We left San Pedro in the morning and flew back to Belize City on the small plane. Our plane landed at the international airport, and after dropping off a few passengers and parcels, the same plane flew about 5 minutes to the municipal airport. We had a 2 hour layover here, and watched a soccer game with the Tropic Air staff while we waited to fly to Dangriga. Carrie and I had our one and possibly only chance to experience the \"jet set\" since we were the only passengers for the flight to Dangriga and had a private plane for the 20 minute flight to Dangriga. We were met by a vehicle for Hamanasi and traveled 45 minutes with other travelers who had just arrived to Belize to Hopkins. Hopkins is a coastal city south of Dangriga and has a predominantly Garifuna population, descendants of escaped and shipwrecked slaves from Africa. Hopkins is definitely a place where I could spend more time. Hamanasi is a beautiful resort with an emphasis on diving/snorkeling and inland adventures. It offers a good combination of activity and relaxation, and they have mastered the art of hospitality and cuisine. We had some of the best meals during our trip here, and we really enjoyed our beachfront room.
The trip planners at Adventure Life were very helpful and always replied to my inquiries right away. The excursions, accomodations, and local guides were excellent

Be sure to sign up for all the tours, otherwise you will be sitting on the boat since not all stops are moored at a dock. Some are anchored.

There were two best aspects to our trip:
1. The Adventure Life folks and the folks in Athens and Crete who supported our itinerary, guided us, and ran the cooking program were all superb.
2. Everything they all planned for us went without a hitch. When we needed a bit of help, they came through with really good answers.
We became aware of AL from a friend who had an excellent experience in a different location. So did we. We can recommend AL without reservation.

We have used AL for decades now to plan trips. Kassandra has been with us from the start and has never disappointed. She knows our family and our quirks and is always willing to fit the trip to us. This time we made her work for the booking because of family member schedules. It has all come together for a great Christmas gift for many families.
