Time to go home :(
Went to Ruby's again. Very nice morning. A bit overcast and cooler than it has been. Rained overnight. Can still see the rain off in the distance.
Michelle and I made the trip to the water taxi with a stack of bags. Then she went back to turn in the keys and get kids and last few bags.
The trip to San Pedro took about 1:20. This included a stop in Caye Caulker. It took the same amount of time as the express. It was a faster boat. So not sure the express is the best value.
Jason met us at the terminal and we had a nice scenic drive back to the airport. Drove past the Prime Minister's house. He had tons of good historic and cultural information. Saw some minonttes on the way.
Checked bags without too much trouble. Some guy in front of us tried to check a big stick (about 7 foot of stick). They would not take it and he could not carry it on. He had to ship it back. Some guy also packed a Belikian Beer in his bag. He then dropped his bag. Beer everywhere.
The exit tax was $130. Found out during Xray that conch shells are not permitted in carry ons. Had to do a quick additional bag to check and crossed our fingers. Got to passenger lounge. For 4 hour wait! We could have taken the 11:30 water taxi :(
Spoke with one of the chaperones of the education majors doing some work in San Pedro. Found out kids books have a life of about 30 days in San Pedro (weather and kids take a quick toll on the books).
Sat with Q, flight was uneventful.
LONG lines at immigration. The line, while long constantly moved. Customs was not bad. Some dumbass (had a wife and 2 kids in tow) was trying to argue with the customs official about something and held up our line. The guy eventually got moved over to 'the rooms'.
One mosquito bite the entire trip. Until we were outside waiting for SuperShuttle. Then I got 4 fire ant bites!. Traveling time was 10.5 hours. Should have taken Monday off.
Everyone watched then video from the trip before heading off to bed.
I'm sorry, I didn't ever see where you stayed? Did you like the hotel?

We stayed at the Sunbreeze, a very nice place.
The pool was excellent. We stayed in a little larger than normal room and it was very nice to have the extra room with 2 kids.
