Last night was the culmination of the 2017 San Pedro Lobster Festival – the zenith of 11 years of festivals that we’ve held on this island to celebrate the opening of lobster season in Belize. And I was asked to be a judge of all the lobster dishes submitted by the 19 different restaurant booths.Keep reading »

Leave the guys at home…head to Ambergris Caye, Belize for 10 days at the Blue Tang Inn and celebrateKeep reading »
San Pedro, Belize’s 2016 Annual Lobster Festival is the Best Yet
Last night was the big block party for the 10th annual Ambergris Caye Lobsterfest and it was an absolute blow-off.

I wasKeep reading »

A One Night Stay in Placencia, At the Beautiful Laru Beya Resort
I considered it WAY advanced planning. My plan – attend two Lobster Festivals in one weekend – Placencia on Saturday and then with the help of Tropic Air, Caye Caulker on Sunday – was put in place almost 2 weeks in advance. 2 WEEKS! And I’m very much a last minute person… But what I didn’tKeep reading »
Can You Get Enough Lobster? Caye Caulker’s AMAZING 2014 Lobsterfest & Bonding with a Manatee
The beginning of the Lobster season is a hard-and-fast date each and every year – June 15th. And to celebrate, (there’s always a reason for a massive party in these parts) three different beach towns in Belize throw some pretty fabulous festivals. The problem is…2 of the parties are on the same weekend so I have never beenKeep reading »
Placencia, Belize’s Lobsterfest is One Giant Beach Party
Even though I live on a gorgeous beach in Ambergris Caye, Belize, travelling south to Placencia always feels like a beach holiday. Placencia Village is set at the end of a long, very narrow peninsula…for most of its development, it was accessible only by boat (or a tedious long drive down a very bad road).Keep reading »

Running Around the Island Plus San Pedro Lobsterfest Gets Chocolatey
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 »
Summer’s Here in Belize: Lobsterfest, World Cup Action, Flowers and Heat
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 »
