Our 2nd port of call: Belize!!
This island has about 20 other little islands that surround it. We took a water taxi to one of the two that are populated, Caye Caulker. We did snorkeling on this island but this time we got to swim SHARKS & STING RAYS!!! It was nerve raking at first but then it was just amazing that we were swimming them. We also snorkeled around the largest barrier reef. Our guide for this trip was a man by the name of (his island name) Harry Coconut! He took us to see the "split". Basically their island was split in half when hit by a hurricane. Now it's a hot spot for tourists!


This sting ray to the left was huge!! He looked like he was really old and had been sitting under the sand just waiting for us to come. Haha! The picture really doesn't do it justice.




















Harry Coconut! Respect!!
Our 3rd port of call: Roatan!!
What a beautiful island! It was mountainous and covered in green jungle. We went zip lining and had our own guide named Alonzo. He was great. He showed different things on the island including there first golf course ever, it was BEAUTIFUL! If we were to choose one island to come back to it would be Roatan. (a future golf and spa vacation). They have an airport that has flights that fly right from Florida and it's only about 2 hours.





This is our guide Alonzo. And behind us is the new golf course.
The Black Pearl



 Our last port: Cozumel!
We were able to rent scooters and ride around the whole island. We made some stops on the way for pictures and one last time for snorkeling!

Residency!

So we had match day for residency. We didn't get our first choice but I am so excited for what we did get. We are heading to INDIANA! It was a hard day on March 14, Ryan and I were basket cases but we made it through. This is a brand new program and I am so excited that they chose us to start it. I know Ryan and the other resident will do a great job of paving the way for future residents. We will have more coming!
