  COME AWAY TO BELIZE • Jerry Jeff Walker   (CHORUS) They say your heart never leaves Once you've been down to Belize!

Tuesday was our first port of call in Belize City, Belize.  We arranged for a barrier reef snorkel excursion through the ship.  We were to wait in the main theater until our trip was called to the tenders.  This port would be the only time during the trip we would tender into the mai…

  BELIZE - NO SHIRT, NO SHOES, NO PROBLEM   Belize is such a comfortable country, where “No shirt, no shoes, no problem” is not just a slogan; it’s a way of life. One of my favorite tunes pokes fun at us crazy Americans who go on vacation and decide to “buy a piece of heaven an…

  If you asked me to plan out the perfect day, I would repeat today over and over again.  Today was simply amazing.  We docked in Belize before sunrise and boarded and air conditioned bus that drove us out of Belize City.  The city itself is nothing to write about, the …

Belize was a tender port as Grand Cayman had been. But, Carnival Miracle anchored considerably father offshore this time. The tender took about 10 minutes to travel from the ship to the dock in Belize City. Here, we connected with our tour to the Mayan ruins at Xunantunich. This turned out to …

Today I set out on an excursion all by myself.  The rest of the group booked trips to go ziplining or snorkeling while I chose to visit Xunantunich, a local Mayan ruin site.  I had been looking forward to this for months!  I took the tender from the ship to the port, borded a bus and…

  On to country number 2: Belize. What a difference. Despite the fact that we are in LATIN America, Belize is an English speaking country. What? Yes, you heard me right, English speaking. Spain never had any particular interest in Belize, so the English who were very well represented in th…

Just on our way out of Belize city now. We headed back on the water taxi this morning. We were thinking about taking a day trip on a boat up to the reef, but decided against it in the end as we've got so much area to cover and just wanted to get on with our travelling! Also, Rusty's shoulders got&n…

Tropical Storm Arthur formed on Saturday May 31st, 2008 and made landfall in Northern Belize on the Yucatan Peninsula before becoming the first storm of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. The rains from tropical storm Arthur compounded the effects of tropical storm Alma which had developed in the Easte…

Carnival no longer offered the Shark Ray Alley snokle. After reading it was one of the best dive spots I wanted to see it. So I found a private  tour company owned by Americans, but run by locals in Belize, called Coral breeze Limited see www.coralbreezelimited.com. Our ship tendered off shore…

Peru, Ecuador, Galapagos Islands, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Belize, New York, Boston, Dartford!

There aren't too many pics to share for this day. The reality is that the city is extremely dangerous and poor and not a great site for taking pics. You don't want to look too much like a tourist walking in the city. We took the 2 hour bus ride into the city from Benque then decided to walk to t…

Pictures from the start of the tour to Altun Ha.  This is near Belize City as you enter the Belize River, headed to the Northern River and the Bomba Village. 

My mom, my sister and I met up in Belize for a week-long vacation. The tiny Central American country has a reputation for excellent natural preserves (both above and below the ocean), and fantastic Mayan cities. We were psyched for both! We flew in to Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport, the …
