Hi Everyone,
My name is Wendy and I am new to this forum.
Here's my story.......
Well it all started for me when I was a young teen growing up in British Columbia, Canada and not liking the cold much I took an interest to south eastern USA and the Caribbean. I love the beach, blue waters, sunsets and the warm climate.
By the time I was in my late 20's I had the opportunity to travel all the caribbean islands and fell in love with most all of them. I fell in love with the climate, beaches and the people. From that moment on I knew that I would be destined to move somewhere in the caribbean.
After much study (10 yrs) of Hawaii, Mexico and Central America I soon decided that Belize would be my destination. I thought for many reason's such as English speaking and most likely the next big tourist place to evolve. I purchased a 20 acre plot in the Belize District just 15 min walk to the Altun Ha Ruins. Good location, very nice village and a lot of tourist coming through everyday between the fly in's and the cruise ships.
Since the purchase of the property I have had many trips down but to the saddness of a two way ticket as I had to finish raising my kids before I could relocate and go back on a one way ticket.
Well that chore of getting the kids grown up, careers in place has come to an end. They are doing good and well on their way to a good life. So off I went and renovated the house and put it on the market for sale. Well after almost a year and half the house has not sold, not even an offer. The real estate market in BC came to a crashing end. So now after twice lowering the price to get it sold I am still stuck in Canada.
Today, I keep positive knowing that someday the house will sell and when happens I will purchase my one way ticket as I am so ready to go. In the meantime, I get down there as often as I can as I miss Belize,
Thats my story and I am sticking to it! I hope my dream and everyone else's all come true.
Cheers
Wendy
