We just booked our airfare for our 2nd trip to AC on Feb 3rd -12th, after our first trip last May. Will anyone else be down that week? We'll be staying at the Palms and can't wait, especially with it being Carnival!

Thanks for the heads-up on the airfare sale, Barbara K.

Tradewinds

We will be in paradise from January 24th through February 11th. Maybe we could hook up - possibly at BC's.

This will be out 5th trip to AC and we obviously love it.

One of the best people on the Island is Ana, she will make your stay at the Palms a wonderful experience.

Barbara K. is great to deal with - she makes getting to AC some much easier !

We'll definitely be at BC's on the 6th for the bbq, and it's usually our starting out (and sometimes ending) point for the evening.

hi Johndenver here, am going to be in A/C at Banana beach the 1st thru the 8th and just saw a post about carnival...What is it...will i be there for it?? been to belize 9 times now and have never hit it for carnival so would love to hear about it thanks john

Jan and I will be at Captain Morgans Jan. 29th through the 12th. This is our 4th trip and will be our first carnival also. Can't wait.

We will be in San Pedro from Feb 2nd till Mar 2nd, Staying at Aqua Marina Suites. We usually hit BC's for the BBQ, otherwise we usually check in with Margie at Coconuts bar (whatever it's called by now) every day or every other day.

We will be at Mata Rocks - right next door. Come on over to The Squirels Nest (the beach bar) and we will tip back a cold one (or three). Ask anyone for Byron or Linda.

Hope we can make connections. All others are welcome the little bar is great - also some really great people that own it and work there.

Byron

We will be there Jan 29 thru Feb.13th, staying at the Blue Tang. Sitting here listening to Jerry Jeff's "Bathing Suits and Cowboy Boots." Getting in the mood for San Pedro. Just cannot wait. Who will be at BCs on Feb 6th? Everyone I hope!!
Never been in San Pedro for carnival, I bet it's fun!!!

We were in San Pedro for Carnival last year...it's quite a hoot!
I have photos posted at http://community.webshots.com/user/lafram100
SOME PEOPLE REALLY KNOW HOW TO DRESS!!!

My wife and I will be there for the Skydiving Boogie. It should be a blast. Come and see us jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

Don't forget the See's Candy and the golf balls John Roberts.

Hey dan wassup for you?? am bringing my youngest sis who just got certified a year ago, and my oldest sis, who is a nun, for a hard earned vacation...will try to bring some See's candy. Olderandbetter stayed at the "Rocks" in april and liked it alot, thought that with 3 people i might need a bit more room so i will be at b.beach. Yes i will try to stop by the bar and check you guys out john in denver, like you i am older and excellent ha ha

hey still no one has said what carnival is yet----wassup??? john in denver

OlderandBetter, will furshur check u out at mata rocks, stayed there in april and liked it alot. just sent u an email about splittin some fishin time hope we can hook up one way or another...john

will be in san pedro from feb 8 thru the 24th was just there in october. can't wait to get back in the water!! hope to see you there!!

Will be arriving in San Pedro on Febuary 20 for 5 days was there in October. Will be staying at Banyan Bay....those Panty Rippers are calling my name!!!!

My sister Marlene and I will be there Feb 1st to 17th.. and another friend may be joining us for the last week.

We should have a MESSAGE BOARD party one day.. I did this one year, with another group and it was fun. We agreed on the date and place and then just showed up and proceeded to try and out drink each other.. ok, maybe not out drink each other but we had fun. The other funny part of it was that the island isn't that big but some people we never saw again during the remainder of the vacation and others we passed a couple of times.

BC's Sunday BBQ is one place (a must do during your vacation!) but there are lots of other places like Fido's, Hammock House, etc..

Let's decide soon.. then there will be something else to look forward to, as if we need anything other than a trip to Belize :p

Thanks for sharing all the fantastic info on this message board.
We will be visiting Belize for the first time. Staying at Banyan Bay Feb 2 - 8, Cahal Pech Village Jan 30 - Feb 2, with two boys ages 4 and 6. Whoops, by then they will be 5 and 7. Have been doing a lot of practice snorkeling in the bathtub. We can't wait, as it is in the single digits yet basically snowless in Minnesota.

Is Carnival kid-friendly?

BC's is always a good starting place. We'll be there on the 6th, which is also Super Bowl Sunday!

carnival is kool but be prepared to be PAINTED!

When is jerry jeff's first show next weekend?

gailtor, I like your idea. MESSAGE BOARD PARTY. Where, what time. We arrive Feb 4-18. Superbowl Sunday 5th not a good time for me to meet people, as my husband will not want to visit. HUGE football fan. I will just be with him to keep him in Belikins or diet coke depending on who wins. Ha! Sounds like a new topic to post. Message board party dates/places. They should do this once or twice a month. A different place each time. Ya think?

hell the big game isn't until evening - ya got all day to get trashed & VISIT

You're so right. lol

We'll be at Exotic Caye from Feb. 8th till the 20th, 17 sleeps and a wake up! Can hardly wait! Ash Wednesday is late this year, so Carnival is also. Carnival will be Feb. 25, 26, 27,& 28, at least that is my understanding, please tell me if I'm wrong! Hope to meet up with some of you boarders at BC's one Sunday or I can be found most happy hours at Crazy Canucks!
Coco

Will be there 2/7 - 3/2. Would love to find a way to recognize all of you. A party would be a hoot...or a "Member of the Board" T-Shirt so we could recognize each other. Any other ideas?

