-Happy New Year! -Cruise ship news -Better Wet than White -New Listings -Web Site info -Roatan Real Estate Promotion Happy New Year and hello from Roatan! Hope all is well with you and your families and things for 2006 in regard to health, happiness and success happen in the best possible way for all of you. I realize that I skipped a month for the holidays, and though I heard from a few of you looking for the letter, basically it just did not happen. I was in the states visiting children and grandchildren and though found myself still doing a lot of emails and steering the ship via technology, it was an enjoyable trip. While there found myself in a ³reverse culture shock² situation, with all the stores, selections and abundance of choices, but after a bit got used to things like expressways at 70 mph again. In a ³it¹s a small world² situation even met a long term Roatan neighbor/friend /client at Epcot Center just by chance. Truly a very small world. Hope you all had an enjoyable Holiday season with your loved ones. Cruise Ship News- Although I have not heard this from the ³horses mouth² so to speak have it from very good source that Royal Caribbean Cruise lines has signed a 30 year lease with the island for the cruise ship dock in Coxen Hole. The downside of that for cruise ship orientated businesses will be that there will be fewer cruise ships the end of this year and maybe some of next. The upside is that Royal Caribbean should have the best of the ships that seem stop in regard to passengers and the economic impact on the island when they do visit. As they adjust their schedules there will be a temporary slow down in traffic, but overall believe it will mean fewer in numbers and better in quality, which for the island overall is a plus. New Listings- Although the holiday season was upon us, (and here it means that the entire country just stops for a couple of weeks), our Roatan Real Estate staff did not stop the hard work they do at pursuing a wide variety of property listings for your consideration. New Listings - A two bedroom / two bath condo in West Bay at a price that has not been seen in some time now, Just $179,000! Should not last long. http://www.roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=231 How about a 3br/2ba home on a 6.33 acre parcel with sea views for only $160,000 ? http://www.roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=229 One acre of beach front - 130¹+ of beach http://www.roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=221 Ten acre development site with great water views http://www.roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=228 Arguably the best view site on the island. Two acres directly west of the ³View² restaurant. http://www.roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=232 One of the best home sites at Lighthouse Estates on the far southwest corner of the island. Large half acre and just a short walk to West Bay Beach! A really great spot for a large beautiful home. http://www.roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=59 Dividing large acreage! The link below will take you to our site and a page that advertises 153 aces. Well this owner has agreed to divide it up in as little as 3/4 acre home sites, some even on the waterfront. If this east end of island is something you think may interest you contact our Tom Campbell directly at tcampbell....hn http://www.roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=218 Better Wet than White- Often asked here about ³rainy season². Yes it occurs but is not what some picture, that being monsoons for days at a time. Is there rainŠcertainly. It can be a day or part of a day or a morning or an afternoon, but for some reason, (not a meteorologist), seems to happen mostly at night. When is it? Well it is like saying when is it cold for winter there. Can be as early as October and as late as February. For the most part seems to be a couple of months of cloudy/sunny/rainy days that provide much needed water for the tropical plants and flowers, not to mention the need for the human needs. Overall , to me a very pleasant time of year, where I do not wear sun glasses daily and enjoy beautiful cool nights for sleeping. Always have contended, (have lived in northern Michigan and the Chicago area), Better wet than white. Website Info- If you have not browsed our site in awhile you may wish to take a few minutes and do such. We recently have added both ³Buyer² and ³Seller² links and the information in the ³Investing² area gives great info on financing with retirement funds & legal residencies. Considerable useful information right to your screen. http://www.roatan-realestate.com Roatan Real Estate Promotion and Gratitude- Although we had been doing this unofficially for the past year or two, depending on availability and situation, I have decided to utilize the occasional ³perk² that it was into a year long promotion.
