What's the latest scoop?

Oscars Viewing Party - February 24th, 7:00 pm - 10:30 pm
There has been much back and forth – rumors galore – around the Lazy Lizard at the Split in Caye Caulker. I’ve written a handful of blogs about the saga (take a look just after this post.) Electricity removed, liquor license revoked, closed down for a few weeks, open but not serving alcohol and nowKeep reading »
Texas singer/song writer Kelly McGuire is back in San Pedro for his annual Birthday Bash. Kelly’s albums “Boat in Belize” & “King of the Island” and many lyrical references to spots around San Pedro make him popular but it’s his super friendly, fun personality…the way he learns everyone’s names and his easy going story telling about hisKeep reading »
In yesterday’s post I obsessed, slightly, about the gorgeous food that I ate in Maya Beach Belize…at the Maya Beach Bistro. Here is a selfie I took walking from Belize Ocean Club to The Bistro. Gorgeous weather. And then walking back on the beach. I even took bagels and the AMAZING cinnamon bun toKeep reading »
I arrived at The Belize Ocean Club, Placencia at about 10pm on Friday night for the kick-off party of the first Belize Electronic Music Weekend. 10pm and the party and the DJs, who would play until 5 or 6 in the morning, were just getting started. Two full days and nights of events were planned andKeep reading »
I will admit that as a born and raised New Jersey gal, I hadn’t given Texas a huge amount of thought in my formative years. Sure…I knew everything was bigger in Texas…and that the people were, in general, college football and country music obsessed but to me, it was a far off land…one with itsKeep reading »
Yesterday was a perfect Friday end to a gorgeous week. I mean GORGEOUS and…I’ve been harping on it each and every day. Really rubbing it in your faces. 🙂 But as Winter Storm Iola rolls into the Northeast, a cold front, probably the very same, has moved over San Pedro and today’s skies are grey…it’sKeep reading »
Sailing has been an Olympic sport since the very first games in Athens in 1896. And interesting fact to me – it was a gender independent sport until 1988. Women and men competing together. Apparently that is what gender-independent means. Sailing has also been a huge part of quite a few lives in different parts of Belize.Keep reading »
The Split at Caye Caulker is the center of the island – the hub of activity and I’d guess one of the most photographed spots in Belize. It’s unpolished beauty is one of the first things I saw when I first came to Belize and I’ve been in love with it ever since. Everyone who visits (andKeep reading »
Halloween 2014 felt a little…endless. The big parties – the Holiday Hotel (check out Part One and Part Two) and the SAGA Humane Society Pet & Kids’ Party were last weekend. October 25 and 26th. There were a smattering of parties during the week…lots of decorations…school kids bazaars…people dressing for work…random people dressed as…ummmm…skeletons in the park.Keep reading »
San Pedro’s biggest Halloween party of the year. Well…human party. Saturday night the adults partied until dawn (or very close to it) and then Sunday afternoon, the pets and the kids dressed up for the SAGA Humane Society Party that may have been the biggest yet. I posted lots of gorgeous pictures yesterday (taken by SteveKeep reading »
Actual Halloween falls on a Friday this year…which means the BIG PARTY night in San Pedro (always a Saturday) came early. Last night, the Holiday Hotel rolled out the red carpet (literally) and almost instantly, Halloween was in full swing. San Pedro goes absolutely nuts for the holiday and this annual party lasts until dawn. MyKeep reading »
Yesterday afternoon, I was invited to two parties in San Pedro. One for my lovely Crossfit buddies (Dennis & Monica’s) daughter Chelsea – she was turning 4 years old. And the other to celebrate the opening of a new hostel in town and for the birthday of the owner, Maria. Fun. The first party wasKeep reading »
Halloween is a big deal in San Pedro. I could spend a few paragraphs with boring information about the origins of the holiday – both religious and harvest based. Or speculate how it made its way down to Belize (maybe a partying pirate ship? or some Christian missionaries?) but I think it’s best to beKeep reading »
I wrote yesterday about my two day stay up at Grand Caribe Resort – and it was absolutely lovely. I had an excellent time…extremely comfortable and relaxing… The newest building on the property is being completed…and it’s almost there. Just the finishing touches being applied. This new complex is 4 stories high and is goingKeep reading »
Sargassum, or the seaweed that is now quite plentiful in Belize, is all over the beach. And, while not all that attractive, it’s seriously fascinating stuff. There is a whole “sea” of it that is a home for all sorts of baby fish and sea creatures, it’s a spawning site…it’s basically a giant floatingKeep reading »
I have posted photos of Mata Rocks Resort since the very beginning of my blog (June 2011 if it comes up on Belize Jeopardy). Mata Rocks is the small, lovely hotel just north of me and one of my very favorite beach bars – both for the scenery and for the bartenders. My friend, Jamie, who wasKeep reading »
Have I packed enough random topics into today’s post? Maybe I can string them together in a coherent way. You can let me know. Yesterday the Grand Prize Winner for the 2014 San Pedro Lobsterfest was announced. The prize is…well…amazing. Ridiculous in fact. I stopped into the Seaduced Tour office and saw the prizes fannedKeep reading »
WHERE? you may ask and as of early this morning, so would I. Mahogany Bay Village is a relatively new, sometimes controversial area just south of me at about Mile 2 South Ambergris Caye. At one time, when the land was being filled it was dubbed “Sugar Caye” but that was later changed and inKeep reading »
I’ve just started putting together a daily schedule for myself the night before and, get this, actually writing it down. This running your own business thing is tricky for me – the die-hard procrastinator and queen of no organization. I figure that something basic like a schedule can’t be THAT difficult to do. JustKeep reading »
Okay…so summer isn’t technically here. The first official day is Saturday, June 21st. Which also happens to be the big block buster block party for Lobsterfest here in San Pedro. BUT in my mind summer arrived in Belize over the last few weeks. Despite what many imagine before visiting, there are more than two seasonsKeep reading »
