I spent my day walking around the island. Started at Tropic Air after seeing Dick off for his 31h journey back to Turkey, went south as far as Banana Beach Resort where I stalled on the beach for a bit then made my way home along one of my favorite back roads. I tried to focus on work but was not feeling sitting at mt desk and decided more walking therapy was in order so I went all the way to the bridge and ...

Some pf the San Pedro Poker players have already left for Vegas. tacoboy took the 9:00am Tropic air flight to Belize City international airport. Not long after I got a text saying that his flight from Belize to Miami was delayed till 1pm and he was headed to the airport restaurant for a bite to eat while he waited. Some of you may have caught on that there will soon be a permanent taco cam up and running. I ...

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 ...

Woke up way to early this am 20 min before my alarm was supposed to go off. I am getting ready to take the 7:00 am Tropic Air flight to Municipal and heading to see Dr. Marcelo Coyi at Belize Medical Associates for a check up and some tests. My appointment was for 9:00am but the Dr called me yesterday and said he was not going to be there then and he could see me at 2:00pm same day. When he found out why I ...

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 ...

9:00am What a morning I just spent the last 3 h editing pictures and I am not even close to done. I still have finish sorting my Sony Cybershot pics for today's post, unload my Olympus stylus and get Saturdays pool pics and yesterdays bikini shots sorted and edited. Back to sorting pics so I can get them posted and move onto the next thing. 11:00am Half way there on getting pictures up. As you can see we ha ...

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 ...

What a day it feels like we have been there and back again several times over. Answering emails - trying to get this post done -and  sort today's pictures before trivia at Pedro's tonight. Good news Paul - Rebecca - RLD and I met yesterday about San Pedro Lobsterfest 2011. It was good to talk and find out what the schedule is so far so Paul could get it up on the website and start filling in the blanks. Thi ...

There is always lots to do before company comes. Cleaning - laundry - groceries blowing up the new toys for the pool. Heather arrives today on the 12:40 Tropic Air and hurricane Jo gets in tomorrow same time. They have both been so excited all week - lots of chatting on the coconut phone. Heavy rain woke me up this morning at 5:40 am. It was much shorter than yesterdays showers at the pool but long enough t ...

I think David Ogilvy was  bang on with this thought - Develop your eccentricities while you are young. That way, when you get old, people won't think you're going gaga. I am feeling very TGIF today - decided that my best course of action was to get up early - get as much as I could done then take off for a short adventure trip to the mainland. Flight to Municipal / Belize city was just what I needed - a nic ...

Yesterday we were reminded how important it is to use surge protectors here on Ambergris Caye. We returned home from our Florida Vacation to find out our router was not working.  The other freaky power related thing that happened - we had our bedroom tv unplugged while away and when we plugged it back in it and went to turn it on it blacked out fast and then would do nothing. Thankfully after letting it sit ...
