Im sorry Michelle gave up on us due to crocodiles. Because we are probably mostly misfits, she might fit in. But, now that my first year living full time here is over, I must say it has been a challenge. Change is the challenge. Too much, over too short a time, can get you. Maybe she has never considered what she can't live without because she hasn't had to. The full emersion year has told me I like aquafit at the pool better than sandflies that bite me on the beach...still love to look at it from the house or Canucks. You can have granite, stainless, and a garbage disposal, but the cottage cheese is really what you thought was going to be sour cream once you got it home. It's to laugh...and cry...and laugh again. Just make sure to end up laughing. Maybe she would like St. Johns.

I think most anything would be better than Southern California at this point. And I was born there.

If you are not a fan of wildlife up close and in your face, Belize may not be the place for you. You will get regular visitors to your home and sometimes in your home - of every persuasion. Eight legs, four legs, two legs, winged etc etc. We're always having to clean bat poop off of our walls, escort tarantulas to places that are safe away from our dogs and rescue Cane toads from being licked to death since our dogs discovered their psychedelic secretions. The land crabs are huge and can be quite a challenge to wrangle.

One of the things that attracted us to Belize was the access to wildlife and we have not been disappointed.



Cane toads = frog legs!
Land Crabs = crab claws!

And yes, Cane toad legs can be eaten. The posion glands are near the mouth. The legs are skined and washed in salt water.

But my fear of Crocs is so bad, that finding out it was true they were there in Belize,


When FTWB and I started going to the Caribbean I told him that the first time I saw a shark, any kind of shark, in the water the same time I was there I was OUTTA THERE never to return!..............................The last time we were in Shark Ray Alley I stepped on one waiting to get back into the boat. At least that is what FTWB said. I said "WHERE" ? And stated looking for it to take it's picture. crazy

You can make fresh potato chips, you can buy reeses pieces, you can bring your pillows and you can buy a temper pedic mattress. Sheets and towels - well you need to import those too.
