The Convoy Pulls Out

The group pulled out of the hotel a few minutes before 6 am. I had a chance to speak with Diego, the main contact, before they left. He is from Argentina and is a security specialist. He has been doing security work for the past 10 years and covers the Americas, including the Caribbean. I was glad to hear that he does a couple of these types of jobs every month, so this is quite routine for him. He also does protection work and works on kidnapping cases, mostly in Venezuela and Mexico. The rest of the drivers are from a sub-contracted security firm in San Pedro Sula. All of these men are former military and of course know the country quite well.

The original plan was for the group to go to San Pedro, but now they are being redirected. I'm not sure of the specific flight arrangements, but Jared and I will be in contact. I will let you know more as I get updates, so stay tuned...
