This Christmas morning there was a knock on our door. A Grand Caribe worker stood at the door with an envelope marked "B & E". I thanked him and wished him a Merry Christmas, wondering what this mystery envelope could possibly be. An invitation? A note from someone?
When I opened it, this is what I found inside:

Wow! My jaw dropped as I showed Barry what was in the envelope -- something completely unexpected. We were taken aback at this gift certificate from blog readers Glenn and Candy, whom we have not even met. What a sweet and generous surprise!
We're delighted that they found our blog inspiring and hope that their visit to Belize is all they hoped for. They certainly picked a beautiful time of year to visit, with perfect Christmas weather -- sunny and warm (cool to people who live here, but that's a good thing in my book!)
Glenn and Candy, if you are reading this, a heartfelt thanks to both of you for this thoughtful gift. As I've mentioned on this blog from time to time, I love wine and rarely get to enjoy it here on the island due to the much higher prices than in the US. The only time I've even been into Wine de Vine was to buy a gift bottle for someone else. So this will be a real treat. And if you are still at Grand Caribe, please stop by our veranda at Chico Caribe before you leave the island so that we can meet you and say thank you in person. If the curtains are opened up, we're home. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
