April Blogging A to Z Challenge 2026: T is for Transportation in Belize

 The forms of transportation I used in Belize was planes, boats, buses, taxis, vans, and borrowed vehicles. Not everyone in Belize owns a cars and where I spent the majority of the time golf carts were pretty common. Walking and bicycles was also a manner to get around.

I did ride a bus from Placencia to Belmopan which was an adventure. A bit cramp being 5'11 and over 200lbs. On the way back we had to be resourceful in get a taxi ride back. 

Most tourist tours provide transportation in vans! We were in a boat most days and I flew by small plane from Belize City to Placencia to and from my international flights.

Transportation was part of the adventure!

9/11/2001

Hard to believe it has been 14 years since the 9.11 terrorist attacks. When I first started blogging I wrote about the attacks each year for a while. I had hope to continue to do that each year. However, I slacked off or live got in the way a bit. It will always be a day that I will remember.

How could one forget four planes being hijacked and crashed? Who could forget the towers falling? Who could forget 2996 deaths? It is an event that should never be forgotten.

Here is a video. Warning skip if you don't want to see it again.

There are so many negatives about the attack. One positive was the attack brought the country together. Something that the country has same to be splitting apart lately. Perhaps it is a good thing to reflect back on what brought us together.

Please remember the victims, the volunteers, the firemen and police officers today. May we never have a tragedy like this again.
