Me Myself and I on Vacation

San Pedro Belize beach pictures

Surprise I am on Caye Caulker. Jo was supposed to meet me here but she had to cancel Belize trip – I decided to come anyways and take a 2 day vacation myself. Really glad I came – she picked out a nice place Sailwinds beach suites. I am in  a beach front room with a great view  –  luckily I have internet and can blog so she will get her vacation from afar. I already did web cam to show her the view and she was enjoying the blue sky and white fluffy clouds.

Time to get out for a walk and enjoy the island for a bit – going to take my self to the Lazy Lizard for a rum punch – then I will hit a few grocery shops. I like poking around in stores here as there is much more Asian flavor to the things you can find. Lots of interesting things we go not get on San Pedro. Funniest was Chio bacon potato chips and roasted chicken flavor of course I had to buy both – for some reason reminded me of you CT – bacon won the taste test of course.

Tail was big and yummy as was everything else on my plate – Jo I know you would have totally enjoyed the lobster.

Crap I spent all night uploading photo gallery and then it disappeared leaving me to redo it all from scratch – I see a late night ahead of me. This leaves me wondering if there is a way to safe guard wordpress plug in galleries anyone have an answer to that?

I use to love eating ketchup and pickled flavored chips in Canada:) Have yet to see come across those in the USA on my past trips.

You ever tried those flavors in Canada?

By the way, you live on an Island paradise (la isla bonita) and you still need a vacation from the vacation? funny:)

Try living in the City for any length of time and you can imagine the welcome sight of the islands.

Oh and I am glad you are feeling better by the way.

cheers…..

Thanks Tina it was such a nice getaway – will definitely have to overnight more on CC.

Had Ketchup ones before Remo. I will never say no to a vacation ha ha and getting away even for such a short time clears my head and relaxes my brain. I have to say living here has spoiled me and definitely made an impact on where I could and could not live. Thanks for well wishes – hope you had a good weekend.

Enjoying reading about your vacation in Belize and seeing the photos. Some of the best snorkeling we’ve ever done was in Belize, so we just got scuba certified planning to return in 2010. Lazy Lizard is on my list … where’d you have the lobster?

tacogirl 23/10/2009 - 12:09 pm

Lobster was at Barrier Reef Sports Bar Judy – saw the menu sign when I was walking the beach and knew I had to go back and give it a try. Snorkeling is great here – cool you got scuba you will have a great time diving.

Love Taco Girl Blog @LaurieNorton! I've been reading this blog since I started visiting Ambergris Caye in Belize almost... 10 years ago. It is filled with helpful up-to-date information and recommendations that I wouldn't necessarily find on my own. Laurie Norton's knowledge and extensive network on the island provides her with the ability to share perks/discounts/coupons with her readers, which come in handy year after year. Things on the island change daily - new businesses pop up constantly and LaurieNortonstays on top of these developments. Whenever I plan my return trip to the island, I always check her blog first - and I recommend you do the same. Trip Advisor ain't got nuttin' on Taco Girl!read more

Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s... always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. There is so much information it's amazing! Thank you Laurie!!!read more

I’m so pleased to see tacogirl's blog on Google. Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and... local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. I especially enjoy her guest articles, providing a different perspective of all things San Pedro. Her tipping quide is a classic, and don’t forget her Tropic Air flight code and on-island discounts. You’re not up-to-date with what’s going on in San Pedro if you’re not regularly reading tacogirl's blog.read more

Do yourself a favor. Read this BEFORE any trip to San Pedro - Ambergris Caye or Belize in general. Not saying “do... what everyone else says”, but Laurie has frank and honest info which will make your stay in country a little more fun, a little more informative, and often at a great cost savings. Best thing: it’s unbiased, honest, and factual. Personal note: thank you for your personal tailored help in answering mine (and my wife’s) questions.read more

Taco Girl (Laurie) is amazing. She has so much knowledge about Belize and has great connections with many of the... businesses in Belize. Because of her connections she is able to offer many perks and discounts that you wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. She is super responsive and I always go to her for all my travel needs. From golf cart rentals, to spas, to places to eat. She's got the inside scoop on all!read more
