Belize anyone ?

I just got back from Belize the other day. They are taught English and Spanish in school, but I don't think you have to go past the 6th grade (or something close to that). They grow up speaking Creole (sp?) which might as well be Latin as far as I'm concerened. I can't understand any of it. Lots of development. Beware of being too far from Belize City. That's the only real base for export/import. Anything not made by hand within a few miles of Corozal will be coming from Belize City. The farther you are the more it costs. There are a ton of empty houses for sale on the beach in Ambergis Caye and Caye Caulker. Have you been there?

Ya been to both.Alot of those empty homes cost big bucks. I used to live in the keys hurricanes suck. Around Corozal it is the most protected . Also there is shopping just across the border, Even a walmart and casinos duty free zone. Belize city is just nasty,with plenty of crime. I want to be able to leave and when I come back still have a house and no squatters.

Going North to shop didn't even dawn on me. With a WalMart and a Casino, you have it made. LOL

Remember I want a full report! Hope you had a good time my man.

mrsreindeer & I went in March for the first time & LOVED it. I don't know about property but it felt like a nifty idea although the hurricanes worry me. We went to Ambergris Caye, Caye Caulker (so laid back & awesome!) and inland near Caracol. I would definitely go back and it beats Mexico hands down. It's just that a lot of folks don't it yet...which is a good and bad thing. Definitely affordable paradise so good luck to you!
