You Better Belize It!
I booked my flight Thursday. I almost missed my 7:00 A.M. flight early Sunday morning. I was late, as usual, and I had to go through pat-down security because my dress was embellished. Yes, I am sure that Calypso Egyptian thread could kill someone...I dress to kill. They should be concerned!
I made sure to pack light so that I could breeze through security. One black bikini. 3 cover ups/sundresses. One pair of yoga pants and a tank top to work out and sleep in. A pair of comfortable Tory Burch flip flops that I figured would barely come back in one piece and comfortable tennis shoes for walking.
I never check luggage. I always take a big purse and a small carry on. What else do you need?!
I board a tiny plane. Tropic Air. Land without dying. I plan to visit the Great Blue Hole- one of the top scuba diving sights in the world and one of the 27 places to see before you die, according to Buzzed.
Run, Jump, Swim... |
I take a tour of the house. It is beautiful. I take a quick rinse in this amazing outdoor shower. I start walking in a direction that looks promising and end up at Victoria House, the center of civilization in San Pedro.
I share too many photographs, but "to share is twice the beauty" and if I cannot bring everyone to experience these different cultures at least I can share the view and inspire you to take a spontaneous adventure some day as well.
Outdoor bed, outdoor shower...Welcome to the Land of Make-Belize! |
The Blue Hole boat trip was one of the best trips of my life. I made new friends and felt like a mermaid under the sea. Thumbs up! Checked off the Bucket List. Now, I want to return with my brother to Scuba Dive.
The Amigos Del Mar Boat |
I got my Flippy Floppies... |
I went on a jet ski solo and got the damn machine stuck on coral reef- don't ask me how.
Within 10 minutes, I was stuck in coral... as soon as I was free, I kept speeding! |
Afterwards, the group went snorkeling. We swam with nurse-sharks! A stingray sat on my head. I went face-to-face with a green moray eel and it almost bit my foot. Whoops. Wish I had a picture.
A SHARK WEEK fan's dream come true... |
Our last day we went to Blue Water grill for lunch. I bought some postcards to send off to my friends and family. The best souvenir is a hand-written letter. I snagged a few sea shells from half moon caye.

It is safe to say, I have wanderlust.
Sunrise looks like Sunset...My two favorite times of the day. |
The Beach is my Sanctuary... It is my home. |
Would I return to Ambergris Caye? Of course! I want to scuba & skydive into the Great Blue Hole.
My friends, stay tuned for the next adventure...
