Playing Hide-and-Seek in San Pedro
We stand and watch as the water taxi glides away. We missed it by mere minutes. Now we must wait an hour-and-a-half for the next taxi. We settle down under a palm tree on the beach and put things into perceptive. An hour-and-a-half sitting on a beach beats an hour-and-a-half in a cubicle any day. …

Munching in San Pedro
While researching for our Belize trip,I read a lot of blog posts and articles that compared Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye.

Caye Caulker-Helpful Hints
Sunblock I thought I calculated correctly, but as people on the island seemed genuinely concerned for the health of our pasty white skin, we applied and reapplied ample amounts of sunblock. This caused us to run out a few days before our trip ended.There is no shortage of sunblock on the island, but it comes…

Staying at Oasi-Caye Caulker
When it comes to accommodations, we can go either way. For short trips and trips where we are crazy busy running around, a clean, safe place to fall into bed is all that is really needed. For a more relaxed trip where we know we will be spending a decent amount of time at our…
