1. Drink Bottled Cokes

Calling all fans of soda, pop, cola, or whatever you may call it, going to Belize without enjoying a ice cold, glass bottle of your favorite drink should be considered a crime. That's because these sodas are made with cane sugar versus the corn syrup recipe back home. It's a nice refreshing way to cool off while you're in the tropics. You'll also feel like you belong in a Coke commercial.

2. Snorkeling

Guys, I love the ocean. It's full of beautiful creatures and a great way to enjoy the is through snorkeling! Belize is home to the second largest coral reef. Which means lots of ocean life to enjoy. You can enjoy swimming with nurse sharks, sea turtles, sting rays, and a variety of fish. Just make sure to slather on the sunscreen; getting fried is not something I'd include on this list.

3. Fishing

So if you find yourself on the island of Ambergris Caye, you'll notice that fishing is a pretty big deal. It's the basis of the locals livelihood. And if you have never been fishing before, no sweat! The instructors will help guide you in order to reel in your catch. Who knows, you might even wind up with a barracuda on your line!

4. Eat authentic food

When in Belize, you must eat Belizean food. Trust me, you won't regret it! There is a great dish that even seafood haters will love. It's a wonderful chicken and rice dish called "stew chicken" that will have you licking your lips and begging for more.

5. Spend some time walking around

Haven't quite gotten your sea legs yet? No worries! There is plenty to see around the country of Belize, so take a day and enjoy touristy shops and sightseeing activities. Become acquainted with the culture. I personally enjoy looking at the different styles and colors of the buildings and comparing them with buildings back home, but there are plenty of ways to keep yourself entertained around Belize.

6. Take a ride in a tiny airplane

This could easily be really terrifying or really thrilling for you. From Belize City to the islands off of Belize, they have a small airplane service that has airplanes that can sit 14 people. That's right, you heard me, 14. If you're small, they'll even ask you to sit in the very back for weight distribution. If you can muster up the courage, It's actually a great way to see Belize. The visibility is greater and you can enjoy the view much better than a big jet.

Getting to travel to a foreign country is always a great experience. Belize is an amazing country filled with many wonders. If you ever get the opportunity to visit, definitely try and check off the things on this list!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
