I'll be donning my @tranquilotravel twitter hat on Friday, January 5, 2012, for a live chat about traveling in Belize, one of the most interesting, richest, wildest corners of the Mundo Maya. Just throw the #VisitBelize hash tag on your questions and tweet away: Details here.
The chat is at 2 p.m. Belize time (3 p.m. EST). I'm co-hosting with Norbert Figueroa (@globotreks) and looking forward to it. (It's right after my Toastmasters meeting, so I'll try not to be late.) Two random users of the #VisitBelize hash tag will win a copy of MAYA 2012: A Guide to Celebrations in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize & Honduras!
In related news, I'm giving away fresh, autographed copies of both Moon Belize and MAYA 2012. To enter, write a 50-word story in the comments below. The theme: "The Best Travel Moment I Ever Had."
Your story can take place in Belize, another Mundo Maya country, or anywhere else in the world -- as long as it is no more than 50 words! On January 12, 2012, I'll use a random-number generator to select a winner from everyone who enters. Have fun and good luck.
