I hope everyone had a wonderful New Years Day. It seems 2021 is picking up where 2020 left off. I try to look for the positive in everything and in 2020, I was able to get grounded, focused, and worked to get organized. I’m on my way with a great team in place to help. The start of 2021 has been a bit emotional. Toward the end of 2020, I lost my dog, Fetch. He was the best dog I have ever owned. I rescued him when I first moved to Belize in February of 2010. He always was happy…

Teaching and educating others about Belize is something I really enjoy doing. That is why I belong to a mentor group … to learn how better to help my RE/MAX and passive investor clients. Together, we go over “the clues in the news “ and dissect it to generate real-world actions we can take to help navigate this stormy ride called life. We also do quarterly meetups and weekly calls. I just returned for my first in-person meet up since the Create Your Future™ Goals Setting Retreat, which we do every year in January. Virtual meetings are okay, but it…
I’m sure you may have already heard, but I can finally say with full confidence that as of October 19, 2020, you are free and welcome to visit, look at properties, and explore the beautiful place I call home… Belize. Since reopening to international leisure travel, incoming flights have been at more than 80% capacity, filled with eager travelers who are ready to enjoy Belize even with the restrictions. While the number of COVID-19 cases continues to grow in Belize since the last update, as well as the deaths, they are still extremely low when compared to our neighbors…
September is festival time in Belize. In 1981, our young country established its independence, and each year we celebrate for the entire month of September. Normally there are beauty pageants, parades, parties, and celebrations; this year will be very different since we have that pesky COVID-19. Belize is known to be creative, and so we’ll have to see what activities they have planned. On September 2, 2020, we had a CAT 1 hurricane, Nana, hit land. She struck between Dangriga and Placencia, causing debris and fallen trees. For the most part, Nana was mild for a hurricane, and we faired well through…
Our last COVID-19 Update was on July 16, 2020 and Belize had 37 cases with 2 deaths due to the coronavirus. The Philip Goldson International Airport was to open August 15, 2020. The excitement was growing as the airport was opening and things seemed to be getting back to the “new normal” then the perfect storm happened. We had a few positive cases of the coronavirus. The cases were on repatriated flights back into Belize and those persons would go right into a 14-day quarantine. They were tested and if they were positive, then they were quarantined longer. People began…
