Belize by the Numbers

1 broken jet engine and

8 hours in Dulles airport led to

12 hours in Atlanta where

1 more time through airport security eventually led to

1 Jungle Bungalow lit by tiki torches and

1 cave with

2 species of bats

4 underground waterfalls and

1 twisted ankle but

0 poisonous snakes and

1 Jungle Treehouse with howler monkeys and

5 Mayan temples

187 stone steps

12 head-chopping stones

3 toucans

2 kinds of monkeys throwing nuts at us

1 all-night rainstorm

16 doses of immodium and a

35 minute boat ride in the rain led to

1 casita and

2 days of snorkeling on

1 amazing coral reef with

uncountable parrotfish, blue tang, angelfish, oh! and

2 enormous spotted eagle rays, don’t forget

2 ridiculous cow fish

2 cases of sunburn and

1 New Years party with

9 Garinagu musicians, including

4 drummers and

2 saxophones playing an

unknown (but suprising) number of Christmas carols and

1 rendition of “My Heart Will Go On” capped off by

8 minutes of fireworks and eventually sleep and more snorkeling and

1 extremely bumpy boat ride and an

8 passenger plane ride and

2 connecting flights with

3 free drinks

1 busted suitcase

2 happy healthy daughters driving around the airport

11 times waiting for us to return from a

7 day celebration of

25 years of marriage
