Sarcasm. It seems to be something that you can catch in AC since many of the members of this board are infected. Take your anti-sarcasm pills while you are there and hopefully you won't turn into one of them.

Wow Lan, sarcasm and a straightforward mocking - tough day at the office?

soph, yes the ATM's & credit card machines are affected. I agree with Chris, bring more cash than usual & travelers checks. Lots of us had to borrow money while we were there. Thank goodness for trusting tourists!

We leaving TOMORROW! Have our extra travelers checks ready. I heard rumors of an electrical strike too- is that true?

We left yesterday on Continental, just a small delay. They had to hand write all boarding passes and baggage claims, then in Houston they were standing at the baggage area handing out boarding tickets for all continuing flights. Gift shops at the airport in Belize were only taking cash. Everyone loosing lots of money due to not being able to use credit cards.

I'm not ignorant, but perhaps I should've phrased my post differently, then I wouldn't have deserved a DUH. I thought that flights would still run but with delays. We all know that this has effects tourism and loss of money for many. I need to just get there and take my sarcasm pills!

Deleted while biting my tongue. Duh.

Go and ENJOY
I wish it was me going too this time....

I just got a call from American Airlines, they canceled my morning flight to Belize due to 'civil unrest', however, they put me on a flight that leaves 2 hours later.....hopefully I'll get there tomorrow!!!!!!

Continental's 1st flight to BZE was 14 minutes early this morning and are showing nothing unusual leaving from Houston tomorrow.
