Welcome to Belize City

We left Ambergris Caye for Belize City last Sunday at noon. It was one of those little puddle-jumpers with only 9 passengers. Another woman and I sat in the very back of the plane, and it was a bumpy flight (17 minutes). We enjoyed looking out at the turquoise water, pointing out sights to each other, until she suddenly covered her mouth, frantically scrabbled in the back of the seat ahead of her, and not finding what she was looking for, just as we were making a very sharp left turn to head toward the runway, she upchucked all over the place. Twice.

And since we were landing, it all ran toward the front of the plane. Surprisingly enough I didn't barf.

Because......







It smelled just like a fresh rum punch. Evidentally she drank her lunch just before she boarded the plane.

Any chance I get, as long as it's going somewhere warm!

I think that it pretty much ran down the aisle, and everyone could hear the poor woman, so it wasn't the most pleasant trip. And of course the door that was opened at Belize City was the one she was next to, not the one on my side as on the island.

So how about this ice storm? Is it bad over there? Sugar Grove Naval Station is actually closed tomorrow (Feb. 14)--I've never seen that happen before!
