The Making of Belize Lifestyles

An Interesting fact about this October. there are 5 fridays, 5 saturdays and 5 sundays This only happens every 823 years… it’s auspicious and lucky Chinese dates they consider this to be fengshui money bags and it will bring you good fortune. Sent in by slf

Thanks to rm for debunking what I said above and letting me know it was a hoax via fb message – Saw this posted on your blog. It is another of those bullcrap internet myths. It happens like every 7-12 years, depending on Leap Year. Here are some years with 5, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in October 1999, 2021.  We are making our second trip to Belize next Month. Coming down with Mark Mulligan and Kelly McGuire (two Top Country artists). Counting the days.

Shout out if you are counting down a trip to Belize and how may days you have left? My Cousin – the Memphis girls – Trumpets – Chunky Ruth – Jayhawk’s + 1are a few others in count down mode.

This morning I am catching 7am Tropic Air flight to Belize City – going to meet up with the teal at Nigel at his office to film the intro for Belize Lifestyles. The Nuevo team and Belize Film commission are very please with how the tv series is coming together.

Change of plans since I wrote that yesterday I am not going to the city. I have decided to start my day by cleaning my desk. Chatting with Shuffles at the same time and going to put coast on just have to decide which one. This post still in editing stage I will be back with more later.

I have settled on last nights show about Ancient mysteries and Parallel Dimension. Author and investigator Graham Hancock is talking about his research into ancient mysteries – supernatural beings and parallel realms. Right now he is speaking about the archaeological discovery of the megalithic site at Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, dating back almost 12,000 years old. Some of the facts he presented are …. size comparable to Stonehenge – far older and site construction – giant stones which have been carved very precisely often with reliefs of animals and strange supernatural figures.

I have another great blog recommend for you. Met Michael on the San Pedro Poker Crawl Saturday night and found his story fascinating. My Final Voyage tells Michael’s story.

As promised here are pictures from Last Saturdays filming. We had a great time – the weather was cooperating and the boys at the pool bar were willing to try and sit quietly as we got the shots.

If you want to keep informed about the launch of our exciting new Belize tv series – upcoming contests and promotions – sign up for Belize Lifestyles newsletter – Belize Lifestyles twitter page.

I take the seniors from our academy to Belize every year for their senior trip. One of the first people I contact when... I start planning the trip is Laurie with TacoGirl Belize. She knows the island of San Pedro better than anyone else out there. Trust me, I have looked. If you are looking for the best restaurants, hang outs and shops then Laurie help plan your vacation.read more

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.
