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".

Hope the New Year is going well for all of you in spite of any bad weather you might be experiencing - for us it is cold and wind today but at least it is not raining. I picked the title for this post to wish everyone a great year and good health. Bonne année et bonne santé is a well known french expression - my mothers side of the family is French.  It also ties on with my 2012 resolution of health and hap ...

Sorry no strip club pics or San Pedro crew behaving badly at WSOP 2011.  tacoboy did get some nice shots of everyone enjoying the exclusive Bob Bounahra party at the Bellagio Hotel where the appetizers were tasty, champagne was flowing freely causing a few people to wake up in slow mo the next morning'. He also got some nice shots at the main event - WSOP 2011 and was pleased to report that the San Pedro Be ...

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 ...

Paul decided we should go for a long walk yesterday since the sun came out and Hurricane Rina was not making us housebound. Paula, Jessie faye and Dick were heading to town so we decided to join them. I have a ton of pics to sort through so I will be adding more throughout the day. Hoping to go to class today but I have a feeling the pool will be closed. Quite a few businesses around town were closed yester ...

I never did make it to the beach yesterday, soon as I got to Dick's place to pick him up for a walk it started to rain so we hung out there instead. It is very chilly this morning, enough to be wearing a jacket in the house, I can see how a fireplace could be very handy here at this time of year. I opted for stretching at home and extra hot shower over the pool this morning. I am still working on the piece ...

San Pedro is wet, we  had 4 inches of rain yesterday and getting more right now. The roads are totally waterlogged and many people have small lakes in their yards. Cindy, Paul and I decided to enjoy the wet weather and take the dogs to the beach. While walking we noticed how much old garbage had washed up due to the stormy weather.  A lot of it was old, small bits and pieces. We also did some label reading ...

This past Wednesday September 21st marked a very important day in the history of Belize - it's 30th Birthday. If you have not yet celebrated Independence day in San Pedro I would put that on your top ten Belize to do list - best parade ever. Here are a few pictures from the annual San Pedro parade, we only caught the very beginning as tacoboy and I were among the 818 Passengers enjoying the Belize flight di ...

How to travel with a dog to Belize A lot of preparation is necessary to fly with our animals Always check the website of the airline on pet policies rather than accept what is told on the phone by an agent - which honesty holds true for any important matter. Make sure to print the online regulations from the site and take it with you for backup. When you purchase your ticket and make sure the airlines know ...

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 ...
