A-Snorkeling We Will Go

Finally made a decision about our next trip.  We are going with Bill and Verda to Belize in March.  Belize has a lot to recommend it: they speak English, the second longest barrier reef in the world is there, the weather is mild (we're avoiding the hurricane months), and the main dish in Belize is my favorite - rice and beans!  The primary reason we chose to go to Belize, however, is the cost of the trip. We can fly round trip from Phoenix for under $400 each. That amount would barely purchase one ticket to Europe.  It's such a shame that airline travel has become prohibitively expensive for a lot of people.  My son and his wife were planning a trip to London for Christmas, but have switched destinations to Mexico because of the airfare.  Oh well, London's loss, Mexico's gain.
