Megan,
You should have no problem. Your passport needs to be valid 3 months
FROM the date of entry INTO Honduras. This is true for many countries.
They don;t want your passport to expire while you are in Honduras. Also
they have a very good American Consulate in the US Embassy here in
Tegucigalpa that can help you if you should loose your passport or need
some type of assistance.
the Consul General is Ian Brownlee, the telephone number in Tegucigalpa
is 238-5114 xt 4400. You can keep the number handy.
Most problems with luggage occur with TACA airlines. If you are flying
Continental, Delta, American they seem to have less problems. If you
have carry on size bag, you don;t need to check it and can store in the
overhead compartment. Your purse can be stowed overhead or under the
seat in front of you.
Have a great visit to Honduras.
Don;t worry, you should be fine.
