Hi Angel!
You, as well as everyone else on this group forum have been SO
helpful! I greatly appreciate it so much!
I had a feeling they were residential-type neighborhoods. They sounds
pretty safe too, so that's good.
I will be staying for about 2 weeks.
My mom is STILL worried about me and only thought I should go the MOST
4 days, but my fiance and I are also getting married so I want to
spend as much time as possible there.
I am really feeling at ease now and am getting more excited than
nervous. I will still do my research too though and I also have this
book I got out of the library called Honduras and The Bay Islands. It
is dated July 2006 too so I'll be getting up-to-date things with that
too as well as here on this group forum!

downtown Tegus or Comayaguela. It's a pretty area a bit away from the
main city. To get out of Los Robles on your own, you would generally
have to call a cab or walk to the cab station near the entrance to Los
Robles. They have buses too but i recommend you use cabs, properly
identifed with a number on the door. I'm sure you will rarely need
that since your fiance will probably drive you around everywhere. Good
thing is that nowdays there are at least 2 cab companies that I know
of that you can call to get a cab. They are more expensive that
getting a cab off the street but it's peace of mind vrs saving a few
dollars.

> El Prado is another residential area but it's pretty much within
Comayaguela (the nice part of it). Getting out of El Prado will be
easier since you can get a cab off the street or call one. The
downside is that while Los Robles is about a half a mile away from the
city and thus it is quiet, El Prado is right in the city and traffic
can be chaotic during peak hours. I drive thru the main street of El
Prado every day on my way to work, and some times if it's late enough
that traffic is low I drive thru it on my way back home.
