Dec. 18 - Belize City

“Life's a journey, not a destination.” -Aerosmith 

We decided to fly into Belize a day ahead of when we were scheduled to arrive at the resort. A few others in our group did the same thing. Being retired gave us that option. Coming on Thursday instead of Friday also gave us more time to relax and saved us some money. The flight from Houston to Belize City was only two and a half hours and everything went smoothly, although customs were a bit more intense than other countries we’ve been to. We’ll fly down to Placencia tomorrow with Milly and her family and meet up with the rest of our group. 

We spent our first night in Belize at a cute little B&B called Villa Boscardi. Located between the airport and Belize City. We were joined by Milly and her family. What a fun and relaxing evening we had catching up and enjoying a meal overlooking the water. Milly and our oldest son Kyle have been friends since they were in kindergarten. Milly’s like a daughter to us and now we have two bonus grandchildren.  

Belize Immigrations checked our passports and embarkation information at three separate places...all within 30 yards of each other before we could exact the airport. Leaving the county was just as involved.

This is the first time we have had a car waiting for us. It was fun.

Our little inn was very nice. We had our ow little building by the pool.

The office and kitchen were in the main house along with several more roooms.

We spent the afternoon and evening at Smokeez Seaside Restaurant & Bar. It was about the only thing in the area.

We relaxed and enjoyed a local beer while we waited for Milly and Evan to arrive.

It was great too have Milly join us for this holiday trip.

Dinner at Smokeez.
