Made Our Reservations On Tropic Air

To make our trip to Phillip W. Goldson International Airport, as easy as possible, yesterday I made reservations with Tropic Air to fly from Corozal to Belize City. The route goes from here to San Pedro, then to Belize City and the IAP.

We'll have Cody take us to the airport, although we could just as easily walk, except we'd be all sweaty for the flight. That wouldn't be proper.

We have to be at the Corozal airstrip at 11AM, the plane leaves at 11:30AM, arrives at San Pedro at 12PM, then we arrive at PW Goldson IAP at 12:30PM. Our flight to Dallas-Ft. Worth departs at 3:55PM. RON (rest overnight) at DFW - we made reservations at an airport hotel, we'll fly out to Seatac at 7:30AM on the 13th. We should be in Olympia by 11:30AM.

Corozal International Airport...

Well, it's the Corozal Airport anyway. It's served by two regional airlines -

Maya Island Air, and

Tropic Air

Some photos of the main runway... Sorry, the only runway. It's in operation during daylight hours only - roughly 6am to 6pm.

Dennis Arriving

Anyone coming to visit us or Corozal in general, save yourself some road stress and a couple of hours by taking Maya or Tropic from Belize City to Corozal. You'll have to detour to San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, but that's momentary. Total flight time is a little over 20 minutes. We can walk to the airport from our rental, and from the property, it's not even 5 minutes - also walkable.

Dianna, Dennis, and Elsie

Here's Dianna, Dennis, and Elsie on the runway at Corozal Airport. We're seeing them off as they take the first flight of the day enroute to Caye Caulker and some diving.

Dennis and Elsie

Dennis and Elsie enjoying the busy airport atmosphere, and looking forward to some great diving and... sailing too. They jumped to sail with Ragga Muffin Tours (http://www.raggamuffintours.com/),

Ragamuffin Tours

and did a three-day, two-night voyage with them to cap off the time Dennis had in Belize. RaggaMuffin Tours sounds a lot like Windjammer Cruises, just smaller, but with the same adventuresome spirit.

Elsie came back to Corozal, checked out of her apartment at Copa Banana, gave us a bunch of left over household supplies from her four-month stay here, and is currently enroute by bus to Guatemala and Honduras.
