Hi Megan,
I'm glad your are turning those nerves into excitement and still doing research, not only to be safe but to know what to expect or what you would like to see once you are here. Sometimes locals are so used to things around us that we don't even notice them anymore.
As for your mom worrying, 4 days is about the same as 2 weeks, you should call her once you get here and probably every day just to let her know you are ok. Phone calls to the US are cheap from cybercafe's , about $0.10 to $0.15 a minute) and they are $0.28 a minute from cellphones. That should keep her calmed down.
If you have any more questions keep them comming.
Hey, also if you need there's David that has a nice B&B Hotel near the airport, he's on this forum. Just in case you had to stay somewhere else.

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.

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.
