Hey Jay! Always fun to hear from another Upstate New Yorker. Belize is definitely addictive — I can see why you’d be back! Enjoy your next trip… Galapagos is a dream of mine.

Great roundup! You hit a lot of spots in a months span! I made two trips to Belize (San Pedro and San Ignacio) this year and loved it! The diving is amazing! I dove the Great Blue Hole, the Aquarium, Halfmoon Wall, Tacklebox, Tuffy Canyons, and Hol Chan Marine Reserve. Lots of sharks, green moray eels, eagle rays and other big marine life. I also enjoyed the Actun Tunichil Muknal caves, the Xunantunich Mayan ruins and zip lines across the Mopan River. I’m headed to Quito in a few weeks and diving the Galapagos while I’m there. I’ve seen so many mixed reviews on Quito that I’m trying to keep an open mind. Safe travels and keep up the great blog from another Albany (Colonie) native!

What a fun month! I really enjoy the highlights/lowlights as well! Funny thing about Airbnb – I’ve heard a few horror stories of last minute cancellations by the hosts. As a host, I’ve rented out my Chicago apartment 4 times and don’t have a horror story….yet 😉

In reply to Katie. In this case I was working as a subcontractor, so all the agreements and contracts were between the client and the designer who hired me -- I never even spoke to the client. It was indeed unfair and unfortunate. I can't image taking someone's work and just not paying them!

Wow I can’t believe that client isn’t going to pay you at all! Do you usually do up a contract for your freelancing work or is it more of a verbal agreement? Seems pretty unfair
