Belize reminded me of something.
The places I remember most aren't necessarily the places with the fanciest hotel.
They're the places where I actually DID something.
I remember jumping into that Caribbean water.
Seeing the reef below us.
Sharks swimming around.
Stingrays cruising underneath.
Manatees showing up.
Driving around Ambergris Caye in a golf cart.
Stopping because something looked interesting.
Eating somewhere because somebody said, βYou gotta try this place.β
Getting dusty.
Getting hot.
Getting soaked.
Laughing our asses off.
THAT'S Belize.
It isn't a destination I think you should watch from your resort balcony.
Get out there.
Explore it.
Taste it.
Talk to people.
Get on the water.
Take the golf cart.
Take the boat.
Take the adventure.
Sometimes the best vacations aren't relaxing.
Sometimes they're the ones you come home from needing another vacation. ππ΄
And I'd do it all over again.
