The Placencia Airstrip (Belize)

by Jack Brummet

Driving into Placencia, you share the road with small aircraft landing on the airstrip.

"Although the airport is primarily served by high-wing singles, a Cessna 310 was able to take off and land comfortably with clearance to side brush. Due to the nature of brush growth, it is wise to inquire as to current state of brush prior to flight in any low-wing aircraft, especially ones with minimal ground clearance."

Dean Ericksen's realtime travelogue continues to unfold

My brother and sister in law, Dean and Mary, and their youth Declan, Althea, and Augie, continue their two month journey through Nicaragua and Costa Rica, as reported in the blog Almost There In No Time. The trip has ranged from the harrowing to the sublime, at least from an outsider's viewpoint. There is no question they have been battling with bugs, that is, cooties and microbes, leavened with moments of tropical bliss.
