The flight out - there isn't much to talk about there. It was a plane ride. And once I realised we were close to Belize I had already missed the view of Cancun and Cozumel. According to my mom, on her side of the plane they could see the Keys and Cuba.
We were met promptly at the airport by our driver, Pedro. He brought us to the office of Discovery Belize so we could get our itinerary and vouchers. I have to say in those first few minutes I was a little hesitant at what we had gotten ourselves into.
From there we went to the Radisson. The drive along the way ws shocking at times - the poverty level in prevalent at every turn. Upon arriving at the hotel Pedro explained to us where our restaurant for the evening was located and noted that we should not go walking around after dark. At that he left us to check in, get settled, and prepare to get going on our tour the next day.
We were FAMISHED! So after checking in - lunch was top priority. After lunch we walked around the area a bit. Not too much to see. But it was warm and the smell of the salt air in fron the marina was enough to get the holiday off to a good start.
