Parade, Dining around and Chocolate!

-
Back again!  We left off after our relaxing Catamaran ride!  I had just enough time to head back to my room and get changed before the Sesame Street Parade!  Disney it isn't but it was still a nice parade and there were even kids picked who were staying on the property who got to participate!




I know my pictures are horrible - totally not up to my standard!  I didn't bring my usual camera - and this one just wasn't working well in the fading daylight!  Sorry about that!


















After the parade we were encouraged to "dine around" for dinner!  With so many restaurants on this property - to only try one for dinner would be a shame!  So we went to Soy, for Sushi appetizers - in the French Village!  Go figure!

 I don't have any pictures of our appetizers - but the sushi was fantastic.  No complaints! We actually all would have loved to have more, but alas, Paris was calling!


Next up was our main course at Le Petit Chateau!  

This was the restaurant inside, well part of it.  And initially we were planning to get main courses, but the appetizers here looked amazing!  So I ended up with a soup and some type of crab cake.  Everything here was great too!

 Now for dessert, we didn't get to another restaurant because there was a special Chocolate Party event for the agents!  As if any of us needed this!



There were some Chocolate Martini's as well!   There was a DJ and even a guy eating some fire!  

After all that excitement - it was time to head back to the room - but first a few of us stopped in at Club Liquid to take some pictures - believe it or not, it was still early!  I think maybe only 10:00 and the place was empty!  I'm not even sure if it was opened yet.




Looks like a nice club type place!   But then, time to go back for the night - an early wake up tomorrow - 5:45 am - breakfast!  Then off to Grenada!

You'd better Belize it!

That's right - Belize.  The first question so many people would ask was, where's Belize? They hadn't even heard of the country!  This was common I found because Belize was formerly known as British Honduras and didn't change it's name until 1973.  The second question I was asked was why do you want to go to Belize?  Belize suddenly began popping up to me in my obsessive travel research about two years ago.  I had been planning our second trip to Costa Rica and kept seeing great travel information about Belize and of course I wanted to see what was the big draw!  K and I have been to Mexico several times and had been to Costa Rica once previously and since I was planning our second trip to Costa Rica I kept Belize in the back of my mind for a future trip.  I started to do some research and found Belize has the second largest barrier reef in the world!  Now that's something!  Neither K nor I dive, but we both enjoy snorkeling so right there that was a great opp

San Pedro, hustle and bustle!

Ambergris Caye…it’s an interesting place to be! As I mentioned in some previous posts, we chose a resort to the north of the town of San Pedro. Portofino is only accessible by water taxi and it’s about a fifteen minute boat ride to get there. But when you get into the heart of the island the pace of life picks up. It’s still a sleepy island town by all means. But there’s much more hustle and bustle! The first thing we noticed was the primary means of transportation are golf carts. There’s a few taxi vans, but most people are driving golf carts. This is certainly unique! There’s a certain charm about this for sure. Our main reasons for going into town were to get to the dive shops, but that only brought us to the docks…to eat lunch and dinner once or twice and the obligatory souvenir shopping. We didn’t get a chance to really see any of the other hotels in the area. In my obsessive research before the trip, there were quite a few that looked nice, but now that I was there I

A Beautiful Morning

Imagine opening your eyes and seeing this.... Imagine that! I woke up early one morning and pulled back the cotton curtains to see if the sun had risen up above the sea yet, and this was what greeted me. I just had to grab my camera! I went out on our porch and sat there just in awe of the beauty of the place we were. How lucky we were to be here! How lucky to experience such beauty! I snapped a picture with my cell phone to send home to the kids. I wished they were here to share this moment with me. There were so many parts of this adventure that they would love, and yet so many parts that would be enjoyed so much more in a few more years. The timing just wasn’t quite right yet. I enjoyed this amazing sunrise alone…I didn’t wake up K yet. He wouldn’t quite appreciate the beauty of it the way I did. He was sound asleep still. He’d enjoy it in a picture. For me, my day was already perfect.
