Hey any of you old Message board visitors still coming to Marty's forum??? Been a long time since I visited San Pedro, but my memories are still alive and well. We did enjoy meeting up twice a year on our favorite island. Love you, Chloe/Lois Bican

The island and its characters are changing so much - but still some old timers left behind.

Thanks Amando, glad you are around. I am 86 now, therefore traveling is difficult. But love my great memories of 12 trips to Ambergris Belize.

The island moves with the times, it is a much faster pace in town now, traffic everywhere and bustle- but once you get out of town it is still peaceful and the reef and sea views are timeless. I am so glad you were able to visit and can now enjoy those treasured memories.

Thank you Amanda. Many of us sure loved and enjoyed traveling to Ambergris at the same time, from all over the US and Canada. Everything has its own time and place in life it seems. Keep the good vibe there.

Hey old timers ;-) I haven't logged on here in years. I first found Marty's forum back in 2000 - leading up to hurricane Keith who hit the island hard. My first visit was May 2001 and by that time I had met wonderful visitors and residents - some of whom I'm still in touch with (you know who you are). I am actually going to visit next month for the first time in 6 years. So much change over these decades. I just reread my travel journals for each visit (14 total). I'm starting to get excited.

Wishing you a great visit.

Hi Chloe! I still go at least once a year. I will be there August 20-28. I keep thinking I’ll grow tired of it but I never do.

Good afternoon all. While I am a relative newcomer to Ambergris, my wife first visited in '03 and '06 with her late husband. Fast forward and now we are married and she suggests taking her and my sons with their wives to Ambergris. Covid delayed that but wife and I managed to get over in March of '24. Bought some property up north and came back again in Oct of '24. This past March we were there and purchased a Casita across from X Tan Ha. Headed back over last part of July into Aug. Then again in mid Nov. Wish I had been here 30 years sooner. Waiting for our old pups to pass on before we move over. Hope we outlive them.

It sounds like you have found your perfect retirement spot! Welcome.

Wow if this isn't a blast from the past. Looks like the forum is a lot quieter than it used to be. Ambergris Caye was the first place I traveled to that I really fell in love with. I loved the quiet streets at that time, the fact that it was still a bit under the radar, and most of all, I love how it made me feel when I was there. I was obsessed with Belize for years, and spent almost all of my vacations there for a long time. Then I traveled more, the world opened up, and I found other places. A cousin of mine just got back from Belize, though staying in Placencia, and it put Belize back on my mind again. I'd like to go back to Ambergris Caye just to see all of the change, but I'd probably want to spend a lot more time on the mainland now. Hope everyone on the island is doing well.

Tap...Tap...Tap...Is this thing still on? Somehow by the grace of Chac I was able to remember the old AOL email that I started this silly account with and my 012345 password still works.

Yep, we are still around. just moving a little slower, maybe not having two scoops of ice cream from the ice cream parlor on Front Street but we are here.

I spent some time with some Changes In Latitudes "Repeat Offenders" (that is what Shuffles used to call regulars) and RDD over the Labor Day Weekend. Fun Times!

Update For Those Who Care - Mrs. Trumpet (Mary Louise Geranium) and I are back on the Isla de Manhattan in the Murray Hill Area.

So What Is Every One Else Up To? Sound Off..

And check out my new signature line....Hey KLCMan, did I do it right?

I am still here.... I think modern times have hit the message board hard- but I am sure with some concerted effort we can revive in the near future!

looks like the purrfektt sig, there Mr CBT!

As you know, this MB enabled us to recently refresh semi-forgotten events, thanks to the robust Search.

(I heard a rumor that AS was planning a MB reunion on AC and getting us el cheapo ( re: free) digs at BOTB!!

How did I fall into that one- LOL. wouldn't that be nice? Bananas on the Beach is totally revamped and definitely worth a visit. The old San Pedro we know and love has morphed, grown, expanded and developed- some good changes and some sad changes along the way.

I LOVE this website because it is a blast from the past- it holds memories that are near and dear to our hearts. Why don't you guys dig through your archives and add some photos and write some fun stories- we are losing our members one by one due to the winds of change and natural causes.... let's keep the past stories alive by posting.
