Can I Do THIS???

  • I've booked it.
  • It's paid for.
  • There's no turning back...

I've snorkeled in some of the most beautiful places in the world - Hanauma Bay (Hawaii), the Virgin Islands and Cancun - but the second largest barrier reef in the world is off the coast of Belize and I'll be visiting there in December along with family and friends. So, while my sister-in-law stays aboard ship and is pampered in the SPA, my little brother and I are going to snorkel with Rays and Nurse Sharks. One of our stops is the barrier reef, but the second stop is called Shark/Ray Alley. According to the website, when you approach the Caye, they hear the sound of the boat motor and immediately come to the boat - because they know they'll get fed. We're each handed a supply of sardines and sent overboard.

So, we'll see - come Tuesday, December 5th - if I can climb into the water amidst Nurse Sharks and Sting Rays.

Have that water camera ready!!!

It was one of the most incredible things I've done in my life and I would do it again in a HEARTBEAT! In fact, would you just take me with you?? I'll hold your hand when you jump out of the boat!

Actually Becky - my dear husband is not going on this cruise - because he chose to go to Florida 4 weeks earlier to play baseball with his beer drinking buddies (you don't want to get me started). So.....I'm looking for a traveling companion. There are 9 of us going - 9 - yes, I'm the odd one out.

So, you think Adam would mind staying home in the dead of winter with two children while his wife cavorted around the Caribbean???
