Me and the kids will post a trip report soon. As a family i can say we were all wooed by AC. My son wants a vacation home there, my daughter fell in love with the overall friendliness and charm of the Belizeian children, my wife loved the laid back, no shoes atmosphere and I loved everything about the country. In my 43 years on this planet I can say I've never met a more friendly group of citizens than the people of Belize. I think if I had to put my finger on the allure of Belize it is in their people. Friendly, sincere, appreciative etc.,etc,etc.! Forget about the children, they warmed my heart so many times I cant tell. I also realized I cant change poverty with my token gifts. God, I wanted to help so many of those children, but after a period of time I began to realize the real problems of poverty and a third world country. But I was charmed by a boy i picked up hitching in Placencia on my way to fish.Ended up giving him seveal lures with a promise to bring my family and fish from his pier the next day. The kids were wonderful and enjoyed our visit, ended up leaving more lures and my fishing pole. Still feel a little sad I couldn't help more though. Stayed at the Mata Chica 7 days, the room was awesome, could eat off the floor every day after maid service. Restaurant was excellent, pricey with two kids and no childrens menu but the food and staff were wonderful. There are other reasons i wouldn't return to Mata but a return trip to AC is high on my entire family's list. The resort is beautiful and would recommend to all couples or families with unlimited budgets. I found it too expensive round trip to AC on the taxi. On vacation you want to go places on your time and trying to catch the Mata boat sometimes resulted in alot of standing around waiting. Parents with 11 and 13 year olds will understand. Next time well stay in town. The snorkeling, Lamania and Placencia were awesome, to a person we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Post a detailed report soon.
