Rays, Sharks,Turtles, Fish & Moray Eels Oh My

These photos turned out better than we expected. We were snorkeling at Hol Chan and Shark Alley off of Ambergris Caye.

Lots to see and these were the best photos from the lot. And yes, that is me holding a shark. Albeit a pretty tame nurse shark. Still never thought I would do this in an uncontrolled wild environment (or at all for that matter).

Samantha Brown from the travel channel stayed in the same resort as us (no relation) and went on this same outing. Alphonse was a great guide and we definitely recommend using him.

Home Again! Sly's Parents Stop By

Jim & Krystin came by to pick up Sly. He stayed at our house with the dog sitter (Christina did a great job) while we were away.
Days Spent Apart Pet Sitting

As you can see, Krystin is cooking up something that should pop around March (it's a girl!).

Hugo and Sly got along famously as usual.

Buh Bye Belize

We will miss the warm weather and the Belizian hospitality!

We will fly via Houston to Portland and arrive home around 7pm.

Smooth Landing Ex-Pat

Our pilot was awesome and Susan got to sit in the Co-Pilot seat on the way to Belize City. This is the best way to go as I was in the same seat out to San Pedro when we arrived for our trip on the 21st.

The fish tacos were phenomenal at Wild Mangos.

The hot sauce that we tried here was way hot but, delicious.
Marie Sharp's Fiery Habanero Hot Sauce

Last dining on the Island and this choice served us well.

Sunset Cruise

Cervesas Please!

Another Sunny but windy day today. Still beats rain, snow and whatever.

Mmmm Good

Susan whipped up some breakfast Potatoes this morning and Rob made the eggs. Fantastic.

Chicken Drop

Sorry on the sideways video but, it makes the point if you have seen this Island tradition.
