Battle of the Drums, SERE, DEA & Drug Plane on Southern Highway
Before arriving Punta Gorda, our bus had an unexpected obstacle which prevented us from reaching our destination, unbelievably; a twin-engine plane was in the middle of the highway. As we were stopped by BDF soldiers, some people more surprised than others came out of the bus to get a better view. Only in Belize many said, which I know is false because it happens all over the world. Only in Belize will Drug smugglers have the balls to land a plane on a major highway, well that sounds more plausible. A lot of speculations have been made concerning the contents of the plane and most interesting but not surprising, the people that were found presumably associated with the incident were customs and police officers. Supposedly 80 bails of Cocaine were also found nearby, when I was in PG, I heard there were 94 bails, I hope the amount doesn't continue to deplete.

Top 12 Spots In Central America
I travelled Central America a couple years ago and it was a marvelous unforgettable experience which I can't find enough adjectives to fully describe but I'm absolutely sure I'll forever be thankful for. I did my travels smoothly thanks to the help of Lonely Planet's Central America on a Shoestring Travel Guide and with approximately $800.00 to $1000.00 US dollars. The article, Lonely Planet's Top 10 Spots in Central America is great but since not all the places that I personally loved the best are mentioned in the article, I owe it to myself and everyone to include two more locations which should have also been mentioned. These spots are Caye Caulker, Belize and San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. Thus, this post will be named Top 12 spots in Central America.

Happy New Year Belize. Maya Land Rights Victory 2010
Some people were not happy with this ruling because they say that it’s not fair to give preferential treatment to the Mayas. Can we really say that they are being given preferential treatment? We are all Belizeans no more than the other but one thing I learned about fairness and equality is that you must treat equal things equally and unequal things unequally. This means, you can’t compare someone who has traditionally grown up owning land collaboratively with someone like myself who grew up in a different system – We must treat unequally things unequally. There is also the claim that they aren’t from Belize, they are foreign Mayas. As far as I know, back then they weren’t any country boundaries. What is now called Belize was one entire land along with all of the Maya inhabited Mesoamerica and just because they went far north or west doesn’t mean they left. Even if that claim is plausible, they are descendants of the native Mayas and for this they should be respected.

Belize: Best Places to Retire Abroad
Squeezed between Mexico’s Yucatan coast and Guatemala to the south, sparsely populated Belize is a Central American paradise, with tropical jungle flora, endless white beaches, an aquamarine Caribbean sea, some of the world’s best reefs for snorkelers, fishing to die for, Mayan ruins, and even casinos.

Prediction time again..
It is not secret that Belize's strategic position as the bridge to North America has always been a prime location for drug smugglers as they move to their central locations in Northern Mexico. But as the US Govt. and Mexican Federales continue to crack down on the cartels, they are going to continue being pushed down more and more.. unfortunately resulting in Belize becoming one of their retreats. This is something that should already be on the discussion board for the GoB because when it hits, it will hit hard and 'silly' unprepared BDF or the Police won't be able to do anything! Just imagine, the US & MX Govt. can hardly put up a good fight with the Narcos, how will our untrained, unequipped officers?
The story of Belizean Independence is as colourful as the country itself, and it’s only fitting this time of year that we briefly recount the many steps leading up to Belize taking her place among the sovereign, independent nations of the world.
Friends at AmbergrisToday.com were tasked with following the
2011 Costa Maya pageant ladies 24/7 and came out with some pretty interesting
footage of their adventures in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye Belize. The video is
made up of a compilation of the highlights of the amazing weekend and luckily, they
agreed to feature the video on my blog.
This is an awesome video... I am Belize, you are Belize, He is Belize, She is Belize, We are all Belize.
Situated in the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, Victoria Peak is the second highest mountain in Belize and is within the world famous Maya Mountains. Hiking Victoria Peak is a not an easy task and through this post, Turtle Inn's human resources manager Kevin Quischan shares his experience.

How it works
Exceptional graduates from MatadorU's writing and photography programs will travel to Belize for multi-month assignments. There they’ll have all travel expenses paid, plus a salary, in order to establish themselves as writers/photographers in-residence.
Each participant will have an investigative focus area such as Mayan culture, music, diving, or environmental issues, and produce articles and multimedia both for BTB and across Matador channels, as well as for other media outlets.
