Here we go again! We are only a few hours away from boarding the plane for our return to Belize. Our suitcases have been packed, weighed, and repacked with loads lightened. If our bathroom scales are accurate we are each only ounces under the 50 lb limit for the checked baggage. Our carryons are almost as heavy. I won't be able to get mine in the overhead compartment. Fortunately, I won't have to do this as Lester takes care of the heavy stuff.

Lester has the yard and shrubs looking so nice it is almost a shame to leave. I have tidied up the inside of the house in order to avoid a scandal in case, as my daughter, Marla, said "my ship doesn't sail back home." I used to have a friend who pledged to spiffy up my house after I was gone and never tell about all the dust bunnies and uncleaned corners. She moved away some years ago and, now that I think about it, she was pretty much not speaking to me when she left. I guess that means she won't be coming back to keep that promise.

We'll be catching the 6:00 p.m. water taxi from Belize City to Caye Caulker tomorrow. After we get unpacked and settled in I'll report on any changes which might be of interest to you who have been there before. In the meantime, Love to you all from Diana and Lester!
