Thursday, February 15: Home and Reflections

We had an uneventful flight home, arriving home about 2 AM on the 16th. The Delta lounge in Atlanta where we spent our 5 hour layover had a shower!

What would I have done differently?
First, cancel the rain. It was fine most of the time (And certainly far nicer than the extreme cold and oodles of snow we were getting back home), but it did hamper us quite a bit.
But of the things in my control...
We made the right decision getting the car for the first week, and we were happy not having the car in St. Ignaceo.
I would keep the first 3 stays roughly the same, but add a trip to Hopkins in the middle and skip Belize City, staying near the airport on the last day.
So..
1. Brucie's Cabin in the Community Baboon Sanctuary: 3 nights was perfect
2. Hopkins: 3-4 nights to give us enough time to snorkel, possibly spend more time seeing Frigate Bird Island, and getting a feel for the Garafina culture.  Preferably stay in a hut right on the beach.
3. Yaxche Jungle Camp--3-4 nights with the focus on doing caves.
4. Parrot Nest tree fort at Bullet Tree Falls: 3-4 nights would have been adequate, although a week was nice too
