At the end of 2016, we caught our breath at the Thatch Caye Resort in Belize. I’m not typically the resort tourist, but this place was relaxing and quiet, and just what was needed to finish the year.
I remember flying into Belize destination, Dangriga on a little prop plane. 
I was hesitant to visit my first island resort… a resort is not really my concept of an ideal vacation. 
But Thatch Cay was a small resort – we had possibly 16 fellow guests. 
We mostly went to relax and unwind after a busy year. 
And wanted to experience an over-water bungalow. 
They served fresh fish and made us feel welcome. 
Even the hermit crabs shared in our delight. 
There is something to be said for unplugging for a few days. 
When you’re somewhere peaceful, the stress just sort of evaporates 
And beautiful beaches calm your thoughts. 
I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it could be. (Okay, I’m quoting Office Space…) 
Thanks to Thatch Caye for the brilliant end to the year!
