Belize and beyond…

Hi all!

We are in the process of getting ready for our trip to Belize!! We are excited to bring some new adventures to our blog as we experience them.

We will be spending some time on the mainland in the western part of the country in a town called San Ignacio. It’s in the western part close to the border of Guatemala. I’m drawing a blank on the hotel we are going to be staying at, I will provide a link and the name after we get there. So far we haven’t set a schedule for what we are going to do, we’re looking at seeing some Mayan ruins, tubing or canoeing in some caves and visiting the local market.

After our time on the mainland we are going to Caye (key) Caulker which I believe is a 45 minute boat ride off shore. We will be “Movin’ on up” and staying at Weezie’s. We will be doing a snorkeling trip out to the “Blue Hole”. I debated doing a dive there but from what I’ve seen inside the hole isn’t that interesting. It’s also a long day, we will have to leave at 5:30 in the morning. The company (Frenchie’s) that is taking us actually provides breakfast so that gets them points. We won’t be in a rush to get ready and get food before. I will be doing a couple two tank dive days, one day that Emily will come snorkeling with us.

It should be a fantastic 14 days, or at least 12 days in Belize since travel days are usually not fantastic. I will be using my sound deadening headphones. I will do a review on them. I tried Emily’s last trip for a short time and it was nice.

We are anticipating the possibility of a seaweed problem while there. Currently it’s pretty bad in Cancun Mexico and we will be just south of there. We do know it is in the water around Belize but how much it will affect our trip remains to be decided. It was hard to find information about it. Whenever we looked it up the positive travel stuff beat it out in the search engine.

Hopefully everyone is signed up for automatic email updates! We look forward to sharing our experience with you all! Hope you all are well and enjoy the posts!
