If you remember Paul's birthday blog from last year Caye Chapel Golf taking a Mulligan, And we set off like a herd of turtles on our way for our  Caye Chapel golf day. We were doing ok then all of a sudden the waves got worse and the people at the back of the boat started getting a salt water bath, so we turned around and back to San Pedro. We all agreed to take a mulligan and that we would have an even bet ...

I didn’t expect to fall in love with Belize By Rhiannon Fionn-Bowman - The World Trade Before I scheduled a Western Caribbean cruise in 2003, I had never even heard of Belize. That’s a stunning admission today since I can’t get the country off my mind. I was only there for a day, but in the years since I’ve become a Belize-information junkie. I hope to return for a week this year and, maybe – if the puzzle ...

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 ...

I did not run off and join the circus or anything crazy. Our internet was down since early yesterday morning - which is how I ended up with the sunrise pictures below. We both woke up at 4:30 Sunday morning and found ourselves without internet so I suggested to tacoboy that we make an iced coffee to go and head to the beach at Banyan Bay Resort to watch the sunrise. I love that this is the view we  get with ...
