Jan 24 Sat night...last night in the Cayes
Here we are , last day of our trip.
It was a good day, relaxing although a bit cloudy.
We plan to end our night with a beach bbq dinner of some sort, or a place called Habenero's, a fave haunt of Matt and Tracy.
Sorry the picture loading has failed, I plan to load a bunch when we get back on Monday. I won't tell Casey that, I am supposed to be hard at work on Monday, since he will be hard at work..ya right! Casey does not find this funny.....
It's been a fantastic trip, and very different from our first adventure.
We'll be having some sort of get together soon and can fill you in all the details.
ps - I know you will find this hard to believe, but hold your hats, it is TRUE - Casey has now read a total of three books, I did not make him either. Those are the first books he has read since I've known him and he claims the first books he has read since he was still a kid. He claims to not have read in school....:0

Jan 23 still on Caye Caulker
What can I say, we just finished breakfast, it's about 1100 am. Lobster burger, fry jacks, eggs, ham and salsa. Oh I forgot the refried beans. We found our new favorite place, Marin's on the beach. We decided to try lobster "burger" even though it was only 1030, they said they'd make it, it was $2.50 Canadian. Yummy!!!!
We've had many, many days (I've lost count) of beautiful sunny days spent in the water, hammock, water, beach, hammock and so on. It has been very relaxing to say the least...
Last night we went out for dinner but before had many, many drinks with our new friends Stephanie and Sean (from BC). Let's just say 7 beers in one hour = getting a major buzz on. They had just gotten back from an all day snorkel tour and had spent the last hour drinking alot of rum. We took off to eat and came back at 800, they were done! We got them out of bed and decided we'd had enough too. Walked home and crashed by 830.
Today is a bit cloudy, we've got 2 new books to read. This is good since Casey has again found that he does like reading more than the business section of the Calgary Herald or nfl.com
Headliner - Casey has read 2 books without any coercing. He has I believe actually enjoyed it!!!
Expect alot of grumbling about us returning to reality when we get back. We will not enjoy cooking or doing laundry or household chores for that matter. Did I forget to mention we will not like wearing socks or shoes or shovelling snow.
Miss you all,
See you soon.

Jan 19 - last week
A picture perfect day here on Caye Caulker, Belize
blue skies, little breeze, blue waters and green palms everywhere
CAsey is diving the Blue Hole today, and 2 other dives. it will be a full day, just the ride to the Blue Hole is 2 hours alone.
I've spent the day with very leisurely activities.
Pedicure
Out for breakfast
Bike rental and crusing the island like the locals do, no direction or place in mind, just driving to the next place
Beer on the beach
Tanning
Hammock swinging
Cruising the shops to buy things I don't need and to drive Casey crazy :)
We met a very nice couple from Duncan BC and have been hanging out with them in the evenings. They have a nice cabana off the beach, and have made us dinner. It has been nice to have someone interesting and fun to hang out with and no pressure to do so, we're all here for the same reason: relax! Stephanie is a bit sunburned and staying in today, we'll drag her out tommorrow and get her caught up on the beer drinking.
5 work days left to be away, we are not wanting to return to Calgary let's just put it that way.
I see it's +8 there today but I've heard the weather has been freezing, which as you all know, exactly what you want to hear when you are away on vacation.
TTYL,
Stef

Jan 18 Caye Caulker
Hi there,
Thank you for the emails, I got a few! Whew, not forgotten...;)
We are still in CayeCaulker, we had our first sunny day today, our new friends Stephanie and Sean got a bit scorched but we did enjoy the day.
Casey booked his dive to the Blue Hole for tommorrow. Three tank dive, first stop, the Blue Hole and then 2 other dives which may seem less impressive than the Blue Hole, we'll see tommorrow when he gets back. He has to be at the dive shop at 530am, I'll be sleeping in thank you.
I'll be renting a bike, shopping and generally have a Stef day.
we do really love the island, chilled out but still alot of things to see, restaurants, small little shops and not too many tourists, In fact, it is pretty slow here but less people to fight for towel space, no waiting in lines, etc.
We found a cute guest house on the north back side of the island. Tonight was an amazing sunset. we are about 20 feet from the water. It's a great spot.

Trip over to Caye Caulker
Forgot to mention our "direct shuttle" from Tikal to Belize City was a shitty ride to say the least. Way too many stops, oversold bus, they almost lost our bags (which had our cameras). A 5 hour shuttle became about 8 hours, "Belize time". we landed in Belize City and caught the water taxi over to Caye Caulker. Other than the long, dragged out trip to CK, things have been relatively calm, travelwise.
Will try to load some photos in the next day or so.

Jan 17 Caye Caulker
We've been here for a few days now, they've been mostly rainy and windy. This morning we woke up to the sound of the wind and oh should i mention all the banging doors of the people in the rooms around us. Not like it's a pet peeve or anything but why the hell do people have to slam doors at 630 in the morning? Ear plugs here we come!
ok, back to the wind, woke up to the sound of the wind blowing over the water and sunshine. our new place (we moved from China Palace hotel) is right on the water, 10 feet away on the leeward side (backside) of the island. We've shopped around, Casey got his TV fix and now we hope to be spending our last week (yikes!) mostly outside enjoying the sun. We met a nice couple from Duncan, BC on our ferry ride over. They had us over for dinner and drinks last night. Thankfully, this guy loves to hunt, they live on a acreage and he has a charter fishing business. Many, many rums later we found our way back home at about 2 last night.
Haven't seen to many emails from y'all!! Where are my peeps? Hope you are all doing well and that there is someone , somewhere out there still thinking of Stef and Casey.
