Good-Bye Costa Rica, Hello Belize

A rough start to the day, our flight was at 6 30 in the morning, and we needed to be at the airport early. Getting up at 3am is hard, especially if you don't get to sleep until around midnight (that was Chris). The boys really did well, but I think it had to do with the fact that I made them go to sleep about 7pm. We had 3 different planes to get to Belize. One to El Salvador, another to Belize City, and then a small 8 person plane to Placencia. One thing I didn't know was that I booked us into business class. A nice treat! We ended up having a small snack like meal on every trip, and had nice big chairs to snuggle in. The longest flight we had was 1 hour and 20 minutes.

The view from each plane was fantastic, I really wanted to sleep, but how can you in 50 minutes? I wanted to take picutres, but I just didn't.

The boys had the best time on the tiny airplane, and I think I did too.

So, we are here, and we are in love again. This is so so very very different from Costa Rica. It feels like Island Life. There are a mix of people here, and most speak with a caribbean accent. All English. We are staying in an apartment along the longest narrowest sidewalk in the world. There are restaurants, stores, hotels and more all along here. One thing that Callym and I love is that there is sand and palm trees everywhere!

We were given a few pointers for our stay. One, Watch out for Scorpions. They aren't poisonous, but hurt a lot, and like to hide in shoes and clothes, and anywhere else dark. We haven't found any yet, but there were about 10 creepy millapedes around our floors last night before bed......

Today we have spent the entire day at the beach. The boys have tried using their goggles, and Chris found 2 star-fish and a jelly fish!

Pictures aren't working on this site again, and Skype is going in and out of service. Here are some pix, and if skype starts up again, we'll call..... (sorry we missed you last night Baba and Chocha Halia!)
