Everyone was so welcoming, the food was a delight and we looked forward to each morning!David was a great guide and companion on all our adventures and Karen did a great job planning out our days so that we got to do everything that we most wanted to do in this short time.

This was my second trip to Belize, and my second stay at the Jungle Dome! This time I brought the whole family, (two adults and 5 kids) and what a wonderful time we had!The resort is small, quiet and quaint, and situated in a perfect spot for reasonably quick access to all the jungle type tours. A perfect place to come "home" to after a day of touring.The rooms are very spacious and clean, the staff is super friendly, and the food is fantastic! Everything made from scratch and lots of it! My "kids", ages 15-29, are still talking about the food!Must do tours: The Black Hole drop, The ATM caving tour and the Cave tubing. Wouldn't recommend the Zipline. I didn't think it was good value for the money....but then if you've ever done the Zipline in Whistler, B.C., Canada, it's really hard to fin

A post-remembrance day windstorm has served as a reminder that the British Columbia winter storm season is underway, and residents should be prepared for future severe storms, the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) warns.
Roughly 90,000 B.C. Hydro customers were without power on Nov. 12, after the first windstorm of the season first made waves on the night of Nov. 11. The storm strengthened Nov. 12 and knocked down trees and hydro lines in its wake, CBC.ca reports.
At the height of the storm, roughly 196,000 customers were without power, a BC Hydro spokesperson told the CBC.ca. Many major ferry routes were cancelled during the storm.

I visited Vancouver British Columbia quite a few times but I never got the chance to go and explore and do any kayaking. I really wanted to get to go out kayaking. Kayaking in British Columbia is supposed to be utterly amazing. I want to get back out there someday and do some kayaking in a place where I could potentially be kayaking near Orcas.While I love Cape Cod it just isn't the great northwest. There is just something about being able to kayak alongside whales and in places where you could possibly see bears. There is a place called Johnstone Strait where there are 220 resident Orcas. In addition there are dolphins, sea lions, harbor seals, minke whales, eagles and black bears. I could take some amazing photos if I could get out that way. I'd love to do that someday, so I'm going to start saving for an expedition out to the northwest.I found this website called Spirit of the West Adventures. I was looking for different logos because David Airey is redesigning a logo for me for
BC photographer and author, Chris Harris, is launching his next book: Spirit in the Grass The Cariboo Chilcotin's Forgotten Landscape.The Cariboo Chilcotin grasslands are one of the ecological wonders of the world and British Columbia's most endangered ecosystem. It covers less than 1% of the province yet supports over 30% of its threatened or endangered plant and animal species.The book will be launched in Chris' home town of 100 Mile House on October 19th and then the promotional tour will move on to locations around BC.The travelling Grasslands Gala multimedia presentation will include slide-sound sequences in combination with stories behind the images and how they and the book were created. As a photographer, I will speak from the creative visual arts perspective rather than the science perspective. In this way I hope to provide a new and fresh avenue to appreciate our beautiful British Columbia grasslands.DetailsInside British Columbia - the blog.

We really don’t know where to begin! This is a holiday we will never forget!First it was so great to come and see our friend Karen! I loved seeing you in your Belize environment…this is truly your home. The Jungle Dome is beautiful and we couldn’t have imagined a greater place to stay in the Jungle.Wani, Nora & Tella are great cooks! We never left the table hungry and knowing this was our belated honeymoon…we got spoiled! Thanks for all the flowers and our heart cake ~ really so sweet.The ATM trip was amazing. 100% more than what we ever expected. Can’t even describe what you get to see. Tikal was also amazing. A long drive but more than worth it. Karen, Andy and Simone are great hosts. David showed us some excitement saving Max from an anteater (or other way around).The only bad thing about the Dome is having to leave it. Thanks for having us and we hope to be back! Panty rippers are delicious!Wade & Christina Lambe. British Columbia, Canada - Belize Feb 2007 Guest Comme
