29 July 2009, ”Due to the current unstable political and security situation, the US Embassy in Tegucigalpa recommends American citizens defer all non-essential travel to Honduras until further notice.” - U.S. Embassy Tegucigalpa, Honduras
“The Embassy advises American citizens residing in and visiting Honduras to restrict travel to within city limits when possible and to be aware of possible road blocks that might affect mobility around the country. The government of Honduras has announced curfews with varying hours almost daily. Several areas near the border with Nicaragua have implemented daytime curfews in anticipation of large demonstrations. The Embassy continues to monitor this situation closely and strongly recommends American citizens monitor local TV and radio each evening for current curfew times and abide by these restrictions.”
“The U.S. Embassy has advised its staff to restrict travel to within city limits.”
“Demonstrations both against and in favor of the new regime are expected to continue in the coming days throughout the country. Demonstrations to date have been generally non-violent and there have been few reports of injuries.”
“Tegucigalpa’s Toncontin Airport will be open for normal business until further notice. We advise travelers to contact their airlines directly to confirm.”
“Those with flights scheduled with American Airlines may wish to call (504) 216-4800 (Honduras) or 1-800-433-7300 (United States). Those traveling with Delta Airlines may wish to call 1-800-241-4141 (United States and Central America) or (504) 550-1616 (San Pedro Sula). Those with flights scheduled with Continental Airlines may wish to call (504) 220-0999 (Tegucigalpa), (504) 557-4141 (San Pedro Sula), or 1-800-231-0856 (United States). Taca Airlines and its affiliates have cancelled domestic flights for the past week for reasons unrelated to the political unrest.”
“Most of Honduras’ land borders with Guatemala and El Salvador are currently open to commercial and private vehicles. The borders between Honduras and Nicaragua have been closed intermittently since Friday, July 24.”
“The Embassy again strongly recommends that American citizens avoid large gatherings and do not try to pass roadblocks if they encounter them. U.S. citizens should monitor the situation via media sources, including tv and radio when possible, and via the internet.”
“Barring changes in the security situation, the Consular Section will be open for normal business. This includes the immigrant, non-immigrant and American Citizens Services units at the Consular Section at the US Embassy in Tegucigalpa and the American Citizen Services unit at the Consular Agency in San Pedro Sula.”

There are a few variables that even the most organized leaders cannot plan for.
