The following will be blogs that we were required to send in to HQ periodically throughout the trip. I'll add in commentary and pictures as necessary. I'll do it in a couple of sessions so that you're not overwhelmed with fresh blog material.
We’re really excited that our trip is finally here! We just landed in Belize on a small 13 passenger airplane which had an awesome view of the Belizean coastline.. a few people even got to sit next to the pilot! Once we arrived in Placencia, we settled into our small cabins along the beach and enjoyed our hammocks beachside.
We’ve played lots of group games on the beach and have learned more about where everyone’s from by playing a game of ‘Map’. We’ve had a chance to sample a lot of local fruit and it is SPECTACULAR… we had the sweetest pineapple we’ve ever tasted today at lunch! This afternoon we did our grocery shop and we are soon heading to the sailboats where we will prepare to set sail tomorrow morning. We are all excited for our first overnight on the boats!
