Today is Wednesday 13 January 2010, and it is day five of the cruise.  Where are we on day five?  Would you believe Belize?  Yep, that’s right, we are in Belize and the sun is out and the temperature is starting to warm slightly.  We hope tomorrow, when we go to our NEXT stop, the temperature will be warm.

My wife, Diane, and I have spent several days in Belize before on our own and we traveled around the country in our rental car.  Since we have been here before, we decided not to do any of the tours and just spend time in town.  We had breakfast on the ship and left for the city on a water taxi.  Once in town, we acted like real tourists and took advantage of a horse and buggy city tour.  The fee was $15.00 dollars per person and being a cheap airline pilot, I told the tour guide that was too expensive and I offered him $10.00 per person.  No problem, he took the offer and off we went on the 45 minute tour.  We enjoyed the tour because the guide would explain different areas, buildings, bridges and history of the city.  That was information we would not have known on our own.  After the tour, we walked around the local vendors booths and checked out their goods.  Didn’t buy anything.  We did go to the pharmacy store and bought some cold medicine before leaving the city.  We got back on a water taxi, went back to the Dream and had lunch in the newly discovered eating area.

Late afternoon the Internet Marketers gathered at deck # 10 aft by the Sunset Bar and Pool for a group picture.  There are 420 IM’ers on board and many of us did make it to the location for the pictures wearing our Group T-shirt.  The information we received was this was the largest group photo shoot of guests the Carnival ever had.  We rock.  After the photo shoot, I was able to spend a few minutes with Mike Filsaime and received some priceless information on advancing my business and taking it to the next level.  He was also gracious enough to take a picture with me and also introduced me to Bob, The Teacher, Jenkins who also allowed me to take a picture with him.  Bob Jenkins is another important figure in the Internet Marketing arena and he shared valuable information with me as well.

Following the photo shoot, Diane and I went to an appreciation function sponsored by Carnival Cruise for being a previous guest on one of their cruises.  We had appetizers and drinks while listening to a band and was invited to a meal immediately following the function.  We bypassed the dinner because it was NOW time to have dinner with the Internet Marketers group.  It goes without saying, the dinner was excellent and everyone had a great time.  After dinner, I took a little ME time and enjoyed an hour of comedy show sponsored by Carnival Cruise Lines.

Until tomorrow
