Busy but fun!

We love to take action-packed vacations that make us feel like we need a vacation when we get back!! =D
The two nights in Caye Caulker should give us all the "down-time" we need! We can't wait! Thanks!!

Do you have plans to go to Hol Chan? It's pretty amazing.

That will probably be our snorkel day, or maybe one of our dive days if it's better to dive it than snorkel it. I am definitely planning on going to Hol Chan/Shark Ray Alley!

Lots of scuba folks, but not really necessary (fairly shallow).

Oh, good, it's some of the best snorkeling we've ever done - cool to see big rays and sea turtles.

We snorkeled it but I was longing to be diving - there are pass throughs and cuts that I would love to have checked out and there was a school of good-sized tarpon we could only look at from 20 or 30 feet above.
