The Plan

Finally! A Blog! I should probably go back to the beginning.... 
It was my graduation day from Cape Breton University. I was SO excited, I couldn't even sleep for the days leading up to it. All of my hard work and planning finally paid off. It was finally time to get in line and receive the papers.... boarding papers, that is. While everyone else in my class was happily attending the graduating ceremonies, I was miles above them eagerly flipping through guide books.

I had gone to Mexico some years before, and to the States numerous times, but this was my first time truly going on an adventure. Originally it was a planned school field trip, however, it had fallen through last minute and without giving it too much thought I had convinced Thomas to drop whatever it was he was doing and join me on the journey.

I had spent weeks looking into travel logistics, hostels, tours operators, and best-ofs. Whatever I didn't know, I was prepared to just wing once we got there. People travel everywhere, every day right? so I didn't think it we would encounter any major problems with this.

Once the plane landed we hit the ground running. We went from one end of the country to the other and back. There was cave tubing, jungle hikes, ruins, banana milkshake hour, beaches, swimming with sharks, and a side trip to Guatemala. Every aspect of the trip was perfect. When plans got messed up due to flooding and hurricanes, we did something different and had just as much fun!

It was two weeks of sensory overload, but more than that it was the start of a lifelong passion. I found that I quickly picked up the art of traveling. I had a strong desire to see everything that other countries had to offer and to return home to share my experiences with everyone I knew.

It was not going to end with Belize.
