Heading home

After a fabulous week or so in Belize and a wondeful 2 months traveling, it is time to go home.

I was going to fly out a little bit later but with this whole swine flu thing getting everyone pretty riled up i though i would leave asap. Yesterday I woke up in Placencia Belize at 5:45 in the morning ate some toast and since i couldn{t get a ride down town which is about a mile and half away i hopped on a bike with all my bags and rode off into the sunrise! I took a water taxi to a small town called Independence, Got a bus ( an old american school bus, which most of guatemala and belize use for the main transport) to Belize city wich was about 3 and half hours. At the belize city bus station i got to talking with this man. he was from guatemala but he was working illegally in the US for 2 years and he had just gotten deported. We catched until by bus came and he helped me find where i needed to go. I ended up giving him ten dollars ^to get home to livingston, Guatemala to his family and i hope thats what he actually used the money for he seemed like an honest guy. Anyway, back on another 3 and half hour school bus ride to the mexican border. The buses could not actually cross the border so I hopped off, payed my exit fee and walked right into mexico. The bordering town is called chetumal. not anything special as far as i could tell but i did not have alot of time to look around because i needed to make it to cancun by that night. I halied a cab and got a ride to the bus station. at first people were saying that there were no more buses to cancun that day, which would have been really bad because we were about 6 and half hours away and i needed to be at the airport the next morning at noon. BUT it just so happens that the last one was leaving only 30 minutes after i go in so i got some tacos and a coca cola and off i went AGAIN. This was a first class bus fortunetly i needed some thing a little more comfortable for the last long stretch. I got into Cancun at about 12:30...

Now after a good nights sleep and free breakfast from my hostal i just came down to probably the last internet cafe i will visit in a long time. Making sure the people are going to meet me at the airport was not a huge worry of mine but i thought it would be good to find out:) It is 10 now and at 11 i need to check out of my hostal, 11:30 get a shuttle top the airport and at 2:15 I fly home! I should be getting in to burlington, Vermont at 10:29 tonight and I so excited to go home!!

Watching movies, going to work, swimming in the rivers and lakes, seeing my friends, eating lots of food are all thing that i{ve been missing ttoooooo much. VT , cya soon!
