My family traveled to Belize during Christmas brea My family traveled to Belize during Christmas break. The country had just opened up for tourists in November, and it’s been a destination we’ve always wanted to visit for scuba diving.
I knew the travel days would be stressful and I’d need to keep my n-95 mask on the whole time. It was a risk we decided we were willing to take, and luckily all turned out well. 
I will be writing a blog post on travel to Ambergris Caye, Belize in the future. But I thought you’d enjoy some clips as you are thinking about your own trips for the future! These are shots of our arrival to the island. We loved it. More later! We stayed at @xanadu_island_resort and it was just perfect.
