We Went to Placencia to Do Nothing at All
It is so easy to ABSOLUTELY do NOTHING at ALL in Placencia and not feel guilty about it. After a few crazy months of work and then visits to the hospital it was totally worth taking at least a couple days to relax on the beach, sway in a hammock and take siestas all day […]
Camping on the Beach is UnBelizeable!
What should have been a visit to the Basil Jones Summer Camp to catch up on the activities of the camp kids, turned out to be a full 2-day adventure that included a golf cart ride in pitch black conditions, being eaten alive by sand flies, camping on the beach and drying out wet mattresses, […]

It’s a Dirty Job But My Traveling Feet Volunteered
I have been doing a little volunteer work for the past two weeks. I am in knee-deep in waters with My Traveling Feet stomping on Sargasso (seaweed) that has been invading the beaches on Ambergris Caye.
