Belize

(shameless post of a googled image of Blue Hole, Belize)

Well this years international trip is finally decided upon. I'm going to Belize. I'ts been a few months of babbling about all sorts of destinations. I've watched airfare and resort reservations go up in price and availability dissappear. Travel warning this...travel warning that - then there is this cusp where you start to realize availability and flights are vanishing overnight. That's when I finally jump. I guess I will always crave impulse of some sort to make the bigger decisions. But at any rate, I'm up for 4 nights in the jungles of the Cayo district-cave tubing, river kayaking, jungle trekking; and 4 nights at Ambergris Caye island drinking rum and swimming with sharks and stingrays - diving/snorkeling/kayaking the reef.

Next year, New Years into 2010, will be Iceland. I think I'll be ready to pass on an island trip to make way for fire and ice, spas, snowmobiling, northern lights, wine, and lobster!
