Expedition Schedule Location: Irvine, California June 3, 2009 by Wayne and Karen Brown

We have finalized our expedition schedule so we have a plan of where we are going and when. Even after all our planning and preparation our expedition schedule can change because of boat, plane, or car troubles, changes in weather, or other things that can happen that we didn't plan on.

Here is our current expedition schedule:

June 4 - Arrive in Belize. Overnight in Belize City.

June 5 - In the morning fly from Belize City airport for aerial search for whale sharks along the Belize Barrier Reef, then return to Belize City. After lunch pick-up expedition jeep and drive 4 1/2 hours to Placencia.

June 6-13 - With Placencia as our base camp, each day we will travel by small boat to Gladden Spit and spend the day searching for whale sharks.

June 14-15 - Leave coastal base camp in Placencia and drive to our jungle base camp at Ian Andersen's Adventure Company and Jungle Lodge to explore the rainforest ecosystem.

June 16 - After another day in the rainforest, we drive to Belize City to overnight before our flight home.

June 17 - Morning light from Belize City back to California.

We are excited and a little nervous about leaving for our expedition. On an expedition ever goes completely as we have planned, so we hope that only surprises we have are good ones.

Welcome to the start of
The Belize Whale Shark Expedition!
