in May, I'll be overnighting at El Salvador International Airport (a.k.a. Comalapa International Airport or SAL). Unfortunately, I land around 10pm and depart the next morning around 7:15am. I'm hoping to find something more interesting (but safe too) than just a van/shuttle to the airport hotel and an early wake-up call. Any ideas?? Thanks!!

We already booked 3 nights in a hotel in San Salvador but now I realize that in the whole net I can't find nearly any comment to the hotel. The name is Árbol de Sueños and it should be at La Escalon in front of the Hotel Radisson. Somebody knows it or had been there? Thank you very much!

I am a U.S. citizen wanting to travel with my fiance who is from El Salvador, next year. As El Salvadorean citizens need to show financial status to apply for visa's, do U.S. citizens need too, also?

I want to marry outside, maybe on a mountain or hillside over looking the city of San Salvador during a sunset or during sunset on a beach there? Anyone know of such a place?

I'm having a lot of trouble finding any definitive bus schedules out of San Salvador anywhere on the web. I'm going to be in San Salvador on the afternoon of Jan 15, and want to be in Copan Ruinas, Honduras, by not later than noon on the 16th. the next day. The way I see it, there are three ways to go: 1. bus San Salvador-San Pedro Sula, then to Copan Ruinas 2. bus San Salvador-El Poy-Santa Rosa de Copan-La Entrada-Copan Ruinas 3. bus San Salvador-Guatemala City, then to Copan Ruinas I just want to be sure I have enough time in Copan Ruinas, because I will be heading for Antigua on the 17th. Who knows which would be the best way to go? Any specific bus information would be appreciated. Apparently Hedman-Alas is no longer running direct service between San Salvador and Copan.