Post a date, place and time and we'll be there.

Hi john robertsdenver,
I've been in San Pdero Town for Carnival a couple of times. It's relatively low-key. I mean, we're not talking about Rio or Trinidad here, just Belize. The kids like to throw eggs and paint gets sloshed around. There's the usual parade. The whole thing's fun for all.

Dan

Dan, been here for carnival too. How is it that this board's thread has posts on it from 12/28/04?I was there for carnival in 2005 and that is what my question was referring to!! Thanks anyway Dan! Was lucky enough to hit belize 3 times last year but don't think it's gonna happen this year for I will be recovering from rotator cuff surgery after the 24th of feb. and the doc said no diving for 6 mos. bummer john in denver

My wife and I will be there Feb 3rd to the 12th.. staying at coconuts... anybody looking for a dive buddy, as mine is 3 months pregnant... ( that also goes for belikin drinking buddy )

todd

I too am down Feb. 3rd but not going to dive. Perhaps we will run into one another drinking.

I bet the bartendars can make many good virgin drinks for your wife. Try the "horny monkey" at Blue Water. I'm sure they can make a good virgin, along with other good drinks!

Four of us will be there from the 27th Jan-Feb5th staying at Mata Roacks 4th time for us . It would be nice to meet board people as well we will be at the Squirls Nest for sure ask for Wayne&Denise/Jack& Denise from Delaware

your wife would be a good party buddy for me, not too into drinking lately. I agree that the horny monkey is a good drink that would taste great virgin too.

I think everyone I know is 3 months pregnant. Wow, is Oct/ Nov the month or what.

kra-z-k Think NOT. Im not pregnant,so speak for yourself. So your due in Oct. should be an interesting delivery. I'll get science magizine to cover it!!No wonder you are still looking for a party buddy.

Sorry!!! Kra-Z-K did not realize you were replying to Philly todd. Thought you were getting off base with your response to me. I will call off science mag.Enjoy your drinking Buddy!!It turns out your reply follwed my reply by seconds--oh well.

LOL!!! wow, when I read the first one I was shocked! and I was like "looking for a party buddy??" I have party buddies, just saying I'd be good company for her since I am not into drinking too often lately. By the way... I am NOT pregnant! So lets avoid that from becoming a rumor! I was saying everyone I know is 3 months pregnant so it was funny his wife is too!!

I know about 4 other couples who are 3 months pregnant.. I'd blame it on Portland's rain.. but it was a beautiful fall.. not sure what's causing it.

I'll keep the horny monkey in mind for the ball and chain... as for drinking buddy... keep your eyes out for me.. I'm tall, rugged, and extremely good looking, and get better looking the more everyone drinks

Come to think of it... I know quite a few who are 3 months pregnant as well... this must be the year for babies! Congrats to you all (pregnant people).

lol! cute!

I know a coupel who are about 4 months pregnant. Close enough.

yes so weird, no one back home was ever pregnant and 3 people back home are 3-4 months pregnant and 3 friends here. funny thing.

as far as a a drinking buddy I am out but you also said you were looking for a dive buddy, I am a solo diver at Amigos.

I'm hating the idea I am the one to let you all know this but I'm pretty sure Carnival is Feb 23-28...that's what my calendar shows at least. I always thought it ended on Fat Tues (day b4 Ash Wednes) ~ maybe I'm wrong??
Anyways, it's a lot of fun but be prepared to get painted! We hung out at the town square and watched the kids. Misssed the parade but heard it was great (it was Sun afternoon).

My wife and me will be there from 2/4 till 2/11. Staying at Banana Beach. First time for us in AC and we are really pumped about it. A party to meet people from this MB sounds great. I'll join in with everyone else and ask....when and where?

BC's Feb 6th, message board party. 1 hour before sunset. Be there.

Kra-Z-K, How am I supposed to by you a drink at Cholo's if you don't drink anymore? Does anyone at Cholo's even know how to make a virgin drink?

Hmm, how to make a virgin drink?

That's not anything like leading a horse to water, is it?

LOL..Seashell...LOL I could answer that, but WON'T.

Sunsets do come a tad early in Belize, for real.

A drink does not have to be alcoholic for one. Two, I wrote "not TOO into drinking lately." What I ment by this is I have not been drinking lately and when I do, I have just one or two. Though I did mention on a thread to another that usuallywhen I do drink I drink A LOT and am out until 5am.

Actually, I am going out tonight and will have a drink or two.

and lol, no, Chloes does not know virgin drinks. I asked for a Coke light and Rum with LIGHT on the rum. He poured rum nearly to the top and splashed in the coke. But I love them there.

Kra Z K, this much Chloe does know is true.......
(finish the sentence)

I am sorry, I made a typo. I ment Cholos.

Seashell, about the only sure way I know of to make a virgin drink would be to keep her out in the hot sun long enough........... But then it's been a long time since I had much expirence with virgins.

Keep who out in the sun long enough?

a virgin......see then she gets thirsty...and drinks.

Kra-z-k that's how they make my drinks at Cholo's............fill the glass within a half inch of the brim with rum, then add the mix. Oh & I was refering to Seashell's question as to how to make a virgin drink.

Virgins drink they just don't...well you know...umm well....john in denver see you at the party on the 6th at B.C.'s Can't wait8 days and a wake up!!
