Opening my email a few weeks ago I found a very welcome surprise, an invitation from my Uncle Gary to join him and the amazing Pam 2 in Belize. A very welcome invitation, we were unsure if we’d be able to make it to the house he had rented. Belize might be more touristy than the rest of Central America, but we are still in Central America so transportation information is usually not trustworthy until verified independently by several sources. Finally it seemed like Belize might be do able so we hatched a plan to get there.

Made it out of DC saturday and spent all day sunday cleaning out our boxes and packing, re-packing and squeezing something in every last nook and cranny. Even my parents, who have moved half a dozen times in their lives, were impressed by our packing “skills”.

We’re back in the cold northeast. Just in time for a little snow later this week. Yay! (can you sense the sarcasm!)
Jamaica was a very necessary vacation. Ever have those days when it feels like you’re always running around and never get anything done? Well that’s been the last two months for me. Life has been chaotic with work, traveling and planning, so going to Jamaica was a light at the end of the tunnel!
