Day One. 12/8 Travel Day. well this was a grueling day. i set my alarm clocks (3 yes, gun shy) ranging from: 4a, 4:15am, 4:30AM... i had flights from Houston Hobby to DFW to Belize City to San Pedro BZ. i finally arrived at my hotel about 2pm. Tired, Hot, Hungry and and not my usual bright cheerful handsome self.... the desk clerk was gone. "out to lunch" so i sat in the shade and had my first meal cooling off while i waited. No Worries - i'm on vacation. I looked at 6 different rooms - always higher in price. (it's an ocean view. true if you stand on the balcony, crane your neck and look through there you can see a slice of blue) finally finding a nice room with an AC that works, a TV that works, and a small 'dorm room' refrigerator. two queen beds and a dresser for my shorts and swim trunks.
i was pretty tired about 7pm and thinking i might just stay in when the DRUMS begin to beat. it sounded like an entire New Orleans drum brigade marching down main street. i'm thinking it's a PARADE. so i grab my camera and run outside. nothing in the street, it's a Christmas boat parade behind the hotel. (why not shoot it from the balcony? ha) i ran down to the end of the pier. this loud music, boat horns, city park bands, general crazy Saturday night noise, firecrackers, barking dogs and car horns went on till after 11:30p when i finally fell asleep. ahhhhhhh a relaxing vacation! San Pedro, BZ an island paradise.....
They gave us each a cute little bag of nuts on the tiny plane across to the Island.
