TODAY! Conch season is here in Belize. October 1st until April 30th or sooner if the Queen Conch quota set by the department of fisheries is filled. The giant sea creature (he’s technically a snail but…let’s not ruminate too long on that) is a favorite across Belize. Shells on display on the main road inKeep reading »
Finding the Best Beach in Belize on the country’s Most Popular Island Belize is fast becoming well known for the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere (second only to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef), for our gorgeous snorkeling, diving, sailing…all types of water sports. The closer you get to the reef, the whiter theKeep reading »
I would never recommend just one day on Ambergris Caye. I really think that you need at least 4 or 5 days and ideally a week to get the feel of the place, to do many of the great activities, to visit some of our restaurants and then visit your favorite ones again, to getKeep reading »
When traveling north, there is one bumpy road that will take you to the west side (or the leeward side) of the island. It takes you from the reef side to a strange scrubby moonscape of jagged limestone… …stunted trees and lush mangroves and then the other side of Ambergris Caye. Crystal clear, calm blueKeep reading »

If you don’t know Estel’s from visiting the island or the 100 photos of my breakfast that I have posted all over social media or the gushingKeep reading »
Shopping for souvenirs on vacation is one of my least favorite things to do. I do NOT enjoy wasting quality beach, snorkel and tour time sifting through…junk. And often it is just that. Shot glasses, fridge magnets, junky jewelry, tacky t-shirts. What seemed funny when you riding on your vacation high, is more just…embarassingKeep reading »
2013 was my year of desserts…but it is as if that year never ends! After deciding not to worry about things like calories or vitamins, minerals or fiber content (for the time being!)…a big slice of pie or cake seems like the perfect lunch, a brownie, a very satisfying dinner. A stop at anKeep reading »
I am a giant GIANT fan of hand-painted, colorful signs for businesses, private houses…for just about anything. Neon? Flashing lights? Gaudy pre-printed signs? Not a fan. So as I look through thousands and thousands of my pictures from the past few years, I thought I’d post just a handful. I’ll let you categorize them asKeep reading »
