Isotopes 1 Posted May 30, 2006 Cool. Belize is on my list of future vacation spots. That place looks nice, especially for the money. I think I might keep that house bookmarked. Let us know how it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulinstl 295 Posted May 30, 2006 Cayman Islands ealier this year, wasn't it? Now, Belize. Must be nice to have your MIL pay for your bills while you go on vacation after vacation. POW! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toro 1 Posted May 30, 2006 Cool. Belize is on my list of future vacation spots. That place looks nice, especially for the money. I think I might keep that house bookmarked. Let us know how it is. I will post pics with a full description. This is going to be my first big vacation where everything wasn't taken care of. Looks like the vacation itself will be around $1200 for both of us for the week, not including room/board/scuba/shopping. So even if we spend another 800 bucks, I figure 2000 for a week in our own house on an island in Belize is pretty damn good. Hell, if it's that good I might look into making a real estate investment on the island. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toro 1 Posted May 30, 2006 Cayman Islands ealier this year, wasn't it? St. Lucia. Later this year, we are also going to either do Cozumel or New York. We have been to New York but we had such a great time, we want to go back. Next year: Bahamas, Grand Cayman and maybe Turks and Caicos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mungwater 589 Posted May 30, 2006 Canary Islands are cool too, Greece, but I have to say the most beautiful island I've ever been to was the Island of Capri. My vacation this year consists of going to Boston catching two games, and getting drunk off my a$$. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hitfreak 0 Posted May 30, 2006 Well I guess the fecal taco airline is okay then. I flew on Taca several years ago... New clean planes, nothing to worry about Unless you don't like flying with a cage full of live chickens in the overhead luggage bins Seriously, one lady did have a cage with a rooster in it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mighty_thor 115 Posted May 30, 2006 i think july is in a rainy season. i was looking for a cheap destination for mid february next year. look forward to your report. let us know if there are any nightspots or restaurants on the island as well. I could spend a week on an isolated beach but the wife always wants at least a little shopping and dining out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
