Still digging through pictures as I thought the previous 15 trips with a shot of the Belikin Beer plant weren’t good enough and I need a couple more days of cold weather to become really cynical for my trip report so please bear with me.
In the meantime I wanted to say that Ms Trumpet and I had a blast meeting so many you great ACMB members and that I consider myself a very lucky person in that not only do I have a great wife but I also have a lot of friends all over the US who share a common love and that is for that ‘crappy little island’ that needs to put a Home Depot up next to the strip mall. I will leave you with some quotes that I picked up this past week and please feel free to add any that you may have also heard;

“I can not wait to get back home so I can log onto Tacogirl’s blog and see what the hell I have been doing for the past 2 weeks.”

“Hey I know you!”

Text message sent to a cell phone on the island – “Touchdown Belize International – Operation Bill is going to $hit has begun!”

“How long have you known SJ, Bruce, KC Jayhawk and Laura?” “Well actually I just met them officially today but I have bantered back and forth with SJ and KC for months!”

Someone describing where they live “I live in a homogenous, boring, very conservative city; I call it ‘Pugtown!”

“What in the hell is a Carbunkle Trumpet?”

“I don’t know you that well on the board, you must not have made me mad.”
“No mam, I don’t talk politics!”

“Hey Peter what is this bell for?”

“WoooooooooHoooooooooooo!”

“Where are you going to leave the Sauce off Trophy?”
“I am not sure but I will leave it on the island in a bar somewhere.”
“Just don’t let Ernie have it, then he will have two!”

ROFLMAO!
Lets see....KCJayhawk is first quote...
Second one.......well that was said by a LOT of people..
I'm guessing the 3rd one was by Dita
Not sure about the next 2....
I heard the asking of the "What the hell is a CBT?!"
I'm sure more than one have asked Peter what the bell is for.
??? the WHHOOOHOOOO.... well, that's a given.....
the last one..... heheheheh...

Well I'm curious about #5?

Does anyone know where the Sauce Off Trophy is ?

South of Boca Del Rio

great stuff!

Klc, can you be a little more specific ?

Definitely not at my house....just the big hole where it SHOULD be!

Well, chit. I'll find the stupid thang and protect it

ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

Same here Ruthie.....I even cleared off a special space for it...now, I'll just have to keep it open like that for next year!!

lol!

I cannot begin to explain the depths of my feelings of loss...

“What in the hell is a Carbunkle Trumpet?”
That was me Carb on the sunset cruise, but I don't remember what you said! Let's see: Belikin's and rum punch, Blues something. You'll have to explain that one again!!!!!

"hey i know you!" was me, driving up front street and seeing CB on his first morning in SP. we ended up on CC together that day.

Bob don't you love forgetting something and also finding 4 bucks in coins Belize in your pocket? Guess that means a return trip will be in order!

That's why I always keep a BZ $20 in my wallet.. that way I'm assured a return trip!

Yep! It's the Belizean equivalent of throwing a coin in Trevi Fountain.

DCG and Carb, you are both so right. I came back with about $40 BZ. Between the depression and that $40 laying on the dresser, I just had to do it. I made reservation this morning for 2/14-21 for 2. A lovely lady wil be coming with me!!! WoooooooooHooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

SWEET!!!!!!!

AZ - Does she know about the "other" lady you have on AC????

Ernie's version of that is to leave an unpaid bar tab at Pedros

Hey, whatever works!

AZ - you go dawg!

WWHHHOOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOOOOO AZ!!!

OK I guess you guys met in AC?!?!?! With a couple new ones thrown in. I am sorry I missed that......I've been off doing other not so fun things. I missed this board! Makes me feel at home reading all of your posts.

How is AC these days, Mr Malibu and I have not been there in ages and I have not collected my case of Belikin for naming the future City of the North: Lagoona Nomora. :O))) The statute of collections is probably up on that one. So what's been going on in AC?

KLC, I missed that. I think I said something, but I've turned those "others" over to Ernie and Capt Jeff and of course you are always welcome!!!

Malibu, pleased to make your acquaintance. Are you still in Huston? There are way too many Texan’s on the board, but they are all loved!!

Malibu, Your prize still is in effect until February 23rd, 2009.
Wow, when did we have that contest, three years ago????

Hello azbob! Pleased to make your acquaintance too! I am still in Houston. Ya gotta love us Texans.

YIPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! My prize is still in effect!!! I was so proud when I won the contest, mainly because I've never won anything. OK reaper, I'm gonna try to collect on that. I'm trying to put together a trip for Dec or Jan. Yep, that was a very long time ago and still the City is not built! ......laugh.....

OK -- what is different in town now? I've not been to Belize in 3 or 4 years.
