Leaving the comforts and complete laziness that surrounded my New York portion I set off to Miami to collect all the kids and head down to Belize. I'm not going to to a blow by blow because you can check out the 'whats up' section of their website and read the kids blog there. But the highlights.

Meeting all the kids in Miami was interesting. As with any new group there was a lot of awkward silence while I made a complete ass of myself. Arriving in Belize we met Mariann and jumped onto a tiny little plane out to Dangriga (from Belize city) and to our accomodations then over to Glovers atoll. The islands themselves were beautiful but my back hurt like crazy because of the psychotic boat drivers insistence of going flat out through solid swells with my at the bow. Nice work idiot. In our 8 days on the island the kids learnt to cook and clean - something most had NEVER done before. Yes I know. We spent a night on half moon caye and snorkeled the world famous Blue Hole which was Ammmmaaaazing. We got stuck on the island for an extra night because the lady who ran the island was completely freaking insane. Think old, senile, cracked out, leather skin, overweight and bikini clad and you get some idea of classyness of this lady. She told us that it was too rough and late to leave (after she had sent the boat away an hour early). Then she sent another group of people on a smaller boat back to the mainland... ok then. The staff at the island were awesome though and we all made the most.

Belize seemed pretty cool, not that we really experienced the real Belize though. I guess I'll have to go back. To check out more check out the website link on my face-crack aka facebook.

On to Costa Rica!
