We're here! And we can't wait for the rest of our wedding guests to show up. Here is the view from our room this morning:
Our trip went well for the most part. We had a snaffu with tickets for one of our friends but she will be coming today instead of coming with us yesturday. And Lylah did VERY well. She also got to sit in first class so she's already spoiled beyond belief.
Some tips for people also making the trip later this week:
1) The people offerring to check you in and carry your bags right outside of the customs check point are not needed. The Tropic Air and Maya Island Air check-in counters are literally on the other side of the door they are standing near. You will end up paying $2 a bag for nothing.
2) Buy a big bottle of water at Belize City Airport after you get to your gate. The tap water here seems fine and Erin and I have been drinking it without a problem so far but we would have liked to have had a bottle each after we got here, there isn't really a place to go buy one here that is nearby.
3) Pay attention to the pilot when you land in the small plane. The planes are more like Air Taxi's and you may be dropping off other people at a different stop than the one you want. The stop you want is Placencia.
4) There is free wifi here.
