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!"
