Ambergris Caye is the largest and most northern of Belize's islands. It is twenty-five miles long and parallels Belize's barrier reef. Ambergris Caye, once claimed by Mexico, is separated from Mexico only by a narrow channel. During the Mayan period, Ambergris Caye was a trading post. Ruins have been excavated throughout the island, including the Marco Gonzales site, the Basil Jones site, and in San Pedro town.

October 4th, 2010 - Monday

Snorkel, Swim, and See Caye Caulker Day (or other day tour) sponsored by SeaDuced by Belize Stop 1: Hol Chan Marine Reserve: Due to the protected status of the area, the fish populations have exploded. In waters as shallow as 5 feet, large schools of jacks, groupers, snappers and barracuda abound. Along each side of the cut grow healthy stands of corals and seagrass in shallow water, perfect for the beginner snorkeler. The more experienced swimmer can swim from one side of the cut to the other, experiencing shallow reef, drop offs over the steep sides of the "cut", and seagrass and sand beds in the middle of the channel.	Stop 2 – Shark and Ray Alley: The sharks and rays hear the dive boats approaching and begin to school in anticipation of bait being thrown into the water. When you arrive,  you will see the surface often boiling  with rolling sharks and sting ray wings as they vie for the scraps. October 5th, 2010 – Tuesday	Stop 3 – Caye Caulker – Neighboring island to Ambergris Caye and the town of San Pedro. Despite the growth of tourism, Caye Caulker remains a small village with a distinct cultural flavor not necessarily found in large-scale tourist development. Almost all the businesses are locally owned, vehicles larger than golf carts almost never roam the streets, and lodging is small scale and relatively inexpensive compared to many other tourist destinations. 5:30 pm Return to Palapa Bar and Grill: Sundowner Cocktails and Dinner
Fam Goes to Town - The main town on Ambergris Caye is San Pedro Town. It is a mile or so long and encompasses only a few street blocks. Most of the houses are wooden with zinc-roofed houses. San Pedro town is the heart of Ambergris Caye and offers a wide range of restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, and banks. Since the airstrip is also located in town, most resorts and hotels are only a hop, skip & a jump away .	8:30 am - Transportation to Tara Del Sol, continental breakfast, tour of property 10:30 am - Walk to Victoria House, tour property, sponsoring Coastal Xpress passes 12:00 pm -  Cab to town, lunch, meet with I Do Belize Weddings - local wedding coordinator, Jose Luis Zapata - photographer, Carole Goodreau - hair and makeup, Black Orchid - local spa	4PM: Portofino Beach Resort to transport to Portofino for Cocktail reception and Dinner, followed by Seminar provided by AFWPI for international weddings.
