We won again last night at Roadkill Bar Trivia - $160 bzd split 4 ways. Lots of people came out to play and we all had a great time. This week our team was was Paul Cindy Matt and I - we called ourselves the sneaky ninjas [also what Cindy nicknamed her cat]. I am definitely not team ringer but I come in handy for  the obscure questions like what was the bankers name in Beverly Hillbillies? Answer - Mr. Drys ...

Roadkill is now doing a $12 breakfast so Paul and I decided to go give it a try - yum.  Randy and Amy came down to meet us  - they are staying at Costa Maya Resort. We were supposed to meet up at Crazy Canucks Sunday Jam but Hurricane Richard put an end to that plan. It was nice meeting up we got to hear about their adventures to Placencia - Caye Caulker - Ambergris Caye and plans for going to Corozal. They ...

It's Sunday and I really would love a day off but I am busy with last nights poker run pics the last of the Sanbore Caye pics and 32 emails to sift through this morning. Hoping it will move fast so I can get to couch surfing and hopefully a good movie ha ha. This was my 4th poker run so I can honestly say - If you want a fun poker game in  San Pedro Belize – San Pedro Poker run tops the chart. Not only do y ...

There are a couple things I have been  meaning to post about and just not found the time - so today is the day. First off - Lady Dixie gave me permission to post about some medical fundraising she had been working on. As I read through the emails I got to thinking instead of editing them [as I told her I would probably do] I will just copy and paste for all of you to read as the story is interesting. If any ...

I have been so busy and all over the map this morning it is making my head spin. Can't wait to take a break and go to a lunch meeting with the guys at Lime Bar - nothing like a classic philly steak sandwich and some brainstorming to set things right. Meeting was productive - we are on target and getting stuff done. Belize Lifestyles Facebook page is up and ready to join - you can also find Belize Lifestyle ...

I wrote it all out in my notebook and was going to blog how we spent the looooong scheduled San Pedro power outage but after an hour and 2 emails written later - I decided to check one from Dianne and I am glad I did. A few days back she asked me about having a stuff swap because Cherie and Vince could use some help getting some decent things due to loosing everything in the fire at ACES crocodile sanctuary ...

Yesterday at the pool Gwen mentioned how living here is a lot like camping - how you have to be prepared for anything and can often end up roughing it to some degree. As I was couch surfing last night and watching one of the geckos lives with us crawling across the wall it made me think about what she said and how it does take a certain kind of person to be able to thrive here. Resilience - patience - commo ...

Decided to do something different today - I booked myself for 7am Tropic Air tacogirl special to the mainland. I am going to the  to meet up with Dick and Carole for a Belize City Adventure. I opted to catch an earlier flight so I could do a bit of a walking tour and snap some pictures before they arrived. I don't get over to the mainland enough to know my way around well [going to change that] so I have 2 ...

Paul had me set up a haircut for him with Carole this morning and Molly and I decided to tag a long and enjoy visit. They have all gone off to Cindy's for a swim. I opted to stay here as the sun is pretty bright and hot right now - 30c today according to my weather icon. I am enjoying having the apartment to myself - air con - doing some cleaning and listening to talk Open Lines & Scotland's Paranormal ...

Happy St Georges Caye Day everyone. It is a hot sunny one and the puddles are bigger than I expected from last nights rain. Went to Aquafit class this morning - I was not overly motivated to go but glad I did. There was lots of carrying on and general mischief in the pool today making it extra fun. A few things that are coming up... The next Poker Run on Saturday the 11th September. The last one was a ball. ...

Hard to believe I will be 43 in Wednesday morning. As a special birthday treat we checked into Xanadu Island Resort this afternoon and I can't wait - have been daydreaming about it all morning. Yesterday was one of those days where the wind was blowing all kinds of unpleasant stuff from all directions - now that the dust is settling a bit it is time to enjoy some much needed R&R. We ended up in number O ...

If you somehow have not seen my facebook invitation I am putting it here too. FB was acting up when I was making it and I am pretty sure people either did not get it or got it more than once. The first donation from items off Eric's list has come in. I got a pm this morning saying two shovels are waiting at SP Hardware with a note on them 'San Mateo project'.  How exciting - many thanks to the people who do ...
