The Road to Cayo Belize - part 1 by Alisa Reid We threw our backpacks onto the back of our golf cart and tied them in for the ride to town. We decide to leave the light on outside and the TV on inside. We have also come to the realization Steve's office might be a safer place to leave our computers and passports as we live outside San Pedro town, on the more remote North side of the Island. Our ferry boat to mainland Belize leaves at 9:30, so we decide to go into town for breakfast. We have also decided to leave our golf cart locked up in town on Front Street, as taxis are not allowed on the North side of the Island. We park in front of another real estate office, an empty space now since our English friend Peter jumped ship to fly back to reality. Something you see on the Island on a regular basis. We go to Estelle's, a favorite beach breakfast spot where Charles serves us fry jacks, bacon, and refried beans. Our favorite beach dog, who we affectionately named Playa, walks up ...

Love waking up at 6 am been having a very productive morning got advance guest posts set up for the next 2 days ready and started this mornings among other things - just realized the time I better get ready for the pool. Going to test waterproof camera at the pool today and see if the memory card formatted correctly - silly me I forgot to put it in when we went out Sunday. My underwater camera is another way of mastering patience. I have a set routine. First I run it under the tap and press the buttons a few times then I put it in a bowl of water while I go wash up. After that I rinse it off do the buttons again and set it outside in the shade to dry. Today I am timing it by lunch - will eat sandwich and drink iced coffee then it will be time to dry it off with a small cloth followed by adding the laundry into the dryer and finally I will be able to check out today's pool pics. BY the way it looks like my memory card did not format. I will have to check it once more or try my spare...

So much going on it's hard to know where to begin. Last night I was trying get pics off underwater digi cam so I could check out how well beach and underwater settings look and get to work blogging them. For some reason it was not working this time - so I put in the Vivitar disk to ge the driver. Instead of fixing the problem it created a whole new one. It turns out the program is too old for the newest windows service pack and I kept getting blue screen error messages. Lucky Paul thought to Google the error code so we knew what the problem was and possibly how to fix it. He tried a few things and even acer start up disks would not work so this morning he called Extreme Geeks and sent me off with a handwritten note of what he found the problem to be. Fingers crossed it is an simple and inexpensive fix - shuffles said they are really good based on her experience. I was on my way to the school anyways and would be riding right by their shop for an easy drop off. Walking around the sc...

Happy Mothers day shout out to our 2 Mom's in Canada - and mom's worldwide. Hope you are having a great day. Nothing says happy Sunday like a day at the beach - but first come the chores lol. Paul is downstairs hacking away at the banana trees with a machete and mowing the lawn while I tackle the upstairs bathroom. Back and forth with Dick and Carole on the coconut phone this morning - hoping to co-ordinate a snorkel at Chunky and Ruthies spot - Lara just popped up to check in on timing for the beach. What a chatty morning now Colette is saying hi. I have a system down for cleaning the counter. Since we have a double sink with a lot of counter space I clean one half then while it is start dismantling stuff on the other side - add random blogging and packing a beach bag into the mix today. Amazing how we all of are running on the exact same slight delay. Afternoon was great - ended up at Catamaran for a b it then walked to Canucks to meet Dick and Carole - they were dropping Zac...
