This is my first non business, or family visit as a solo traveler.    My biggest concern upon leaving was not so much safety and security, but the bag of electronics not fully mastered by me.   It is somber traveling alone, no one to explore with, laugh and giggle over those expected moments.  I do miss that  wink and squeeze of the knee, by my late husband Randy, to signify that “we were on our way”. But this is balanced by the freedom to do whatever you want to, whenever you want to. I would’t had the luxury of a nap upon arrival. Randy would explore every aspect of the place before dinner. To me one of the great luxuries of travel is finding a comfortable senic place, lovely music, and a good page turner of a book. Randy would say…”you can read at home”.  When traveling solo, you do meet people easily. Last night, went to dinner in town, stated talking to two ex pats as I was taking pictures. Soon we were eating dinner together, talking about life in Belize and current events and the recent election in the states. Considering the pros and cons of solo travel, the jury is still out.
