Way back when this board first started I was "dream tripper." It was before Barb's Belize had even been born and I was just a regular travel agent in Woodstock NY who fell in love with Belize, started selling a lot of Belize to my off the beaten track clients, and answered questions about hotels, etc here. Moved to Texas, had another baby and decided to start my own "Belize only" travel business on my home computer and registered as Barbara K, not very creatively. Eventually I got booted off for promoting myself without paying for an ad (suggested/demanded by a 'certain hotelier' ;-) when I recommended Playdor over Coconuts). So I sent Marty a bunch of Belize pictures I had taken, and some words & ideas and got him to make me a website. The rest, as they say, is history! Been selling Belize only for 11 years now (and am now good friends with said hotelier!)
