Apparently I just won a big wack of cash 400,000 pounds whoo hoo. I was told because of numerous fraudulent schemes going around the internet – confidentiality should be accorded at all times and that I am expected to keep the news of my winning and my ticket number to myself until I have received my prize money. Got to love spammers [NOT] ha ha.

I have been busy since last night gathering tacogirl stats – quite pleased with my results. Big shout out to tacogirl daily Belize blog readers worldwide – thanks for inspiring me.

I was inspired to share today’s pictures after reading a post on Trip Advisor this morning asking about the Best beaches in Belize. Ramon’s area got named and I chimed in with Banyan Bay resort – my favorite below the Gilligan’s Island beaches around the west side of the island and north around Tranquility Bay Resort.
