April Blogging A to Z Challenge 2026: V is for Vacation in Belize

 After spending over 30 days in Belize would I recommend Belize for a vacation? Absolutely. So much to do in Belize from visiting Maya temples, jungles, mountains, lagoons, the Caribbean, cities, towns and villages. The people are friendly, English is the official language, different cultures, good food, nature, fishing, boating, diving, scuba, snorkeling, zip lining, kayaking, rafting, hiking, relaxing the list of things to do is almost endless. Not a place for being in a rush as things are done in Belizean time. 

The friends I made was worth the trip alone. The adventures I had will last a lifetime. After a year I still speak fondly of the trip.
