Geez, Egnctrk, if you aren't going to May, we may very well be back there by then too. Hope you don't have my room (just kidding). Seriously, we probably won't make it back until June.

It does seem like an awfully long time....

Awww Jean, I wouldn't take your room [on purpose]

Seems like FOREVER !!! I'm almost to the point of throwing a swimsuit in the purse, driving to the airport and taking the next flight down. Geez...I need a decent rum punch! Next time down, the checked luggage will be full of fruit concentrate for the return [awful word :rolleyes: ] trip.

The planning keeps me going....

My former college roommate was in Ambergris Caye a week or so before we were in March of this year. I was supposed to bring her home some of that punch concentrate, but I forgot. I was on her 'list' for months. Finally managed to redeem myself when we visited in September. I'm not much of a rum drinker, but that punch concentrate is darn good stuff in and of itself.

We can actually get tickets right now for under $500.00, which is cheap for the local airport. Unfortunately, dear husband can't get off work. We are taking our (young adult) children to Key West for Thanksgiving. Guess I'll have to settle for that. Can you believe they didn't want to go to Belize??????? Jean

"...punch concentrate, but I forgot."

The concentrate is important stuff! Wasn't much of a rum person either until I had the first rum punch.

AA had airfare, direct flight, for $440 last week but it had to be used by Feb. Key West, Belize ...Key West, Belize ...definately Belize!

Have the kids been to Belize?

Nope, kids have never been to Belize. My oldest son is a pretty conservative traveler, doesn't have much interest in getting out of his comfort zone. In fact, when I told them we were going to travel this year for Thanksgiving and said they could pick the place, they chose Las Vegas. Phooey. Obviously, I had veto power. I do like Key West, so it will be an ok compromise.

A friend of mine at work just decided to go to Belize in January. So, I'm enjoying helping her plan her trip. I do wish I could go along.
