LUST LIST - Day 1 - May 21, 2012
BELIZE
If you're like me, you enjoy the perk of a great vacation: a tan. So I'm gonna get very cliche and start my first post with a destination guaranteed to give you a nice tan.
Belize has been a dream of mine for awhile. Just know that if you want to experience the dry season you should plan your trip between February and May; However, I want to go in late March. March 20-21 Belizeans celebrate the Vernal Equinox and who doesn't love a party? (Did I mention coconuts and rum?)
Besides the party factor, you should probably have an adventure bone to really get into all there is to do in Belize. You can snorkel or dive basically around the entire island (I LOVE TURTLES!), best known for the protected reefs and Blue Hole, which is basically a giant sinkhole in the middle of the ocean. You can also zip-line through a rainforest and see (literally) 500 kinds of birds, explore underground caves and rivers, and go check out Mayan ruins and the REAL Mayan calendar, since the indigenous people of Belize were the ancient Maya.
A couple more thoughts on Belize - they are famous for a habanero hot sauce (yes please!). The Belizean dollar is worth HALF the US dollar, if you are wise you wont have to spend a ton of money! Fresh fruit stands and food stalls are in the town and available for your loungey leisure at the beach as well! Just throwing this out there...I heard MAYBE you should invest in a Malaria shot, there might be a couple mosquitoes on the island.
