The Belize Bucket List

I leave Belize 6 months from today.  It takes a few minutes for that idea to sink in.  I still remember seeing the Belize flag and hearing my name called just under two years ago at Flag Day.  My knees were shaking so bad that I stumbled into the wall as I was climbing the steps back to my seat.  Yet, despite how vivid that memory is, my time here is over 75% complete.  That thought freaks me out a little bit as well because I haven't done everything I wanted to do yet.

So, in order to make sure I don't miss anything I want to do because the time runs out, here is a list of the things I need to do before I leave Belize.  These are in no particular order:

• SCUBA dive with the whale sharks
• Caracol Mayan ruins
• Lamanai Mayan ruins
• (I should probably also make it to Altun Ha and Cahal Pech, but I won't cry if I don't go to these ruins)
• Visit the Toledo district
• Participate in La Ruta Maya (either as a paddler or a support team member)
• Belize zoo (can't believe I haven't done this yet)
• St. Herman's Cave
• ATM Cave
• Visit Cancun or other part of Mexican Riviera
• Visit one more Central American country (preferably Costa Rica)
• Turn 30!

There are a few more things that I am surely forgetting right now, but hopefully I can get all of this done in the next six months.
