      • Orange Walk
        03/28/12
        We arrived in Orange Walk on Monday, a little creeped out. The bus stop in Belize City was very run down and the buses were just old school buses. Not at all what we were expecting. The bus was so crowded that the isle was filled with people standing.

        We arrived in Orange Walk after

      • Trip to the Great Blue Hole
        03/25/12
        Caye Caulker is definitely more laid back feeling than San Pedro. The roads aren't paved and there were basically only gold carts and bicycles, no cars. We found a hotel then tried to figure out what scuba companies were going to the Blue Hole the next day. We found a company and got all set

      • Windsurfing and Diving
        03/23/12
        Since we couldn't go diving for a few days because of the wind, Joe decided to go windsurfing. There were a couple places within walking distance to rent a windsurfer from, so we headed there. He ended up going for it and was pretty warn out by the end, but did a good job. We came back a cou

      • San Pedro Weather
        03/21/12
        The weather hasn't been cooperating with is. We were supposed to go on a dive on Tuesday, but when we checked with the dive shop they said it was too rough to go out. It would be dangerous. The wind has been just crazy. You can see the waves of the reef from shore. They're huge!

      • Off to Belize
        03/20/12
        The next morning we really needed to figure out laundry. Our next plan was to head to San Pedro on Ambergris Caye in Belize and we had no idea what to expect, so while we were in a large city, we figured we would get it done there. Well, Joe was sick, so he stayed in the hotel to sleep while I wen

      • Chetumal
        03/17/12
        We had a relatively boring day today. After finding breakfast, we hung out in the room and got some work done in the lobby since we finally figured out how to get the internet to work (put in the right password, dummy).

        The bus to Chetumal left at 2:45, our check out time was 1. Once we

        03/16/12
        Today was a busy day. Apparently "el Presidente" was passing through Coba today. From what we gathered, he's like a governer of a state. That was a big deal, so streets were blocked off and there were a lot of police around.

        Right after breakfast, we found a taxi to br

      • Coba
        03/15/12
        Today was a busy day. We went to a cafe for breakfast at 8 then found out when the bus left for Coba. We hopped on the bus for the 50 minute trip at 10am. Upon arriving, we had a small lunch and found a hotel. Unfortunately, it's relatively expensive, but it's still not too bad. The r

      • Grand Cenote
        03/14/12
        Today was a relatively lazy day. We did find out that most places for breakfast don't open until 8, so tomorrow we'll have to wait around for at least an hour before breakfast. :)

        After eating, we rented a bike and headed down the road, about 3.7km to the Grand Cenote. It'

      • Tulum
        03/13/12
        The twilight and night dives went really well. It was just us and a father and son. The dive master we had was the same one we dived with the first time we went. It was fun to have someone we already knew. We didn't see anything too different or amazing. Lots of lobster and the bioluminesc

      • SCUBA
        03/11/12
        Yesterday morning we had a scheduled dive at 9am. It was two dives with an hour between. The first spot was called Palancar Caves. The formations there were pretty neat. We went through some archways and through a cave where we saw a couple King Crabs. The second dive was more for seeing marine

      • Scooter Time
        03/09/12
        We've been going to bed early (especially for us) and getting up early. Today it was 7am. The cruise ships dock at around 9am so we wanted to get on the road before that. Our plan for the day was to rent a scooter and do the loop around the isle. We did so and it was pretty uneventful, but

      • Off to Cozumel
        03/08/12
        Bus to Playa del carmen, Quick and nice. Found a nice lunch place next to a forested area, the cafe had nicely built around some large tree trunks, so that they could continue growing above the roof. Miranda spotted an unknown large rodent of some kind.. grackles wandering around.

      • Cancun
        03/06/12
        We arrived in Mexico last night around 7:30pm, hopped on the bus to downtown and found our hostel without much trouble. From there we went out to find dinner, but by then it was already after 9. So, we just ate at the restaurant attached to the hostel. Unfortunately, it's looking like findin

      • Starting Another Trip
        03/03/12
        On Monday we leave for Mexico! We're flying down to Cancun. The plans are to stay there for a couple days then take a bus, then a ferry to Cozumel where we'll do some scuba diving. So, we'll start updating the blog regularly again. It will definitely be nice to be in some warmer w
