Jack....While my hubby is at work I must disclose the truth.....at least 3 of the 5 checked bags belonged to my hubby filled with fishing gear/rods and clothes. The other 2 were for me & my two teenage daughters! SHHHHH...just wanted to clarify the fact that it's not always the ladies that overpack ...Goody

ibanole, just curious, how long have you owned the resort & how much time do you spend on AC each year? Do you run another business in the states?

goody, you win the woman of the year award if you can get your stuff & two teenage daughters stuff in only 2 bags. Or were they two steamer trunks!!

J&R,
We bought Caribe Island Management a little over 2 years ago. My husband lives there all year, and I go back and forth, usually a month in the US, a month in BZ. I won't lie to you, I hated Belize at first, and the thought of being there for more than a week at the time made me ill. (I was much more a Florida/Key West/Cancun kind of girl. But, it has grown on me. I have spent up to 6 weeks there, but I sure do love coming home to Dairy Queen, Wal-Mart and yes, Neiman Marcus!!
I did have a business in the US, but sold out some time back. I don't know if you know my history, but I owned a wonderful Cheerleading Company for years. When my son died 3 years ago, my life changed totally. My husband and I discovered Belize, and I wanted nothing more to do with cheering. But honestly, while doing business in the US is a pain (you all know about Cheerleading Moms!!), doing business in Belize is a REAL challenge. My family and friends tell me that I don't have to watch "Days of our Lives" or "Survivor"..... I live it!!
Cheerz!

Vicki,thanks for the info and I can't imagine what it must be like to have a loss like the one your fanily went through.I have two sons and I guess we all take things for granted sometimes.My wife Rose and I have always made it a point to tell our sons we love them when they go out the door because life can be cruel and you never know when the curve ball comes.The best part is they return the "I love you to". Our prayers to you and your family.

I see you live in the real deep south of Georgia.My brother in-law lives in Cumming, north of Atlanta.

I live in a small town north of Boston called Swampscott & just last week the Cheerleading squad went to Florida and blew everybody away with runner-up showing.Isn,t it usually those southern gals who place that high!!!!

Best regards,Jack
