Thank you SimonB, Chloe, S.I.N., Ibanole and BarbaraK! Living in the 'daks has been a wonderful gift, but it comes with a price (cold weather, no ocean, mud season and black flies). However, the folks here are wonderful, the outdoor activities abundant and the autumn second to none. Two of our three children start college this August, so this will be the last big vacation away for awhile. My wife and I love Anguilla....but something about Ambergris Caye seems very special to others. So we decided to check it out with our kids and soak up some sun, enjoy some rum, and build a memory. It looks like we are on the right track.

Vicki, if you're there at the same time, we will try to find you and say hello. It may be easier for you to spot me....I will be the very pale guy starting to sunburn! Hope we see some of you there.

I definitely will post a follow up.
