Develop Your Eccentricities

by tacogirl 29/04/2011
written by tacogirl 29/04/2011

I think David Ogilvy was  bang on with this thought – Develop your eccentricities while you are young. That way, when you get old, people won’t think you’re going gaga.

I am feeling very TGIF today – decided that my best course of action was to get up early – get as much as I could done then take off for a short adventure trip to the mainland.

Flight to Municipal / Belize city was just what I needed – a nice break away. Did not stay too long quick trip to Canadian consulate – cab ride around the city – pit stop at the restaurant near municipal airport – quick hang out in the outdoor lounge at Tropic Air and back to the island by 1pm.

Tropic Air has announced new late evening flights between Belize City Municipal and San Pedro beginning 15 March 2011. Flights depart San Pedro daily at 6:00 pm, and depart Belize City  Municipal daily at 6:30 pm.

So nice to see so many people and businesses, being involved in charities. ” Fair warms the cockles of me heart and puts faith back into me fellow man, ” as we say in old Lancashire, England!!!

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

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.
