What is your question?
After I do about 50 miles and turn off the engine, I hear the water boiling and I see the overflow going into the overflow resevoir. After the engine cools off, the water apparently is sucked back into the radiator. Sometimes the water is low in the radiator. If I add water to the resevoir and radiator, if neccessary, the same thing happens over again. The temp guage is normal and I recently changed the thermostat but there is no improvement. Most of my driving is local street trips and now I am affraid to take it on the freeway. The problem is about 3 -6 months. No other problems.

First thing to check is to make sure that your cooling fans work. Let your Honda idle for 20-min or more. The cooling fans should come on and cool down the car. It also sounds like possibly your radiator cap is not holding pressure, so I would replace that as well. When you turn on your A/C, do the cooling fans come right on ASAP? Because they should, however this is only a partial test. Do the idle test, with the A/C off, this will test the other prats of the cooling fan system, such as the Coolant Temperature Sensor etc.
It was the radiator cap. It was that simple.The cap looked OK but I replaced it on general principles. That solved the problem. Can't believe it.
