Yesterday was Cowboy's surprise party and we had to try and keep him out of the way so we could decorate, get the band and the bar set up. It was not long before he started getting suspicious and asking questions, the other day he heard Corry ask Ricardo about the party Tim was throwing for one of his partners and that started the whole thing off. Only Cowboy thought it was for Will who was also having a bi ...

Taking good pictures at night is something I know many of us find difficult. I decided that last nights Blue Moon was a good chance to go do some practice, so I headed out to the resort dock to see what I could come up with. I noticed that things looked a bit grainy through the viewing screen and am not sure if something was off setting wise on my Cannon powershot S5 IS or what. I should have remembered to ...

I started this post about the same time last night [10:30pm] and other work has kept me so busy I am finally just getting back to it - blogging on Belize time. Never made it home from up north, and am totally enjoying being lost in North Ambergris Caye and working in a different office environment. I had every intention of going south today, had my bags packed and ready this morning but it just never happen ...

I was enjoying a couple of days up north at Grand Caribe this past weekend and got a pleasant surprise while walking the beach with Cowboy Doug on Friday afternoon - Coconut Leo. If you know me well you know my all time favorite drink besides iced coffee is fresh coconut water - if I could have it on tap I would. As soon as we spotted him in the tree I asked Cowboy if he had any spare gallon containers so w ...

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 ...

I thought we were done with the rain as the weather seemed to have shifted yesterday but we ended up with more this morning - ugh. Thankfully it did not last long as I was invited on a birthday party boat ride aboard the Lady Leslie. We will head out do a snorkel stop and then sail to Caye Caulker for lunch. I am so ready to relax and enjoy the ride, been a hectic morning as I was up at 5:00am working and t ...

Welcome to Rainy Season in Belize, we have been getting more than our fare share of rain the past few days. It is unfortunate for those on vacation and those who are scheduled on the 2012 lobsterfest crawl events schedule. I texted Cowboy for a rain report will add it later if I get one, after the two weddings at Grand Caribe yesterday I am sure it is a slow moving morning up there. Update on Maureen and Tr ...

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  ...

Joanne from Direct Abundance sent me the following email, with an update of Direct Abundance work in Jamaica and  she is looking for help to get some school supplies to mainland Belize. If anyone is coming here from Pennsylvania and has some spare room or if anyone has a good suggestion on hoe to help her get the school supplies here please make contact. Hi Laurie. Hope things are well down there in Belize. ...

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 ...

As I mentioned in my Gas Prices in Belize write up, everyone  likes to know the price of things. A recent email from Trey prompted me to blog follow up on increased price. Gas is now 12.17 bzd and Diesel 11.26 bzd.  Tim said "gas went up a whole bunch more. $80 to fill RZR now".
