Why I Chose Belize
By Margot Brown
It had been more than 19 years since I had been to Belize. Back then it was a two-night stay as I traveled with my husband and four of his buddies. We hired a local to boat us to Ambergris Caye. Arriving late at night, we went directly to a restaurant that had white sandy floors, excellent jerk chicken, and watermelon juice. Instead of doors separating the bar from the restaurant—there were colored beads hanging from the ceiling. I never forgot it and it spoke to me over the years, so much so that we recently decided to go back and investigate if it was as beautiful as we remembered.
We flew by Tropic Air to San Pedro on the island of Ambergris Caye to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary. It wasn’t just our means of arrival that had improved—we stayed at Victoria House, a five-star luxury hotel on the outskirts of town. I felt like I was in one of those television ads, looking out at the azure water surrounded by white sand.
The biggest eye opener was when we went into the town of San Pedro to discover the streets were paved with cobblestones. Lots of golf carts and taxi vans. My, how things had changed! Wonderful shops and restaurants.
I couldn’t get over how “busy” Ambergris had become. It may not be as quiet as I remember, but now there are plenty of activities (diving, snorkeling, fishing, cave tubing, Mayan ruins to explore) to keep you occupied.
I noticed that everyone was smiling all the time. Babies smiled, old men smiled, and beautiful women smiled. I found my cheeks hurting because I had started smiling non-stop. It is heaven on earth here—peace and love and good vibrations.
We loved the diversity of people and cultures throughout the island. Our fancy hotel was about an hour’s walk from downtown, and we liked to walk there and back every day to get our exercise. Something happened to us on those walks that sums up Belize for me.
After a few days, people kept stopping to offer us a ride. First a beautiful mocha-skinned Belizian man with his daughter stopped for us. We thanked him for his offer but told him that we were walking for the exercise. He nodded, smiled and drove off. Then, 15 minutes later, a blond expat woman stopped on her golf cart and made the same offer—and happily left with our same reply. A little while later, a strikingly handsome dark-skinned Jamaican man stopped his golf cart and asked us, ”Would you like a ride?” What a treat! Three locals within an hour offering two strangers a ride to town. That’s Belize—beautiful people and a beautiful place. END

Who do you think the strikingly handsome dark-skinned Jamaican man is ?????? Moses ……Robert , Naaaa-well maybe.

We know it was a matter of time, before; all these great Real Estate deals will eventually be scooped up. This owner is off to a pretty good start, they could not have had better timing San Pedro Commercial Real Estate is a terrific asset to have in your investment portfolio. Congrats !
NOW is the time to buy and build. Building prices have come WAY down, materials are much cheaper because there is less of a demand. Labor is much cheaper and easier to find these days, Tina and I are tempted to start another project. Anyone that has money knows , you make your money on the buying not the selling. Negotiating terms and prices are easier now then they will be in six months.
The economy seems to be turning around, we can feel it here in San Pedro, but it is subtle. The MLS Ambergris Caye has seen an increase in sales. I think we will start to see much more construction in the next 6 months. Take advantage of the discounted prices while you can this won’t last much longer .
The girls playing a practical trick on ME kids are wicked. Samantha and her partner in crime Blanca decide to have fun behind my back !
They ask if they can practice with my camera and instructed me to smile, look at the picture below (she got me).
I was wondering what the heck she was doing, almost spilled the beans. Blanca could barely hold it in-LOOK at her face .
SAMANTHA, you little goof ball. Make fun of me in front of EVERYONE ! YOUR PUNISHED-NO more singing “its a small world” on Karaoke Nights or with the band.
(The kids of S.P. always can use school supplies for Roman Catholic School, e-mail for details)
It was below 60 degrees and my buddy is getting ready to brave the cold, nice hat !
Look what Robert’s got for lunch on Wednesday. When I am in the area its nice to catch up with my old buddy .
Ra safari Bar is located at the end of San Pedro in Club Caribbean . Stop by and see him you can’t miss him,tell him Tim and Tina sent ya!
Been living here in Belize for a long time,………….. and I still don’t see the attraction. Do you THINK he had a bad experience with a Dog ? Haahaa
Coconut Leo one of the interesting characters you will hopefully see while here. If you are looking for him , look up he spends most his time in trees.
Thanks Leo for always giving us a laugh, now let me get you a beer . Cheers Leo

Another Caribbean Christmas in Belize , many parties and dinners . Christmas is not commercialized like it is in states and other places . NO Walmart , Target or shopping malls here, Holidays in Belize are all about family and friends ! (Picture of Christmas tree in town center , Thanks to Barry Bowen )
Foxy is better in time for Christmas (tick fever) .
She had all the signs of tick fever, but; the seizures threw us off . Very Thankful to have Foxy back , we came terribly close to losing her . Glad we gave her the medication as extra precaution ! Thanks everyone for the suggestions and well wishing .
We had a wonderful dinner at the Gibsons , Ken does amazing with that grill ! THANKS xx
Frank in the white t-shirt telling us about the crazy day he had . Matt and I enjoying Frank’s sense of humor , as he describes it . We think Frank has caught the Belize BUG , he has canceled his plans to return to the Northeast 3 times . Chances are pretty good Frank will become an island resident , he just doesn’t know it yet . We think Frank will fit in FINE .
The Gals up their belting out Christmas carols (Road Kill bar)
Crazy Canucks was jamming
Warumguma’s restaurant for pupusas ($1.25 U.S.) is always a treat .
After the nightlife , we can be seen enjoying a walk threw town tasting different local foods . We should have bought more for breakfast the next morning .
Happy ” Boxing Day” everyone , rest up for next year !

Going threw my e-mail and look who’s article I see, in the prestigious Island’s Magazine . Hope you enjoy it as much as I did, very nice Ann. Mike and Ann have been neighbors of ours , we see one another either, by the beach or passing in their racy golf cart. Way to go …………..
Trading my Mustang for a Golf Cart in Belize -, by(Islands Magazine), authored By “Ann Kuffner”
Ann Kuffner first visited Belize in 1999 with her husband, Mike. From that point on, she says, they were hooked. They invested in property in the little town of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, where Mike, a contractor, designed and built a home. They haven’t looked back. Now living happily on the island full-time, Ann and Mike keep busy (as busy as they want, anyhow) with several successful business ventures.
“I’m content with my day-to-day life in Belize” says Ann. “I can swim every day or walk the beach with my dogs. We have a full, active social life, and I’m developing skills in new and interesting professional areas. We have made many friends here in San Pedro.”
