Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
Visiting Belize with my sisters was an unbelievable trip. It was a chance to explore a new place and grow our relationship. We had an amazing time diving and fishing. After a lot of discussion the only thing we decided we would have changed was how long we stayed. We needed an extra day after
On our last full day in Belize – after two full days of diving – we went sport fishing in the shallow crystal blue waters off of Ambergris Caye. I’m not a big fisherman but both Brooke and Emily are and they had hopes of catching a Grand Slam – bonefish, tarpon and permit all caught on the

Yes, a chocolate boutique, you read that right. Visiting the Belize Chocolate Company was kind of impromptu. We were exhausted but didn’t want to waste a minute of our time on the island.
