Dallas Dave!
I would like nothing better than to bring you that 6 pack! My husband, son and I were on Ambergris Caye a couple weeks ago and are planning a return visit next February - wish it could be sooner but funds don't allow. I have to admit we were caught a bit off guard when we first arrived, it wasn't quite what we expected. By the end of the second day, the realitiy of the increadible people, the scenery, the food, the WATER, the sounds, had kicked in and we were ready to become expatriates of the US and move to Belize!! What caught us the most was the people. Gracious, family oriented, kind, hard working and sooo easy going. Quite a nice diversion from the rather "intense" people at home. We actually got a hug from an employee (Francis) from Ramon's Village, where we stayed, when he took us to the airport for our dreaded trip home. My four year old still talks about him almost daily and wonders when he's going to come over and play.
I'm counting the days until we get to return to La Isla Bonita - trust we'll have that 6 pack in hand....
