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 ...

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 ...

Why Belize isn't a third world country by Sharon Hiebing Ever since contemplating moving to Belize, and then once doing so in 2010, I have often heard it referred to as a Third World country. Just to clarify, I’m not one of those history buffs, or excessively political types, so I only had a notion of what Third World meant. But it just seemed to me after living here for almost a year that the term is a mis ...

When you see lots of dragonflies it is a warning sign to get ready for an onslaught of nasty bloodsucking mosquitoes. As I was watching the dragonflies while floating in the pool this aft I was wondering why the came a day late, the skeeters were unbearable last night. They are just as bad this evening, nothing worse than hot and buggy inside your house. Check How to Kill Mosquitoes to learn about vape mats ...

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 ...

I made up my mind yesterday that I was going to get Dicks beach cruiser tire repaired, so I could ride it again. I texted Josiemar to see if he was able to fit me in. He replied quickly - anytime was good and to bring the bike over. So I wrapped up work and headed out the door on foot with my bike and music player. As I was walking the back road through San Pablo, Glenn called out to me from his backyard wo ...

I am very happy on 2 counts right now. First off it looks like it is about to pour down rain and I would love nothing more right now. Secondly I got some great pool pictures today, I had Eileen meet me early to get some shots of the two of us doing different aquafit moves. I am feeling in really good shape in regards to getting all the pictures I need to go with my magazine article, as long as I get sunny s ...
