It sure is, I did the exact same itinerary about 7 years ago and it took about three weeks and it felt rushed. My info is awfully dated so I am apprehensive in dropping some science. However, travel distances stay the same. Although, Tikal is the shit it is just too out of your way and time consuming to get there in that short amount of time. Back then there was only one nightly bus that leaves from Guatemala City to Flores and it took about 10 hours. Therefore, There's no way in hell unless you have a gulf stream jet waiting for you that you going to make it from Flores to Copan in less than 2 days(Flores to Guatemala 10 hours, Guatemala to Copan 6 hours). Pick one Honduras or Guatemala.
I don't remember Tegucigalpa being that great, it was cold, dirty and felt unsafe. With regards to San Salvador, I also heard about the chicas being the shit and planned to stay there for a week but left after only 2 days. Not so much over racial shit(I don't remember any drama actually) but all the armed guards and electric fences everywhere made me very nervous. Also, No one was walking around the streets, I mean NO ONE. This couple with the fact that MS-13 was flexing their muscles big time in the region (Salavador and Honduras) at that time I decided to charge Salvador to the Game and go on to Guatemala.
With regards to the girls, imo although Central America region has cute girls you need to recalibrate your expectations because at least to me they aren't no where near as cute in both the body and face department as Colombians, Brazilians, Argentinians and even Dominicans.
