18.) AN ALL-INCLUSIVE PRIVATE ISLAND VACATION IN BELIZE
My husband and I love to take trips that not many people have taken or at least people we know have taken. Plus, we like small hotels and resorts. We enjoy the privacy, intimacy, quiet, and okay, I’ll say it, the attention we get when there are only say 10 rooms and a guest-to-staff ration definitely in our favor! Combine this with the fact that my triathlete husband loves a beach vacation and Cayo Espanto, a private island off the coast of Belize, certainly met our needs. This gem is an all-inclusive luxury resort that truly caters to your every whim and only has 7 villas on 4 acres. While it was a WOW vacation, it will be remembered for more than it’s many attributes…

This part of Belize is one of the best places to get a saltwater “Grand Slam”: bonefish; permit; and tarpon in one day. The flats are extensive and the lodge is well located so you don’t have to travel far to be on the fish, although they go on endlessly north to the border with Mexico.
20.) Two tasty lunch options in San Pedro Belize
People are always looking for reasonably priced good food options and there are many San Pedro Belize restaurants that fit the bill.

They also share something else in common, they are both just off the beaten path and that makes it feel like you are enjoying a nice secret tropical getaway.
21.) Living with Diabetes in Belize
My name is Jessica August, I am 25 years old and live in Belize, which is located between Mexico and Guatemala. Even though Guatemala lays claim over Belize, we are an independent country since 1981. It is the only English-speaking country within Central America. Eventually I’d like to pursue university studies, but I’m presently volunteering as a youth coordinator for the Belize Diabetes Association. This gave me the opportunity to officially represent and participate in the young leaders program held in Australia last year November 2013.
