You Better Belize It!
This post is originally from February 24, 2023 Yesterday we sadly bid farewell to Guatemala. I can’t stress enough how friendly and inviting the people are. It’s such a gorgeous country with so much to see, but as one of my friend’s always says ‘people make the world beautiful’, and it can’t more true in…

Guat’s Up Tikal, Guatever Flores!

Off to Central America
This post is originally from January 28, 2013 Hey Everyone, Well, it is that time again. Time when the excitement of Christmas and holidays have worn off. When icy roads and bundling up becomes old news. And when all my scrimping and saving has come together and I am lucky enough to head somewhere warm…
