Since this was Dicks last weekend before heading back to Turkey for another month I decided to take some time off and just enjoy hanging out. This means I did not snap a single picture of our time spent together [Sorry Janet]. We did have loads of fun though starting with Bingo and barbecue on Friday night at the Lion's den. Dick and Erika came to pick me up then we went and got Elena and Glenn jr and heade ...

It was a fairly lazy day at the taco shack, after cleaning up after dinner party, I ended up having a nap then watching National Treasure in bed with tacoboy. Sometimes a movie in bed is a perfect Sunday thing to d, quiet time it was much needed by both of us as life never seems to slow down. I got a good reminder of why I do not drink last night, all it took was two of of my favorite coconut rum drinks, I ...

Tacoboy was checking NOOA this morning and said it looks like tropical depression 5 is heading our way. Currently it is still moving towards towards Puerto Rico, passing Jamaica Monday and Cuba on Tuesday. That is a long way off and anything is subject to change, but due to the path shown it is worth keeping an eye on. Not long after I started writing this post, I got an email Lily Bowman Director General f ...

Belize Fun Facts - You know you have been living in Belize a while when you catch your self using the word like pirate as a search term while trying to find something in a gmail search. Today I wanted to post just one picture so I set off in search of an image that visually represents why I love living on Ambergris Caye. I went to my stock folder and found the pics from when Dick and I went driving down sou ...

I finally finished editing all my Banana Beach  pics and along with that comes the write up on our second 24 hours there. You can see pics and write up of our first 24 h on my 2 day getaway at Banana Beach post. The second day of our stay-cation brought us another great sunrise, more fantastic food, different boat action, pool time,  a much needed massage by Ange and 2 bubble baths. - Meals were fantastic  ...

Judging from the size and color of the storm clouds yesterday as Dick and I left the taco shack, we were expecting to get soaked at the beach. Both of us were waterproofed and  excited at the thought of getting soaked in a good downpour, as it turns out we barely got wet. After I got home I checked my San Pedro Weather and it showed  we were supposed to get .4 mm of rain total for, but it seems like we fell ...

You know it's a tough day when your biggest decisions are scrambled or over easy and what time to get a massage - not :) Our 2 day getaway at Banana Beach Resort was perfect. - Everything we ordered from El Divino Restaurant was delicious and getting it delivered right to our door  was  heaven. - As always the staff at Banana Beach and El Divino were fantastic. They are all very personable and made us feel ...

I told someone not to long ago that I could blog for a month straight just from drafts and my ideas file, that does not include doing anything for anyone else or my to blog email folder. As I write today's post, I am starting to think I could make it 2 months. Today's info has been coming for a while and made top of the to do list, I needed to get it out before month end which is coming all too fast. We hav ...

I am playing my own version of beat the clock this morning I had to go back and finish tagging pictures from our recent vacation, trying to make it in under the 2 h mark with 33 min left to go.  I was trying to be good and drink water this morning while I waited patiently for my coffee maker to wake up. Thankfully I have my first iced coffee in front of me now and I can really bust a move, to get the job do ...

To be honest if I was not looking up the date for something, I would not have remembered it was Valentines day this morning. On my way to the pool,  everywhere I looked people were wearing red, from the cab mechanic on our street,  the guy standing on top of the garbage truck and even a bunch of the bikini beauties turned up in red suits for class. We decided to have a nice quiet dinner at home, I was think ...

Today is turning into a piranha tech day - piranha is my new term for grouchy thanks to Dr Al. Trying to take a document picture on my Olympus Stylus Tough camera, it keeps coming out fuzzy, I have absolutely no idea why and the manual is no help. I also noticed my delete button is not working as well as it should be for a water proof camera. Best solution right now is for me to step away from the camera an ...

The rain was coming down hard around 7:00am and stopped pretty much as soon as tacoboy got up to close the windows it was hitting.  Cowboy Doug of Cowboy's Pool Bar & Grill  at Grand Caribe Resort sent me his North Ambergris Caye range gauge report. Between 4:00 and 7:00am Sunday Morning rainfall was1 inch and 7/10ths,  and it rained and blew enough to sink a small boat up north. Yesterday mornings spla ...
