Michael and I took a trip to Belize that I like to refer to as our Belizean Babymoon (last vacation before baby). I got a ton of strange looks being 33 weeks pregnant and traveling! To get to Belize, you just take a short 3 hour flight from Dallas to Belize, San Pedro, then another flight to the Ambergris Caye island, a short taxi ride from the airport to the boat dock and a 20 minute boat ride on the sea to the hotel! It was definitely an adventure!
There are so many pictures that I want to share, I decided to break it up into two parts. Below are pictures of us getting to the hotel and the hotel grounds, including our room. Enjoy!
*WARNING* Tons of pictures to follow!
Boarding pass for the flight to Ambergris Caye from San Pedro. If there aren’t enough people for a flight, they actually cancel it.

Umm…this plane is so small I can see the pilot and the cockpit. Michael and I were in the back row so these were all of the passengers.
Is this good idea???

This was the view from our balcony. The ocean is just over the building in front of us.

This was the restaurant on the property. They served breakfast, lunch and dinner. The best part was the dinner menu changed daily, so you could eat there more than once and get something completely different. Michael and I ate a few meals here and it was very good. The service was also excellent.

Tamra day dreaming about ice cream
The open area under the cone roof is the lobby and the bar is just to the left above the heads of the couple in the pool. I love coconut rum and I couldn’t have any fun tropical drinks! Ugh!
Palm tree on the beach
Beach lawn chairs
The bottom of the ocean was covered in this green grass. Needless to say, we didn’t swim in the ocean and I wasn’t prepared with water shoes.

Me at the end of the dock. The white caps in the far background is where the waves break on the barrier reef.
