Dreaming of Belize

You may have noticed that I haven't posted in a while. I guess I kind of let go of the dream for a bit, but the dream, and I, are BACK!

But....the dream has changed....a little. Key West is probably going to be too expensive for us to retire to. So now we have our sights set on Belize. 

Just a quickie that I wrote to a friend on Facebook about Belize:

Well, Belize is on the Atlantic side of Central America and has lots of cayes. We probably will not be able to afford a place on white beaches, but will, instead, get a place in Corozal, which is on a giant bay, with Mexico on the other side. Near nice water, but not white beaches. Also more protected from hurricanes. 

However, nothing is very far in Belize. It's a very small country. They speak English and are a part of the British Commonwealth. Prince Harry visits often. The queen pretty much stays away ever since they fed her a giant rat when she asked for a local dish. 

It's an interesting place with mountains, waterfalls, caves, many rivers, ziplines everywhere, and lots of beaches. It's more expensive than many Central American places, but cheaper than the U.S.!!

Here's a map. Belize is South of Mexico. In fact the area we're looking at is only a few miles from the Mexican border...about seven hours driving from Cancun. 

And we're taking a trip down there in Feb.! Are you ready for pictures? Video? 

In the meantime, we're doing our research. And what better place to post it but here!?!?

Let the fun begin!!
