3 Planes and a Banana Beach





Phew, we made it and so far only one of us has decided to spend the night sleeping outside tonight. Hopefully the mosquitoes don’t eat Jade alive out there.

Aside from that, we had a really great trip down to Belize. We were just in time at the airport in Calgary so that by the time we got through customs it was time to hop on the first plane. Our next connection in Houston (which the girls were surprised to find out is in Texas) was really quick as well. When we finally got into Belize City I was sure there would be a problem getting the puddle jumper to Ambergris Caye, but no problems there either. We actually got a better deal than we would have online. It was a little 12 seater propeller plane. All in all, a great way to end this day of flying around North America. The girls were great the entire time and the boy slept through most of everything. So far we don’t feel the need to sell any of them :o)

We arrived at Banana Beach Resort safe, sound and sleepy. So far, Belize is great and the people very friendly. It is a tad expensive, but not much more than Canadian prices. We are all exhausted and hitting the sack early tonight. Tomorrow we are going to get ourselves organized for some snorkelling.

Stay tuned....
