Mission Acomplished

This post dates back to a few different dates as I have been quietly blogging as everything was unfolding so you wouldn’t miss out on the fun – I used this style for Lobsterfest 2009 as well.

May 8th – Remember a short while back I told you I had a big surprise cooking? Mission accomplished and I can officially announce it [even though they have already gone public on facebook and their One Caribbean Weather wordpress site] – Joey Stevens and Bob the Parrot from are coming to San Pedro for Lobsterfest.

May 14th – Lots has happened yesterday Joey’s Manager said he has us penciled in but needs to know sooner than later as there is another country who has stepped up and is willing to take our time slot – hoping we can get enough people on board so we can give One Caribbean Weather an answer by asap. I am so on the edge of my seat but I know that we can make this happen.

May15 – I have quietly started the first stage of my social media blitz and now [May 18] I am officially Calling out for all San Pedro Belize lovers and One Caribbean Weather Fans who facebook and twitter to follow One Caribbean Weather’s Bob the Parrot on twitter and friend Bob facebook. Lets show Bob and One Caribbean Weather some social Media Love.

May 17th – I just checked Bob’s facebook page and 38 of us have joined so far – and 19 for twitter hooray. We are still working out final details but it is getting so close now to officially saying yes. Feeling like a college kid trying to stuff a Volkswagen and see how many people we can get inside ha ha. It has been so exciting planning this out and seeing everyone come together to make this happen and sharing the same vision ‘It is not about the I it is about the Island’.

May 18 – Official announcement that is is really happening. We still need as much help as we can get so if your business or someone you know is willing to help support this great cause please contact me tacogirlbelize[at]gmail[dot]com. Social Media update for today 54 of us have joined Bob the parrots Facebook page and 26 on Bob’s twitter – keep up the good work everyone and please tell your friends.

I have been watching Oprah this aft on CBS and seen all kinds of great footage during the commercials – Grenada – Trinidad – San Juan – Curaco. Nice to think about how Ambergris Caye Belize will showing soon be among them.

Oprah had a very interesting story about a family in the states who adopted a 7 year old girl from Haiti. They talked about how in the beginning because she was used to getting only one meal a day – Clare was eating like every meal was her last. It took a while for her to see that there was always going to be another meal. It was also interesting to hear what her coping skills in school were like as back in Haiti pushing and shoving were a way to get attention. I found it all very interesting having volunteered at HC school here on the island and seen some of the struggles kids face and how they cope. Saw on OCW yesterday that Joey Stevens presented a check for Haiti to the American Red Cross with yesterday on his Caribbean Weather Show for the amount of $53,500.00.

Sending a big Shout out to Rebecca Arceo at Seaduced for helping in a big way to make this happen. Time for a computer break – emails are multiplying faster than rabbits today.
