We survived all of the flights! Tropic Air was an interesting experience! These puddle jumpers had 14 seats, plus the pilot. Some of the seats were loveseat style and one was even next to the pilot! We all thought that the puddle-jumper flights were much better than we had anticipated. Although, we did get nervous for the last landing, in the dark, with fog so thick that we couldn’t see anything. But the pilot hit the unlit runway without even a bump! We were greeted at the “airport” by our fantastic driver and companion, Andy. Andy is a native Belizian, and he has been taking GREAT care of us! We were also met by Danny and his wife Maria, the Nurse Practitioners that run Hillside. We had a traditional Belizian meal at a restaurant and then made our way to the dorms. We were exhausted and most of us were in bed before 9:30!
