It is time to let the cat out of the bag....  I really wasn't  editing pictures for the last 2 days as I said in Mondays Gas prices in Belize post. Instead I kidnapped tacoboy Sunday afternoon and went AWOL 2.5 miles north to Cocotal Inn and Cabanas. After all the recent Belize Red Cross excitement, I figured we hard earned a break away in a Garden Cabana on the beach. I was all set to be a bikini girl for ...

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 ...

I just saw a 19 year old win a million dollars on a game show. Imagine how different any of our lives would be if that had happened to us? I wonder if I would have moved to Belize or would I have landed in a different Tropical location instead. I can say for sure it likely would not have taken me so long to get there. I finished up my work early today so I could do out with Dick and Paula to celebrate his b ...

As promised here is third  batch of pictures from our Belize City vacation - Belize City shopping still come. These ones cover the Princess Hotel and Casino as well as some things I saw while walking around town when I took break from blogging the freeroll poker tournament. I wanted to find a shop so I could get some water and a snack for later. The woman at the desk said that there were no stores open as i ...

I am finally making it back to the blog, warning you now this is not going to be a fast process. I keep getting sucked back to emails - over 200 car pile up there. So glad I did not bring my laptop with me to the party. Here are a few pics to tide you over - loads more to come. [nggallery id=173] Before the cheap seats start making comments I realize that I have way to many hula hoop pictures. Reason being ...

It has been smokin hot on the island today. tacoboy and I are going to go for a walk and hopefully find clothes line at Marina's or Super by South so we can string a 10 x 12 green tarp and have some shade for the pool. I have a few things to report for North Ambergris Caye area today. First off Grand Caribe Resort and Condominiums is offering a great 14 Night Special; pay 7 nights and stay 14 nights.  Speci ...

Don't forget Friday night you are all invited to enjoy Charlies Birthday Party - Walter's famous BBQ and Beans -  tons of bell ringing and there is a good chance of there will be cake. Definitely a party worth attending. Today's Sailing News is brought to you by Forrest Jones, Press Officer, San Pedro Sailing Club. He has been doing a fantastic job with documenting all the action as the kids learn to sail. ...

I had the best intentions of getting to the big pool for aquafit this morning and got a bit derailed by work and chores. Since the next few days are super busy between Pedro's all you can eat Lobsterfest event tonight,  One Love - 1 Barrel - Love Belize Grand opening Saturday and Lobsterfest 2011 block party I decided it makes more sense to do my pool therapy from home today. Soon as the dryer buzzer goes o ...

I feel like a hamster on a wheel the past couple of days - so much going on.  Yesterday morning I was lucky and caught a ride to do some errands with Dick. He had to go to Osmins shop for a boat tool and  I was able to cross a few things off list that I needed to do before we leave for Florida including taking some jeans in to be hemmed at Elsa's shop across from Tropic Air and snapping a few pics of Carole ...

It all started at our nuevo team meeting yesterday afternoon. Paul suggested we have it in the garden because it was one of those perfect hot sunny San Pedro days.  We were 3/4 when  when Cindy came home for lunch - not long after she came out and handed Paul a note. We all laughed when he passed it around for us to read - ' I know you are in a meeting but it's the most perfect day to  skydive' [smiley face ...
