Those who know us know that we are always ready for a new adventure. That came in the form of a quick last minute trip to Belize for a week. We have always wanted to come back to Caye Caulker and do some more snorkeling here. So now that we have our scuba cert. we decided we had better use it. So here we are.
We of course had a bit of an adventure on the way here. We had booked our flights fairly close together. Because we used air miles we had a bit of a milk run. But we were supposed to be here at 3pm. So we figured we could do it. We didn't check any baggage so we could run if need be from one flight to another. Well that all came to a halt when there was a bit of snow in Minniapolis and our flight was delayed an hour. So we missed our flight to Belize from Dallas. The option was that we could stay in Dallas and leave the next day but the only flight was through Miami. So we asked if they could send us to Miami that day and we would leave from there the next morning. That worked out o.k. and they put us up in a nice hotel and gave us meal vouchers for all our meals. So the first night we spent in Miami Florida where I had never stayed so that was fun. We made it to Belize at 11:30am the next day and we were on Caye Caulker by 12:45. All was good.
We happened to meet a couple from Australia within an hour who jokingly asked for a ride back to their hotel when they saw we had rented a golf cart to go for a bit of a ride. Well they were lots of fun and we decided to go for a night dive that night with them. We saw some really cool sea life. We saw octipus and huge crab that looked like Alaskan King crab and we caught 7 lobster and took it back to our place and fried it up in Garlic butter for supper. So we definatly have had our share of adventure so far.
