High Season in the Tropics

Everyone is coming down to Central America to escape the cold winters! We're not talking just snow birds here, we're talking about a serious migration of folks. The seasonal rains are ending here and Halloween has launched many climates up north into the cold season. Here in Central America, the beaches will be swarming with people. Everyone will be looking to get that winter tan or catch that killer wave. Surfing is a huge pastime all up and down Central America...From Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama, surfers from the Americas come in droves to hit the surf. This is a really good time for all of the locals to sell their goods, too. Many of the restaurants not only look forward to the business but depend on it! Hotels, beach bungalows and hostels alike are all getting eager to the new season. The local markets, grocery stores and hardware stores are feeling the buzz, too...All in all, it's good for everyone. So, please be safe as you travel through our part of the world. Try and act like a human being and don't be afraid to buy a few more trinkets that maybe you normally wouldn't...that little bit of help can certainly go a long way.
