Belize Belize.... bugs ... Belize

View from our house/Child playing


I just returned from Ladies trip to Belize...actually St Ambergis Island, a part of Belize, but I think it is mostly a resort area with lots of expats. (Who some how all like to tells us  how "that guy is a millionaire"--huh-Big deal).   What was nice - the beautiful views, the friends, the laughter. the cook, the pool.

Looking for the fish

  • Didn't like the bugs. We had flies everyday around the pool.  Then the mosquitos would come in for dinner and a few of us would just give up the DEET and try to get the fewest bites.  People tell us we just hit a quiet spell but I have my doubts.  This many bugs don't move in over night!.  The last thing and final assualt was the sand fleas (no see ums for those from the east coast). They knew we were from out of town, fresh meat and took us for all we were worth.
  • On a better note, the snorkeling was excellent.
  • The ruins trip (I did not go) was a great success. All the ladies who went enjoyed it completely.
  • The petting of rays and sharks at the reserve, as well as the snorkeling in the reserve was reported to be the best most folks have ever done.
  • Road Kill Bar turned out to be a fun, laugh filled evening of Karoake. Even if I can't sing, they tolerated me.
    NO SEE UMS UGH!!!!!!! OUCH


Feeding Sharks

So although we didn't really go into mainland Belize, our trip was pleasant.
I wish I could say I would return soon but there are too many other places to see. 
(I did find it a bit expensive and to many millionare expats)

The laughter and fun with my lady friends made all the little whoa's small.  Thanks VBBF's ever!
