I am going to the snorkeling lighthouse reef. It is in Belize a country in the western Caribbean on the coast of Central America. The capital of Belize is Belmopan. The countries that border Belize are Mexico, and Guatemala. The body of water that border Belize is the Caribbean sea. The G.P.S coordinates of Belize are latitude 17.48333- 17° 28' 60 N and longitude is -88.18333-
88° 10' 60 W. The climate of Belize is 24° C in January to 27° C in July. Belize has a lot of beaches, and sand there is a lot of fun place to go with the family in Belize to. The is not really a history of reefs in Belize. Reefs in Belize are important because they are homes to many living organisms like fish and plants. Belize is 4,360.53 miles away from the great Barrier reef. We used a plane to get to Belize. It took $6,380 to get to get to Albuqerque, New Mexico with our flight, rental car and hotel. First we went to Albuqerque, New Mexico. Then we got our rental car and drove to Belize so we could go to our hotel and get all of our stuff to go snorkeling and then we went to go snorkeling. We had no problems during our travel. I think the biggest change from the Snorkeling reef and the Great Barrier reef is how long it took. Because the trip to Hawaii was a lot longer then the trip to Belize and it was hotter in Hawaii.

My family and I are going to the Octopus reef. The country that it is in is Hawaii. Honolulu is the capital of Hawaii. No countries border it. The Atlantic ocean borders Hawaii. The latitude of Honolulu 21.3069444. The longitude is -157.8583333. January, 72.9° F; August, 81.4° F; annual average, 77.2° F. Hawaii has a lot of pom trees, water, beaches, sand and road. Hawaii's history in story and legend is ancient and proud, dating back at least a thousand years before American colonies became a nation in 1776. It is highly unlikely that the exact date when Polynesian people first set foot on these previously uninhabited islands will ever be known, nor much details about events occurring between that date and the first contact with Europeans.
The Hawaiians were a people without writing, who preserved their history in chants and legends. Much of the early history has disappeared with the death of the kahunas and other learned men whose function it was to pass on this knowledge, by means of chants and legends, to succeeding generations.Modern Hawaiian history begins on January 20, 1778, when Captain James Cook's expedition made its first contact with the Hawaiian people on the islands of Kauai and Niihau. Captain Cook was not the first man to "discover" the Hawaiian Islands. He was the first known European to arrive.The language of Hawaii and archaeological discoveries indicate that Hawaii was settled by two distinct waves of Polynesian migration. Cook himself knew that the original Polynesian discoverers had come from the South Pacific hundreds of years before his time. First, from the Marquesas, came a settlement as early as 600 or 700 AD, and then from the Society Islands, another migration about 1100 AD. Lacking instruments of navigation or charts or any kind, the Polynesians sailed into vast oceans. They staked their knowledge of the sky and its stars, the sea and its currents, the flight of birds and many other natural signs. They were superior seamen of their time. Hawaii is important because it is a home to many animals and people and without it there would be a lot of people without homes. The Octopus reef is approximately 6,080.72 miles away from the great barrier reef. The flight, 24 nights in a hotel and a rental car would be 2,777.59.
