for a giggle, i thought i'd look and see what my very first post on the AC board was. This is what I found WOW! This was march 18, 2006.

Hi all!
I am going to belize for the first time on march 18 for 8 days and am looking to decide if i want to move there FT. I am from the PHila area, and will be travelling alone...anyone there interested in showing me around/offering advice/etc?

Thanks!

Lara

Thanks Lara for posting this! It's fun to go back and see where this all began..

Mine was:
June/ 2006....... time flies!

Charlene,
We were at BC's on that Sunday the 25th. Although I was looking forward to trying BC's BBQ (that i've heard so much about) I must say that the burrito's (with chili on top) were pretty dang good. Enjoy your time off (which I'm sure you will) and when I get back down that way, I'll be sure and stop in and partake of the BC's BBQ! P.S. I still loved your earrings. I'm saving up for a pair for me the next time I'm down there! It was nice meeting you. Lydia

OMG! I just found a prophetic phrase if there ever was one!!

And last but not least......find the balls to jump out of a perfectly good airplane! July '06..

Okay . . my first post (in October, 2006-just prior to our second trip) . .our next trip will be Number 8.

After an interminable year, mi esposa and I are heading back to AC in a little over three weeks for our second visit, a longer one this time. We're bringing along a friend of mine from Iowa who has never been out of the USA and will be travelling on a virgin passport. I've been e-mailing him pictures from our trip last year and from the ambergriscaye.com website and I think he's already packed to leave. I cannot tell you all how much this message board has meant to me this year as I have tried to fight the urge to chuck it all and head south.

A few things I'm really looking forward to:

Sunrises, the hammocks in front of Coral Bay Villas, fresh papaya for breakfast, snorkeling with Geraldo on El Gato and a beach BBQ at Mexico Rocks, Rick and Elva at Crazy Canuck's, Margi at Coconuts, mojitos at the Tackle Box, sushi at the Blue Water Grill, Belikins and more Belikins

Detect a theme here? Look for my butt on a stool at BC's on Sunday, November 12th. Counting the hours in Kansas City . . . .

August 2007

I have to come to S.P. for a week (any week) in September.. I know its kinda the dead time, and some places are closed?

Any week better than any other?

Where can I catch a Cowboys Game (Sunday night's on 9th and 23rd, late afternoon game on 16th)

Greetings to all in San Pedro interested in making a skydive. i'm bringing 80 people to the island Feb.10th,2005. we will have tandem rigs for all who want to make a first jump. video and stills will be available. only experienced jumpers will be leaping from our caravan that holds 17 skydivers. we will be landing on the open area just north of Barefoot Skinny's bar. if you have questions or comments please send me an e-mail. meet us at the Sunbreeze for a jump



Ha ha, it only seems like two years ago. I read the thread, Seashell was my biggest critic. And to think the only thing up that way back then was Skinny's bar and 2 houses. sigh.

10/17/07: "163 days and it can't go fast enough. It's starting to turn chilly in the Arizona mountains and I HAVE TO GO THROUGH AN ENTIRE WINTER BEFORE COMING DOWN.;"
My first trip was in March 08 and I will always be back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hang'in on tight to my dream!!!!!

First trip 2003. After 12 visits since then, buying a modest place is definitely on my five-year plan.

I hear Sapphire Beach is modest.....

Seems a little cult-ish to me...

Great KLC, this thread is getting locked in 5,4,3,2,1........

hey Bob......

O-H

$1.00 they go down tonite bub, Kentucky wins..........Tressel is on the bench tonite giving advice to Matta, what could possibly go wrong?

reaper, you thought that was critical? LOL I didn't realize you were such a sensitive guy.

That said, at the time, I was concerned for you all, but you've more than proved my concern was unnecessary (for the most part). I doff my hat to you, sir.

It's a shame that the landsite isn't what it once was and that the annual traditional will be changing . . .and THAT said, from time to time, we all lament about this change or that, but many changes are for the better. My best wishes to you, for your changes to be wonderful and beneficial.

As you also know, I'd always wished to skydive into the Blue Hole, but I'm too much of a wuzzy and will stick to descending into the BH from the surface of the water.

(I can't find my first post . . .but it was probably critical of something, hee hee).

My first post is so old it was made with a chisel and stone, can now be found as a paver on Front Street.

@Chloe -- lol!

I just checked mine and discovered I've been saying the same things about the same topics for about a decade. I'm a slow learner for sure.

Not a slow learner Elbert, just consider yourself consistent!!!

I just checked my first few posts feb 12 2003 I was asking where to eat LOL. I see i stayed at mayan princess
seems like a hundred years ago .Some of the places are gone now sad to say .

The more things change, the more they stay the same......

"International Call Back Services

Has anybody tired one from here? I used one for 6 years I lived in Europe and it was cheap and easy. Belize is a little expensive, 0.29 cents USD a minute but that is better than the rates I have been paying.

I have been trying to get on Skype as well, but have had no luck placing PC to PC calls. I understand this is an ever changing issue, anyone have Skype and is using it?"

The advice was to wait, BTL would stop blocking Skype after a while....
