We were all set to do the last poker run of the season and hanging out with the other 'poker players' at Roadkill Bar waiting to be signed in when Leisa realized just how late the poker run was going to last and decided to take a pass. Since I am also an early riser and was feeling in pumpkin mode, I thought it was not a bad idea. As we were driving back up north we caught sight of the blue moon, it was eve ...

Our alarm was set for 6:30 am to be up early for the big day. Upon waking up we knew there was a good chance the fundraiser was not going to happen due to pouring rain, so we both went back to sleep. After waking up and checking my email, I got the following message from Diane Campbell with a request to spread the word - Liberty Event Rain Check - The Liberty Children's Home Bar-B-Q planned for today, 27 Ma ...

Easter  is always the busiest weekend of the year in San Pedro. Many families come from mainland Belize to enjoy our beautiful island and if you have not made a reservation yet good luck as places are usually booked up by now. Below are just a few of the many Easter weekend events happening on Ambergris Caye. Walking the beach on Easter Sunday and seeing everyone out having fun is always one of my favorite ...

I told someone not to long ago that I could blog for a month straight just from drafts and my ideas file, that does not include doing anything for anyone else or my to blog email folder. As I write today's post, I am starting to think I could make it 2 months. Today's info has been coming for a while and made top of the to do list, I needed to get it out before month end which is coming all too fast. We hav ...

I swear Helda and Robbie's was the most photographed wedding ever. The venue they chose, Coral Bay Villas was the perfect place to have a beach wedding and more than a few of us ended up barefoot.  As I was sifting through the pictures I had taken, it was nice to revisit the day and see everyone that came out to celebrate. We did go to the after party at Roadkill unfortunately  neither of us made it very lo ...

Everyone  likes to know the price of things, in fact that is one of my pet peeves shopping here when stores do not have their stock priced. Since I often get reader emails asking about the cost of living in Belize and have been blogging that topic for a few years now,  I decided to do car gas price comparison. The idea came when I was out for a joyride with Dick and Zac  as we stopped to gas up the golf car ...

Dear Dr Al, you will be pleased to know I took the day off blogging yesterday, unfortunately I still had to work all morning. Dean and Gigi asked Paul, Dennis and I to join them for lunch down south at Lone Star Grill and Cantina, formerly known as Mr. Joe's Grocery. My appetite is still not back to normal but in the interest of gaining 10lbs I managed a chicken fried steak  covered in cream gravy. It came ...

Come on double sixes! and Robyn commented on tacogirl facebook page and mentioned she will  be tuning in on taco cam from Missouri and eating a piece of Rainforest Rum cake :) - how cool is that. I can't wait for my usual Estel's breakfast - eggs, bacon, ...

[Tonight's stream has funny audio, video froze off and on due to connection - life in Belize.] I knew it would be a busy day so I decided to prepare with a Belize breakfast of champions - 2 iced coffees, leftover Pedro's pizza that Paul brought home last night and some ruffles potato chips is a clear sign I have fallen off the wagon food wise. As I was reheating pizza, 3 thoughts came to mind. 1. I have not ...

Flash back to yesterday 1:00am - Unfortunately tech troubles  sending out Sunday Brunch facebook invite for Estel's is causing a major slowdown and thoughts of being horizontal are slowly winning. I had to do a date change on Wish you were here - breakfast and backgammon facebook invite for Estel's and our internet went down before I could make the necessary fix. Not wanting to let that sit till morning, I ...
