It was about a 20 minute flight and then we landed in San Pedro Town. We hopped on a water taxi for a 3 mile ride to our resort, Coco Beach. When we arrived, we were greeted by a woman with complimentary arrival drinks and then she took us to our room. The resort was beautiful and the pool was AMAZING. In fact, we spent most of our time at the pool, rather than the beach (the shoreline had lots of seaweed and wasn't ideal for swimming).
Our first day we relaxed at the pool. Later that night, we took a water taxi to the town of San Pedro for dinner and drinks and shopping. The second day we rented bikes and rode down to town to catch a boat to the tiny island of Caye Caulker for the day. Caye Caulker was much less touristy and much more quiet. We were able to walk around along the beach and even got to take a dip in the crystal clear blue/green water.

One night, we went to town to watch the "Chicken Drop". This was a weekly activity that drew a big crowd. They sold tickets for squares with numbers on them and wherever the chicken pooped, whoever held that ticket would win money. It was definitely entertaining but we didn't win!
We had dinner at a restaurant called Caliente's afterward and it was so delicious. Matt bought a Cuban cigar to smoke on our last night in Belize. We also got to see some pretty beautiful sunsets while we were there!
Finally, after six amazing days, our trip came to an end. We took a tiny plane from San Pedro to the International airport. I was lucky enough to get to ride in the co-pilot seat! It was so cool to see the pilot fly the plane right next to me!
After we landed at the International airport, we waited to board our plane to Houston. Apparently, Prince Harry landed at the airport while we were there! We were so lucky to be able to take this trip and also lucky to be able to see all of our friends while in Houston! Matt and I are ready to plan our next get-away...
