Getting sorted

San Pedro Belize beach pictures

Life is starting to return back to normal – what ever normal is. John Henry is upstairs unpacking house and I am doing same here and making decent progress.

I called the gas company this morning and they said they were in the area and would come fill a tank for us in about 20 minutes – been an hour so far looks like they are on Belize time.

Teacher Lisa just popped her head in to get some boxes to pack up her classroom re-use recycle.

I think I just figured out we are on Brain coral street – will have to ask the person who gave me their address if they have moved since then to make sure.

Gas done – JH and Cindy have gas now too. Water supposedly on the way – we got sorted at the office and they said they would come by and turn it on today.

Basil Cindy’s cat just came tearing through our apartment and ran out the back door. Molly was by for a visit first thing this morning – it is nice our timeshare pets are much closer now.

Water company really on Belize time – we still have none. On the plus side we now have a big shiny white fridge.

Pedro’s Hotel is having a huge lobsterfest special From June 14-22
3 nights 150 USD – 5 nights 200 USD – 7 nights 230 USD

Will leave you with a few pics of our new backyard.

Thanks Beth – adventure is right lol. I hope we do not end moving for a while now.

Your new location DOES look awesome! I wonder if ocean surge during hurricanes is going to travel right up that canal though. It sure seems to me that Belize time and Mexico time may be the same! They are in their own timezone! Can’t wait to get there for the blog fest!

Thanks islagringo

That is a possibility really depends on the storm and what direction it is coming from. For Dean we stayed one street over and our main water issue was rain getting in the cracks of the wood door. See you soon.

Little do you know you are our my daily spiritual reminder that moving to San Pedro will be a great adventure. I live in Carolina Beach NC and will be coming to San Pedro in August. I know you are overwhelmed with moving and such at the moment; however, when you get a chance I would love for you to email me because I would love to have advice from someone with your experience of the local life. I’m coming with my husband and my 4 year old daughter….I could use all the help I can get 🙂 We are naturally apprehensive and excited at the same time but would be relieved to be in contact with someone who has been through the experience we are about to undertake.

Sincerely, 56 days and counting, Carolina Beach, NC

In 16 days I will be lounging at the new Muppet/Taco pool with a cold beverage in my hand! Oh and I will also have my dollar from TQ because we know she will miss the AM flight too!

Carbunkle I will be laying on a floaty mat watching you fly overhead as you come in for a landing.

tacogirl 03/06/2009 - 8:22 pm

Thanks Michele we like it a lot – can’t wait to see you all.

Too funny KC – we got the floaty mats all ready and broken in.

Tara will drop you a line soon. Congrats for having the moxy to go for it. I have always thought this quote made a lot of sense regarding making big leaps in life… And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

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

ABOUT ME

I took the plunge and moved to San Pedro Town on the Island of Ambergris Caye, off the coast of Belize, Central America. Originally from Canada, I made the life-changing move to escape winter for good (in 2006) after one three week vacation.
