Jerry, age 36,

Hobbies: traveling (went to Belize and Denver over a 2 week period this summer )

Welcome, Jerry!

Woot for more 30+'s!  :)

Also, Belize as in the Belize in Central America? If so, cool.  :)  And what was your trip like? I visited there when I was only 5, but I have some pretty vivid memories. (My uncle owned a resort and orange grove there, and he kept bees.) I remember snorkeling, I remember being in the jungle and seeing banana trees, I remember my uncle's parrots that he trained to cackle and laugh whenever anyone walked by, I remember the taste of the honey - honey from tropical flowers is pretty amazing.

Belize was amazing! I actually stayed on Caye Caulker but I did take one day and go inland for a jungle river tour to the Maya ruins of Lamanai. I did a lot of snorkeling, eating fresh fish, and relaxing. I would definitely go back. Oh, and if you ever decide to go back stay at Maxhapan Cabanas. It's a small property run by a woman named Louise who really takes care of her guests. $50 a night gets you a private cabana with a hammock, a veranda, and she supplies you with free bottled water and bikes every day.

Wow, that sounds fantastic! I would love to go back sometime. What are flight prices like?

I misread "threats" as "treats" and was both confused and excited.

Depends on when you look to go. I went the first week of July. My flight schedule looked like this: Chicago to Atlanta (switch planes), Atl to Belize City, stayed a week,  Belize City to Atl (switch planes), Atl to Denver, stayed for 4 days, Denver to Minneapolis (switch planes), Minn to Chicago. The 3 layovers weren't bad since they weren't very long. I got that trip for $500 which is really cheap. I just looked into flights for next Feb and March, however, and prices were pushing towards $1,000. That is the height of tourist season though. I think you just need to keep your eye out and try Expedia, Orbitz, etc.

Jerry, age 36,

has anyone mentioned?  You look much younger than 36 in your picture.  I'm not just sayin' that.
