come along, to help with this process, so I don't end up overthinking, rethinking and ultimately never making a decision until its too late... I'm nervous to hit the "purchase now" button, but I know that no matter what I chose, it is going to fill up my soul and put a smile on my face.  So, I can't really go wrong, can I?
