Well I guess I should be reading this board more often! I feel left out!! I am the owner of Barb's Belize - a travel agency that deals only with Belize. I used to post very often on the board but have gotten SOOOO busy with my little business that I hardly have time anymore. I probably arranged trips for half of you! I recognize a lot of the names. Anyway, I am 41, married, have 3 boys (who LOVE San Pedro), and recently relocated my home and office to Taos, New Mexico. It's my San Pedro in the Mountains! I've been going to Belize since '94 and have been down about 15-16 times by now. I always spend some time in SP and also try to see another part of the country each time. I spend a significant part of my trip checking out hotels so I can let the folks know the scoop. My mission is getting the right people to the right places in Belize. As all of you know it is very different from most any other place which is why I specialize in only Belize. I was working as a travel agent in Woodstock NY when I went to Belize on a routine travel agent trip. Well, it changed my life and since then I have to force myself to go anywhere else!!! Sometimes I feel more at home in San Pedro than anywhere else! But it looks like Taos is going to be a good second. Check out my website at
www.barbsbelize.com (created by Marty, text and photos by yours truly!) If I can help you out at all or you just want to chat, just write. I try to give good air only discounts to msg board regulars! And have lots of hotel and other info for you first timers!
