Belize - the trip down and Belize City

Belize City

The trip down took 8 hours, and it wasn't so bad.  I got 7 different toys from the dollar store and one from New Seasons.  I had plastic lizards and bugs, a new doll, pattern picture flash cards, and an African animals and veterinarian set.  They worked well.  About once an hour I'd pull out a new toy and it would be new and interesting enough to keep you busy for 15 or 20 minutes

On the trip to Houston (the longest leg of the trip), you wanted to get up so we walked (you ran) up and down the aisle of the plane for about 45 minutes. 

When we got to the Belize International Airport, it was hot and humid and we were all in our jeans. 

In Belize City (for one night) we stayed at Hotel Mopan.  Our cab driver from the airport told us to be careful in Belize City because most of it is dangerous.  This is why he lives with his family outside of town.  The tour books and web sites had told me the same thing.  We were in down town, near the Tourist Village (I swear, that's what it's called) where the cruise ships bring their passengers.
