I have been reporting on a lot of ice fishing and other cold water pursuits lately, and it makes me think of warmer climates and particularly the trip planned to Belize this coming May.

This will be the third time that my wife Eileen and I have hosted a trip to Ambergris Caye and each one has been wonderful. Everyone that has gone on these trips has loved the resort and found the fishing fantastic. There is nothing like talking to an angler that has just landed their first bonefish, permit or tarpon. It is so exciting.

They also love the snorkeling trip that we now do in the middle of the week, and rave about the shore lunch of snapper and lobster. They also like the fact that there is plenty of free time during the trip to explore the restaurants, San Pedro town, and just walking the beaches.

If this sounds like fun to you and would like to learn more, just call my travel partners at Journey Travel and Tours. Call before Feb. 5 to take advantage of group air fares. You can reach their office in Wenatchee at 509-662-7775, and ask for Sandy.
