Handy lap top cleaning tip

San Pedro Belize beach pictures

Been a cleaning day at the taco shack – scrubbed the dish strainer – cleaned sliding glass doors so our lagoon view is crystal clear and coconut oiled the screen door to keep it moving smoothly. I also came up with a handy lap top cleaning tip – tilt laptop carefully so keyboard is facing down then use a soft paintbrush to sweep along keyboard lines dislodging any particles that managed to find their way in.

Been emailing back and forth with Rebecca from Seaduced to arrange a sunset cruise and organize Paul & Jeff’s birthday this year. Working to figure out something as good as the sunrise cruise if not better – time is passing so fast.

I find it easier to just use the garden hose to clean my laptop! But that is just me.

lol Jeff. You should have seen the sorry state of Paul’s old laptop after he spilled coffee on it back in Canada. He turned it back on before allowing it to dry and be cleaned properly and as a result had this sad beeping noise and the keyboard no longer worked. If anyone ever spills in lap top make sure it is 110% dry and cleaned before trying to turn it back on again and you might be lucky.

I love the little bite of your blog that I have read so far and am quite excited to get to the island hopefully by the end of next week Apr. 16 to 20 or so. We have only 4 weeks and plan to see quite a lot. Would certainly enjoy getting a chance to meet you and possibly “pick your brain” a little, we are interested in Belize as a possible home base for a while and it sounds like you have really gotten to know a lot in your time there.
Being long winded here, will try and do my best to “bump into you” Best regards, Jen

Thanks for the compliment Jen. If you want to meet up while you are here it is better to arrange that ahead of time.

We came to San Pedro for a week in November of 2005. We have been back four times since (never less than ten days) and will be down in three weeks for trip #6. You could say we have been bit bad!! And that’s good!!

All it took for us was one three week trip 6 years ago and here we are at the 4 year mark for living in San Pedro.

Thanks Tacogirl for keeping us going. We will be heading for the land of ice and snow soon and will miss you and the beautiful island you live on. We will be back…soon we know!

She knows the island of San Pedro better than anyone else out there. Trust me, I have looked.

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
