Ahoy!

A couple weeks before Easter we received an amazing care package from the "Easter Bunny" back home! Three words...girl...scout...cookies! It was a great start to our Easter holiday! Clifton and I went on an amazing sailing adventure. It was three days of island hopping, fishing, snorkeling and fun in the sun. We went on the Ragamuffin tour leaving from Caye Culker on Good Friday.

Day 1: We sailed all morning and was quickly greeted by a dolphin named “Walter.” We made several stops that day one of them being at English Caye. We ended the day at Rendezvous Caye. This was the smallest island we had ever been on. It was about the size of an acre. We struggled to put up our “maga” tent. We had the “ragamuffin” tent for sure. It was a good thing nothing lived on the island or else we might have been a bit more worried! That night we enjoyed shrimp cerviche, fresh barracuda (caught by Clifton), with rice and potato salad.

Day 2: We got up and watch the sun rise. Then took down our shanty tent and headed to the dock for breakfast. We were met by scrambled eggs, toast and actual sausage! We boarded the boat and headed to our next destination. We stopped at another caye for snorkeling and spear fishing! We ended the day at Tobacco Caye. We set up tent again this time with much more ease! We didn’t get stuck with the “maga” tent this time. We headed to one of the two bars on the island where I had a delicious virgin pina colada and Clifton enjoyed a beer. We watched the sun set over the water then headed to bed.

Day 3: This was the last day of our trip. We boarded the “Queen” and headed to our final destination…Placencia. Once again we made several stops along the way. We enjoyed talking to everyone on the boat. It was neat to visit with so many people from so many different countries! Our day ended just right…gelato from Tutti Fruit’s in Placencia. One word…delicious! It was a wonderful ending to a fabulous Easter trip!

March Madness!

March is here in all it's glory and it is starting to get hot again. We went up to Belize City to greet the new trainees on March 25th. It is hard to believe that we have already been here 8 months. Wow, time is really starting to fly by. They walked out of the airport with such enthusiasm and excitement, it was very refreshing...but we have to say, we are very glad trainging is over for us!
