Luckyjim,

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. We did go on our holiday to Ambergris Caye and had a wonderful time. With two teenaged girls in tow (one of whom it seems the locals LOVED) we were kept quite busy. It was only in talking to Carol and Don at Crazy Canucks that I learned that this thread had been moved to the chat area (where it rightfully belonged) but I never go into the chat area. After getting back from AC I was a little disenchanted with the message board because of a thread titled "Canada Strikes Again" but I thought I'd at least check out this thread because Carol said that there were quite a few messages on it.

Anyhow, here I am and to answer your question, No I haven't heard of the diamond exploration around here. I've lived in the Peace Country for six years now and yes Belize is a great place to thaw especially right now - we are really getting the minus temperatures and snow up to our butts. Unfortuneately, it was beautiful when we left and when we came back, we only got the snow about five days after we got back. Murphy's Law!!
I got myself caught up with the Oliver family from Vanrena and am now married to Barry. Belize was our honeymoon. I don't know if you know any of the people that I know but I'll wait to see if you get this message.

Hi Carol, Hi Don

As you might have read we are up to our butts in snow now so enjoy the sun and the warm weather. We're jealous!!
Another Fairview-ite is headed your way in January. We told him all about the places we'd been and your place as well. You really need to get that flag back up!!

Good morning all:

We saw Ann-Marie and her husband here in Cozumel yesterday afternoon, very nice people, they reported that they had enjoyed their very short visit to Belize and are hoping to return sometime. They will post a report when they get back home.

A very special "Thank You" to them, from Benjamin for the books, candy and the "maple", the hot cakes will be very special tomorrow morning, also Laura loved the "chocolate".

Hola Ann-Marie, I see that you are safely back home. Our visit was way too short.
